Went for Sunday brunch and sat out in the patio. The food was delicious! All of the ingredients were fresh and the recipes were authentic Italian. The owner is from Italy and was super friendly. Great experience, already planning our next meal there.

This is literally the best Italian restaurant in OC. The owner Luigi is usually always there's making sure everyone is happy. My favorite dish is the chicken Parmesan. It comes out super hot and crispy every time but the chicken is so juicy and tender. I love this place and have been enjoying the food for a few years now. Each time is awesome and delicious!!!

We had diner, we had our hopes up! Too bad..Mediocre food, ordered calamari for appetizer. It came like hard and impossible to chew. We mentioned this to the server and he took it with like ok attitude. The lady manager come a new plate and ask how is this one, we said: well not good either but eatable, then she comment “I have tried it worse”. For a manager is not the answer you would expect. Then the two main course came 40 mins later. We asked the manager of our food is coming soon.. she came back like 10 mins later and the manager response “fish takes longer” great response.. lol. My plate had risotto (it was not Italian risotto, or risotto at all) it was over cook rice. My husband ink pasta with seafood (you can imagine). The servers also have 0 organization and are all over the place. If you go, my recommendation is (don’t go in the first place) but if you do STAY AWAY FROM CALAMARI AND SEAFOOD.??

Would not recommend, this place has gone downhill!! I ordered takeout and it was pretty expensive for a very small pizza and salad that was underwhelming! Definitely not enough food for two people.

1st time trying this restaurant. Went for brunch and the food was so flavorful and the limoncello drink reminded me of our visit in Italy. Will be back soon for more dishes to try out. Thanks to the owner who was so hospitable and provided excellent service.

Interesting response by the Business Owner to one of the reviews here (see photo). I mean, c'mon at least put some effort addressing your customers' concerns.
Probably my favorite Italian place in Orange County. Every pizza and pasta dish I’ve had is delicious. Highly recommended.

Thank you Ulisses for making my birthday extra special with very tasty rib eye and pasta with roasted garlic and appreciate the touch on the salsas, the gorgonzola was my favorite!! My first time at IL Sole, and many more to come. Great staff, good ambiance and definitely see myself in the patio, when summer comes back around. Once again thank you for a fabulous experience!!

After living in the community for so long, I have walked by this restaurant many times and have never had a chance to eat here until last night. Cute little place tucked away in the shopping center by the rsm lake, a small family owned business serving authentic Italian food. The staff was very nice and professional and the food was nicely portioned and tasty. We will definitely be back again to try different dishes. They have a wood fired oven and the pizzas looked pretty amazing.

The food was delicious. Served hot. I just love the seafood linguine. And the meatballs and spaghetti- such a big portion. Really great! The service was perfect. And the ambience was wonderful. Quiet, romantic, outdoors on a very comfortable night, but we could have heaters if we needed. Honestly, one of my favorite restaurants in RSM.
