    Armando slaying the Happy Hour, wonderful drinks, great customer service and engagement. Returned the same night for dinner and couldn’t have been happier. The food and wine are perfect, the service is a great balance of discreet and attentive. Really cannot wait to be back here.

    Solare is an amazing Italian restaurant with excellent food and service!! James is our favorite waiter because he has a great personality and we have sat in his section 5+ times. All of the pasta is homemade daily with Italian flour so it’s easier to digest and tastes just like real pasta from Italy. I have even attended their lasagna cooking class with chef Maria who is from Sicily and has a hilarious sense of humor. 👵🏼
