    Delicious food. Being able to order risotto and scallops for me is such a treat. Lasagna was layered with a symphony of flavors. Their pear and gorgonzola pizza was simple yet unique and indulgent. I was not a fan of the arancini special was a tad under and could’ve used some time in the oven. Prepare yourself for a loud dining experience it can get quite chatty. Service was very good never had an empty glass. I would love to come back and try something new or possibly do their pasta classes.

    We love Solare, unfortunately it was an off night for the kitchen and server. She brought one entree with the salads and it was barely warm. When the rest of the food came out, 1 out of 5 dishes was hot, the rest were barely warm to cold. Even cold, the food tasted good, just not as good as it could’ve been hot. The owner came over and apologized and brought us a dessert platter which was very nice.

    The service and food was wonderful, but the dining room is very loud. I would recommend outdoor seating if possible because the noise level was at a constant high level.

    We celebrated my best friends birthday at Solare and we had a wonderful experience! The staff was very attentive and provided recommendations for appetizers, our main meal, and dessert. The ambiance was perfect and the restaurant is beautiful! Our meals and drinks were AMAZING! My husband and I are looking forward to returning for a date night!
