Solare Ristorante

Thank you so much Solare Ristorante. My dad, sister, and I sincerely received a wonderful experience here. Our soul and stomach were filled with warmth and joy. We had gotten the following dishes for us three to share *Fettuccine all’Aragosta *Frittura di Pesce all’Italiana *Ravioli di Ricotta e Spinaci *Risotto Tartufo e Capesante *Pear & Gorgonzola - we saved a few slices for Mom and brother All the pastas are handmade well. I would describe it as good food from another home that I never knew I have had. The ingredients are fresh and indeed chosen for their quality. The staff here were very kind and attentive to our needs: quick to provide us with high quality service. Prior to coming here, we had made a reservation for 2:46 pm on OpenTable thanks to the Chase Sapphire card benefits. We were immediately welcomed and recognized. Everything from the seating to the ways in which the utensils are laid out are done with great care. The sun streams in at such a nice angle where we were seated too. We weren’t able to provide tip just with our current budgeting, and I take all the blame! Yet, I sincerely hope that this review can hold me accountable to return again to show proper gratitude for all the people here. Thank you all for your service and this space that you create for people. A huge shout out to Alice for being A Wonderful server for us - we were so honored. Wonderful for all occasions, especially special occasions. God bless you all!

We had a special date night while staying in San Diego and were told this is the best Italian in the area. I will say the liberty area was very cool and had a unique vibe. The restaurant itself was very quaint and cozy. What held this back from being a 5 star experience was that the food was not particularly memorable. It was good, tasty even, but this wasn’t something I would say was craveable. I had the ossobuco and my wife had the sea bass. We each had a drink and for dessert we polished off a tiramisu. Again, it was a very decent meal, but compared to some of the places we stumbled on while we were there, this particular venue just didn’t justify the accolades we had heard. Now, I will say that the pizza looked amazing and they make all of their gluten free bread in house. My wife, who has celiac, very much appreciated this and I can attest that the bread was some of the best we have ever had. I imagine the pizza would also be absolutely exquisite, so maybe that is where a 5 star experience lies. We will try it again in the future and if you need a safe Italian restaurant in a very cool area, this is a great location.

My fiancé and I went to Solare to celebrate our engagement. What an incredible experience. Three words to describe it; expressive, welcoming, and personal. We were greeted at a beautiful patio filled with lights, and brought to our private table in the wine room. The service was impecable. Mark did an amazing job, was very knowledgeable and attentive. We shared a bottle of wine and started off with the Arancini and Insalata Pere E Gorgonzola. For our mains we shared the Spinach Ravioli, Pappardelle bolognese, and Oso Buco di Mialie. Ending off the night with house made gelato. I wish I had room for more!! Thank you to Randy, Tommy, and Mark for an amazing experience. We will definitely be back.

Great meals with a fun waiter who knew the menu. Enjoyed the food and would come back again. I did the wine flight which was good. My scallops and risotto was excellent along with the rice balls. My son thought the pizza was one of the best and loved the cheesecake!

Great atmosphere and great service. The food was fresh and made well. However I was not wowed by the food nor does it compare to what I had in Italy. The risotto is definitely seasoned too strongly for us. The fish is fresh and made well and our favorite dish.
