Kid-friendliness: Not at all kid friendly. The restaurant looks like it wants to be more of a nightclub than a restaurant.
Wheelchair accessibility: Not great. The restaurant entrance has a vestibule with no door opener on either door. Inside, the ordering counter is bar-height and affords no options for people using a wheelchair.

Walked in, looked around and walked right back out. This is NOT Sole d italia. The new owner kept the name to try and hold onto a beloved local joint and turned it into a strip club without poles. If you want to make your own thing then do that, but don’t tarnish what was once a family restaurant by keeping the name.
Kid-friendliness: NOT KID FRIENDLY AT ALL!! AVOID ALL ALL COSTS!!

Since changing owners, the pizza tastes better than what is used to, but the restaurant isn't really family-friendly anymore. The decor and general vibe now feels like a low-budget nightclub. It's dark inside with club seating and only a handful of tables. The staff isn't super friendly but that's easy to overlook if you're just picking up a pizza to go. I can only speak on the pizza because we don't order anything else, but the crust, sauce, and cheese: decent. The toppings: skimpy. Yet it's still an improvement from what it used to be.
Parking: Good bar spot

This was once the most beloved family pizza places for 50 years. There were legions of fans that would initiate each new generation of the best pizza in MoCo. Sadly the business was sold and the only thing still the same is the name. They turned the inside into a gaudy strip club looking place, certainly not a restaurant. If the pizza was the same, people would adjust to carry out but they changed it completely and it’s nasty. The people are rude and service is terrible. All the reviews in the last year on all review sites are 1 star or worse and it’s a mystery how they stay in business, they need to change the name. It’s not a pizza place or Italian restaurant anymore. They should be sued for false advertisement. Hopefully it closes soon but what they did to the name is a crime.

The absolute WORST service I think I have ever experienced. I walked in one August 1st 2024 at 7:17 pm to pick up the order I placed online. Stood there for 6 minutes before some for the back acknowledged me and told me someone would be coming. Then it took another 5 minutes after that after no one came for them to walk out and ask what I ordered. This is a horrible way to conduct a business. The cheese pizza was good but the mushroom and onion that was ordered hardly had any on it and the charge is $3 per topping. I understand the price of everything is gone up, but hardly have any toppings on for that amount of money is ridiculous. Then the pizza was not even thoroughly cut, and all the cheese fell off. Would not recommend this place to my worst enemy and my family has been ordering from them since I was a kid.

I dropped by for the first time in a while as the restuarant has consistently provided above average Italian/Mediterranean food in a fun, inviting, family atmosphere. I was shocked to find out it us under new ownership and that the place has gone completely down hill. If you were a fan of it in the past, you won't want to go again. If you've never been there, you won't want to go now. The person taking my to-go order was incredibly rude. The pizza and hotwings I ordered were completely different than before -- both tasting so poorly I could only eat a portion of them before realizing both just needed to go in the trash. I hate wasting food but neither were really edible. And the atmosphere has completely changed. It's no longer a family restaurant but something resembling more of a 1980s strip club with creepy leather chairs, low lighting, and no really place for people to sit at tables. So sad to see such a neighborhood treasure get ruined.

This used to be my family’s favorite pizza place that we would order multiple times a month!! I’ve been coming here for over 15 years. The place has gone so down hill!! I ordered 2 pizzas and they told me 30 mins, 1 hour later and it still wasn’t ready. When I went to pick up there’s no one at the counter to help you… the owner looks like he just sits on the couch and gets up whenever he feels like helping. The inside looks like a tacky club, I wish it would go back to the way it was! Such a shame.

Came in thinking it was an “actual” restaurant with dining. Judging from the pictures makes you think so but it was far from something even Resembling a typical restaurant . Don’t come here expecting to sit. Food wasn’t bad but didn’t blow my socks off either. Service was nonexistent and they took so long to make my food I told them to change it to carry out because I wasn’t going to sit there any longer. I was told they have been bought by new owners recently and I have to say, whoever’s vision it was to change this place from a traditional restaurant to a dive bar/club hybrid was definitely not told no enough as a child.
All in all just do carry out or order on a delivery app if you’re dead set on eating here.
