Solare Ristorante

Feast of the Seven Fishes. If you see it, get it. Typically a festival happening, we are at Solare for the Christmas Eve dinner. Tonno Crudo, Lobster Bisque, Calamari Salad, GIANT Mexican Shrimp, Cioppino in a white broth, Swordfish Filet and Stuffed Panettone. Every bite was delicious made more so by sauces and garnishes. A fantastic meal with the freshest fish from Tommy Gomes "The Fishmonger". We love Solare, Randy, Tommy and the whole Solare team. That's why we keep going back.

My husband made a reservation here for our anniversary and it was absolutely wonderful! We were in the wine room which provided a quiet intimate place to talk and laugh with each other without hearing other conversations from patrons of the restaurant. Our waitress was absolutely lovely! She was attentive and so very sweet. The care and attentiveness she provided was spectacular. We even met thr owner which was picking out a bottle of wine during our dinner. He was very friendly and stylish. When the food arrived it was cooked to perfection and delicious! This restaurant is a gem that you will fall in love with.

Decent food, fantastic service - for high prices. Our food was delicious except for the chicken dish, which was heavily overcooked. That being said, our waiter was extremely kind and patient and offered us a free dessert for the overcooked chicken. Across the board, a good experience - we would absolutely come back.

Menu options are various and each with it unique twists. The presentation was outstanding and restaurants atmosphere was beautiful. With this said, you are a renowned Italian establishment and eating outside is not as pleasant as indoors (chairs & tables outside are very uncomfortable and not very appealing.) That being said the full bar and extensive wine list was nice to see great selection.

I can’t believe it took me this long to try this place! But with the Michelin recognition AND San Diego Magazine, I felt it worth the try. Now, I can’t wait to return to try more of the menu and bring friends and family. The service is attentive, knowledgeable, and experienced. The food is just so, so good. There’s a solid selection of dishes from various regions of Italy, which is a plus. You don’t have to be in the mood for Sicilian food, because there’s lots of Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna on the menu, as well. They clearly care about their sourcing, and it shows. Highly recommend.

To die for meals. I shared the mussels in red sauce with my sister in law.. they were absolutely fantastic , we were in heaven. The Mahi Mahi in a red sauce really was incredibly tasty .. the best I ever had. The creme broulée was very good for my dessert. It was so wonderful. It was my Birthday dinner. Our waitress was a sweet lady.. everybody was so nice. Can't wait to go back!💞

I stopped in this evening for an early dinner while staying in the area. I was seated outside right away. Service from Ahmed was great. I ordered the appetizer special zucchini blossoms which were very good. I ordered the fettuccine and substituted the shrimp with chicken. It too was very good. A great experience. I’ll be back next time I’m in town
