Solo Italiano is a restaurant renowned for its superb food, including a fabulous thinly sliced swordfish in steak sauce and delicious bread. The service is excellent, with attentive and knowledgeable staff who know each menu item and provide great recommendations. Customers have praised the amazing waitstaff for their ability to accommodate dietary restrictions and anticipate customer needs. It is a great place for special occasions, although it can be on the pricier side. The restaurant has a comfortable and quiet atmosphere with tables set far enough apart, and the noise level is quieter than expected on a busy night.
The menu offers an eclectic selection with many interesting variations of traditional Italian cuisine and rotates daily. Customers have praised the delicious and large focaccia with prosciutto and the outstanding seafood stew. The food and cocktails are excellent, and each course is very well timed. Reviewers consistently mention that they have never had anything other than an amazing meal at Solo Italiano, highlighting the creative approach of the Chef. One standout dish is the Chef's famous Pesto, which has been described as the best ever tasted. The decor and ambiance are very attractive, creating a pleasant dining experience.
Overall, Solo Italiano offers an excellent dining experience, perfect for celebrations and those seeking high-quality Italian fare. Many diners drive from nearby cities just to enjoy the amazing food and top-notch service.
