Delicious! – Went there last nite after trying to eat at Mamajuanas right down the block and saw a HUGE cockroach run across the floor there (see my other review). We stopped in here and I must say was pleasantly surprised. Ordered off the appetizer menu, crab cakes and mussels marinara. Wow. The best of both that Ive had in YEARS. I actually tweeted while I was eating that I was having a food orgasm. LOL. Cant comment on the entrees but my friend also loved his food. He had the stuffed sole and calamari. Both very good. I a... read more

Good food, nice service, cozy restaurant – Just moved into the neighborhood and am very close by. Honestly there are not too many restaurant choices in the area so this place is really the one to beat. As a lover of basil, they serve one of the best pesto dishes with their linguine. The mozzarella caprese dish is very good (the red peppers add a wonderful sweetness), but in my opinion could use a lot more basil and I recommend that they use whole basil leaves instead. I'm going to continue to go here and try other entrees as... read more

What a horrible meal! – About a year ago, we ate at Il Sole and just loved it. Great service, somewhat creative food options, very well prepared. Went again last night--Mother's Day--and it was HORRIBLE. The beautiful decor had been largely changed (zebra print banquettes?) Took 10 minutes to find a hostess to seat us. Another 10 to get menus. Ordered a bottle of wine, it sat on the bar for 10 more minutes until we flagged down our waitress and asked her to open it. The menu was very boring, old-school low-end stereotypical ... read more

Service was so bad, I got up and left – My wife and I decided to check out Il Sole last night and had the most ridiculous dining experience. We were seated indoors because there was a wait for the outside. We put in our food order and asked for a wine list which wasn't given when we were seated. After ten minutes, I went to the hostess to get my own wine list. Finally the waitress came over and we ordered a bottle of wine. Ten mintues later, still no wine. The couple sitting next to us had been sitting for 15 minutes and had... read more

Lousy service – First, the food is good, not great, but satisfying. In a neighborhood long in need for a red sauce place, the service needs great improvement. Taking a drink order during dinner when the restaurant is half full should not take more than 20 minutes. Taking the food order should occur in a timely fashion, and check on levels of drinks to fill another order. I have visited this place over ten times and three times they have gotten an entree order wrong. In correcting the entree, it comes out in record time, whic... read more

Excellent Yummy Food – The food is AMAZING better than any downtown restaurant. The service is superb. The girls who answer the phones are so sweet. We order at least twice a week. Delivery service takes about 15 to 20 minutes which is a shock that your food comes so quickly. Your bag is overstuffed with bread, napkins and utensils. Inside Il Sole the decor is beautiful and romantic. The designer deserves to be told how delicious the decor looks. The waitresses are at your table filling your water or oil before your last sip... read more
