    Great experience. Seated quickly. Lasagna, lobster fettuccine, and lamb chops were all very good. Prices were reasonable. Was a little noisy, but I'm not sure anything can be done about that at a popular restaurant. We had an event after dinner at Liberty Station, so the location was very convenient. Will come again and highly recommend it.

    Our first time here and service and food were very good. Food and drinks were quickly served and the depth of flavor exceeded expectations. We ate after seeing a movie at the LOT just a block away and we were able to walk there without the need to re park. Very convenient.

    We recently had the pleasure of dining at Solare and it was an unforgettable experience. This Michelin-rated Italian restaurant perfectly balances authenticity, quality, and charm. There is a warm and inviting atmosphere with soft lighting and thoughtful details that make the space feel intimate and cozy. The food is outstanding. High quality ingredients are used create authentic Italian flavors. Seafood is locally sourced and the pasta is handmade. We really enjoyed the unique dessert dishes as well. The owner personally greeted us and shared stories about the inspiration behind the dishes, adding a personal touch that made us feel like honored guests. The staff was knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely friendly. If you’re looking for an Italian dining experience that combines exceptional food, a welcoming ambiance, and heartfelt hospitality, Solare is a must visit.

    From the moment we entered Solare we all felt the warm, friendly inviting ambiance. The hostess was professional and kind to my friends making them feel right at home. Our server promptly came to our table and introduced himself. All of are dishes were excellent beautifully presented. My scamp was the best I ever have had, the others dishes Caesar salad and squash blossoms outstanding. We are definitely coming back. The wine list is exceptional. Something for every palate. We give Solare 5 stars!
