Thank you so much Solare Ristorante. My dad, sister, and I sincerely received a wonderful experience here. Our soul and stomach were filled with warmth and joy.
We had gotten the following dishes for us three to share
*Fettuccine all’Aragosta
*Frittura di Pesce all’Italiana
*Ravioli di Ricotta e Spinaci
*Risotto Tartufo e Capesante
*Pear & Gorgonzola – we saved a few slices for Mom and brother
All the pastas are handmade well. I would describe it as good food from another home that I never knew I have had. The ingredients are fresh and indeed chosen for their quality. The staff here were very kind and attentive to our needs: quick to provide us with high quality service.
Prior to coming here, we had made a reservation for 2:46 pm on OpenTable thanks to the Chase Sapphire card benefits. We were immediately welcomed and recognized.
Everything from the seating to the ways in which the utensils are laid out are done with great care. The sun streams in at such a nice angle where we were seated too.
We weren’t able to provide tip just with our current budgeting, and I take all the blame! Yet, I sincerely hope that this review can hold me accountable to return again to show proper gratitude for all the people here. Thank you all for your service and this space that you create for people. A huge shout out to Alice for being A Wonderful server for us – we were so honored.
Wonderful for all occasions, especially special occasions. God bless you all!

Excellent Italian dinner at Solare Ristorante in Liberty Station! The food was fantastic, we had the spiny lobster fettuccine all’Aragosta and risotto tartufo e capesante (scallop risotto with black truffle) and it blew us away. The cocktails were also very yummy; we had the Italian lemon drop and Manhattan alla monarca. Great service, friendly and attentive. Dog friendly outdoor patio. Recommend!

We’ve eaten here several times since moving here and it’s a great restaurant. Nice atmosphere and great menu. It’s fun to come early and sit at the bar before dinner.

I recently visited this Italian restaurant located in Liberty Station, and I was pleasantly surprised by the overall experience. The atmosphere felt cozy yet stylish, and it was a great spot to enjoy a relaxed dinner. One of the highlights here is definitely the wine selection. They offer a wide range of options, and it felt like the kind of place where you could spend extra time pairing your meal with the perfect glass. For food, I ordered the scallops risotto, which turned out to be really delicious. The scallops were large, fresh, and cooked just right, which added so much flavor and texture to the creamy risotto. I am usually not a fan of truffle, and the dish did include a touch of it, but aside from that detail, I truly enjoyed the flavors and would recommend it. I also tried the squash soup, which was smooth, flavorful, and comforting without being too heavy. For dessert, I went with a peach option, and it was a refreshing way to finish the meal. Sweet but light, it didn’t overwhelm after a rich dinner. Overall, this restaurant is a great choice in Liberty Station, especially if you appreciate good wine and Italian dishes.

First time here and everyone was so friendly and accommodating. One of the assistants to our server recommended his favorite risotto with scallops dish and it was perfect! My husband chose the risotto with ox tail and he said it was one of the best he’s had. Creme brulee was pistachio. Different. Not bad but not the silky texture I’m use to. Probably would skip next time.

Some of the best Italian food I’ve had in San Diego. Loved every dish we ordered and I would definitely recommend this place if you’re in the San Diego area.

We went for the Christmas Eve dinner which included four courses for 70 dollars a person. They ran out of the special lasagna which was possibly the best option for the main course. The food quantity is small for the first 2 courses which as seen on the photo.
