Great neighborhood Italian restaurant. There is live Jazz on Thursdays and nice wine by the Glass menu.Parking: It's New York City street parking is always a crapshoot. There are several parking lots in the area that are a better bet. Be sure to check closing times and pick a 24 lot.Wheelchair accessibility: Ground level no steps.

The food was amazing. I wouldn't mind getting the vodka pasta again but the next time I go I'll try something else (I have my eyes on the birria pizza). The lasagna was amazingggg omg, such a good portion too. Pull apart bread was great and was a nice touch to the pasta. We sat at the bar and the bartender was super helpful, made recommendations and was very accommodating. We went on a Tuesday afternoon and it was really quiet but we didn't mind. I'll be back for sure.

Had my birthday dinner here and enjoyed every minute. The staff were so attentive. We were a large group of 16 ppl and we loved every single dish. We had the restaurant almost to ourselves which was a plus we loved the service so much that we decided to just stay after dinner for hookah, drinks and music . The manager Bryan was great and communication with him was super easy . I'm so happy I chose this place for my bday dinner. Will definitely return .

I love coming here! As a local for more than 10+ years in Washington Heights/Inwood resident - I’ve always felt safe, welcomed and treated with so much love by the staff! The owner, Sandra, is the FIRST restaurant on the plaza and she has kept the highest quality of her food and customer services for more than 20+ Years! We do not need to worry about having incoming crowds who do not know how to behave in public as she makes sure all of her customers are well taken cared of and do not make others feel uncomfortable. The food - AMAZINGGGG!!! - as a notorious traveler - I really love the love they give in every dish! IL Sole definitely brings me back to Tuscany Italy with their pasta and wine selections. Lastly - Thursdays are LIVE JAZZ THURSDAYS!! ALLLLL YEAR AROUND IL Sole is my TOP choice on the Dyckman Strip. Women Owned - Minority Owned and lead by a great loving professional staff. We need more restaurants on the stripe to follow her lead in order for us locals to come and enjoy more!

I recently dined at this restaurant, and it has quickly become one of my favorites. The food is incredibly flavorful and tasteful, leaving a lasting impression. The service is top-notch, and the restaurant's cleanliness adds to the overall positive experience. I must say, the pull-apart bread is an absolute must-try; it's a delicious treat that shouldn't be missed. Thank you for a fantastic dining experience!
We happened to stumble in during Jazz night, on Thursday, the staff was amazing, the food was good, and the service was exceptional. We had the lobster ravioli with shrimp and the penne ala vodka with chicken and it was exceptional! If you’re look g for good food and a good vibe this is the place to go!

Friday, September 27, 2023 @1:00 pm"The higher the clouds, the finer the weather" and indeed it was. My daughter Brandy and I were looking for a place to have lunch in the Inwood section of Manhattan and she chose this restaurant. Iiana, was the only waitress at this time and she had several other tables to wait on, yet she didn't fail to check and see how everything was and if we needed anything else. Brandy's dish was the chicken scampi with linguine. The menu says shrimp scampi, but she requested chicken instead. I had chicken francaise with linguine, seasoned with garlic and oil. Both dishes were good. Il Sole has a relaxing atmosphere and good customer service plus live jazz every Thursday from 4:30 - 7:30 pm. #ilsole #ilsolerestaurant #nyc #dinner #lunch #seafood #pasta #pizza #soup #salad #livejazz #greatcustomerservice #forkfeed #good #foodblog #foodiesofinstagram #foodstagram #foods #instablogger #instagramblog #instafood #instagramblogger #instragram
