Awesome experience today Friday around 1 pm. Not too busy. Parking is as expected, it is a busy area.
Inside and outside seating available. You can also do reservations.
Customer service was excellent, Luigi was just too funny, very kind, professional, and friendly. Also he was very knowledgeable (As an owner should) about every single dish on the menu.
It was our first time, so we asked for recommendations. Ingredients taste fresh and with a very pleasant seasoning.
Pasta and bread are all make there. Every dish from scratch!
Lots of wine options. They also have desserts, just ask, there is no menu for them!
It was pricey, but it is worth every penny for the high quality of the food!
Highly recommended!

This Italian place is hit or miss. It was my birthday dinner. Loved the dip w the bread. Used to work at Pomodoro back in the day. Same recipe and lovely bread. Caprese was ok. My husband ordered the penne with mushrooms as a main. For some reason they added arugula and cooked it into the pasta. Then my Carbonara was odd as well. They took a classic dish and added quite a bit of half cooked bits of onion and a bunch of cooked sage. It really was overly flavored of sage. Neither of these ingredients were listed on the menu. The eggs were a bit overcooked but that part doesn’t bother me much. Why they over complicated it and ruined that dish? I sent it back. I ordered the appetizer ravioli with fig and goat cheese – that was delicious and perfectly done.
The young male server was overall pretty mediocre and inattentive. We have a baby and he took ages to get to us for most things. My husband asked for a spoon and he forgot. He also asked for salt and pepper and also forgot. We requested a kids menu w crayons when we first arrived but they don’t provide such a thing. One thing that was quick was the check.
Been here a handful of times and sometimes it ok and other times kinda sucks for a “fancy” dinner place. A shame because it’s conveniently close by. I much prefer Tutto Fresco’s for their consistency and better service. Hopefully they step it up to earn loyalty.

They have two separate indoor dining rooms and an outdoor patio area. We sat inside and it was pleasant. Service was fine, not very professional but the food was good so overall it was a good experience and we would return.

What a disappointment! This place looked like it had potential, but the food was extremely average and not memorable. I make better pasta for myself on my 30 minute lunch breaks, so I was expecting more from a pricier dinner restaurant.
Our server was wonderful, hence the extra star. The ambiance was strange – we were seated in a lonely room separate from the main restaurant. The music was also not well suited for the establishment – felt better for a club environment. It was distracting, to say the least.

I gave them 2 because the employees were nice and friendly, but the pasta was tasteless and way overpriced. I got a kids pesto and I asked them to add shrimp (we were in the sushi next door and my son didn’t want sushi). They told me they will add 3 shrimps, but the pasta came with 2. I paid $30 for this kids plate. Just two weeks ago I had an amazing Cioppino in Buona Forchetta in San Clemente for $33.
I’m sorry IL Sole, but your math doesn’t add up! Ciao per sempre!

Il Sole has become one of our favorite restaurants. The service is great, with some of the servers are either chefs or studying to be one. They have the best meatballs and their mushroom truffle oil pizza will have you disregard your diet if on one. We make great lamb but the lamb chops are hard to resist, Always enjoyable to see Luigi there an remind him that Sicily is part of Italy and that he is Italian not Sicilian, even though he will debate that. Worth putting on your list to try and enjoy.

Absolutely delicious. I had one of the chef’s specials,veal saltimbocca with risotto, and it was wonderful. Our server, Luigi, was very knowledgeable and attentive. He had a fantastic attitude and gave amazing descriptions of the food that had our mouths watering. They were very kind and accommodated one member of our party that couldn’t have garlic. Definitely a must try!

One of my favorite Italian restaurants! The homemade gnocchi is incredible and the staff was kind enough to substitute Alfredo for the Pesto! Will definitely be back soon!

The food here is amazing, but they really struggle with weekend or event crowds. They don’t really plan and end up running out of everything. My recommendation, enjoy this place on a weekday, because they can’t handle busy weekends.
