Solo Italiano

Food was very good, a bit pricey for what you get as far as the pasta dishes go.

PHENOMENAL! The food, the atmosphere and the wine selection were all fantastic! The server was knowledgeable, attentive and provided great advice when it came to choosing drink, appetizers, main course and even dessert. I would highly recommend making a reservation and trying out this exceptional restaurant.

Food presentation and tastes were excellent. We enjoyed the wide selection of small dishes as we tend to share while dining out as a preference. Interesting twists to traditional Italian fare.

Excellent service.

Recommended with enthusiasm.

From the staff to the food and the drinks, our entire experience was absolutely amazing! We actually only came for a drink and an app (tuna) and left for dinner reservations elsewhere, but came back here for dessert- tiramisu and cannolis. We had wished we ate her for dinner. Our food was excellent and it was so nice to see staff with amazing work ethic! Everyone was hustling and the place was spotless. I was so impressed; you don’t see any of that anymore. Truly a one of a kind place these days not only for the food but the staffs dedication!

Food here is delicious, service is great and the atmosphere is upscale yet welcoming and comfortable. I had the Angel hair pasta with mushroom/truffle, my friends had lasagne and the pesto pasta. We all enjoyed our meals and ended it with something sweet; the chocolate mousse cake and chocolate gelato. Would recommend all these items!

The food was good but not for what they charge and the portion sizes were tiny. Our quail risotto was 48 dollars ans was only sub par. The waiter was very nice. I liked it but for those prices I'd rather go to Fore street. We are happy we tried it but won't be going back.

We had a very lovely experience dinning here on our first night in Portland. This restaurant does a very good job at bridging the gap between seafood/fish and classic Italian dishes. We ordered the tuna carbonara which is the first time I have seen this type of dish be made and it did not let me down. The appetizers and desert were also very good. I was hesitant about dining here due to the price being comparable or more than typical NYC restaurants but I saw the owner of the restaurant reply to a review saying that their high prices come from paying their employees a fair wage and that is always something I can get behind.
My only con to this place is that they should explore a but more with gluten free options as my wife ordered the gluten free linguine with clams and it came with gnocchi which is typically not the shape used (she’s Italian so she knows) but she was pleasantly surprised that it was still good. Overall would highly recommend if you want a higher end experience or a cute date night.
