Sole - SEA ISLE CITY

Always a delight at Sole! The pizza is fantastic, and the appetizers are great as well. The service is exceptional. We just purchased a house in May after renting for over 30 years, and we're so happy to have discovered this gem!

The food and service are exceptional. The atmosphere is delightful, and you can really sense that it's a genuine family-run establishment.

We had a pretty good meal here last month, but it wasn't anything remarkable. The highlights were definitely the meatballs and the spinach salad, although the salad was a bit over-dressed. On the downside, the mussels were the smallest I've ever had, and half of the dozen we ordered were closed. The Stone Harbor pizza sounded enticing, but it just didn't work out. The crust was too thin, and the toppings were too heavy, with very little sauce or cheese to hold it all together, causing it to fall apart. The atmosphere was bright and open, which is a nice touch for an Italian/Mediterranean restaurant. We might consider coming back and giving it another shot next summer.

I mean, W O W. How lucky the three of us were to score dinner reseys for this place cause did we win with everything we got, or what?!? Apps free bread with a tomato dip that was so savory, bold but not overwhelming and a smidge of heat. The eggplant rolotini, ta die for!! The total STAR of the night. With its rich and full bodied marinara that I almost licked the plate of. The Roman Artichokes, so light and flavorful. Fritto Misto... unreallll! Crispy, not over dressed and that tartar sauce... YUMMO. Entrees didn't disappoint sister 1 had the Wild Boar Bolognese special and I thought she was gonna pass out, it was that good. Sister 2, the swordfish special that she, of tiny stature, ate the whole thing!! I had a Caesar with the duck fat fries side as a chaser.. super good! Dessert we did the Sole Kiss, which is almost like a chocolate and marshmallow stuff beignet with vanilla gelato (I*LOVED!!! and the special Peach Cobbler which the other two gobbled right up. I literally cannot wait to go back there to eat. I wish I could go there more often than just our yearly girls weekend pilgrimage. We met almost the whole staff completely impressed with the flavors they built. Ray cooking it all up in the back, the owner Frank, who was such a super kind hearted, hardworking and humble food runner in this jam packed restaurant, who credited all the sumptuous food delight to his amazing wife and their on the ball, thoughtful, totes cool vibed daughter, Valentina, who was legit doing the tough service work of 5 servers and hostess! I recommend patrons to be patient. All the food is cooked from scratch, clearly made with love and extremely well worth the wait. And if you come in off season remember, most restaurant workers go back to school. But like I said... well worth the wait! See you guys soon, I hope!!

Overall very nice, only complaint the kitchen didn't cut out the lungs of the soft shell crab...glad I caught it. Melon and proccutio was great. Entree special seafood
