Entrees and desserts for our party of 5 were all great

Hands down the best dinner in the Portland area we have had in years!! Food, service and ambience was incredible!! You have to experience this place!!

Prices are very high and portions are very small. I dined with my significant other at Solo for an early dinner. Our service and food were exceptional. We shared a small beet, Gorgonzola and greens salad which was very good. The house bread was good also. I had my favorite dish of linguine with clams in a light broth with tomatoes. It was very good but again a very meager portion. You might see the thread that the food is good but the portions are really small. It’s hard to understand why they could not provide more pasta. My boyfriend with dietary restrictions had the halibut which was a tad overcooked with a few slices of potatoes and a few tomatoes. I did not like the gelato. Wine was fantastic. It’s a fantastic restaurant which is pricey and provides very small portions.

Roma provides very good Italian food that is a cut above basic options that many Italian theme restaurants offer. Having a chef from Italy is a real treat. We have been there a few times, and found that the menu changes, which is a good way to offer variety.

Such a lovely spot just outside the main streets.
