Trattoria Sole

The food is very ordinary. It's acceptable, but I would not accept this level of quality in my own cooking. Like eating Italian food at Howard Johnson's. more

I went with my wife. My wife's plate was completely bland & mine was overed in salt. To top it all off the waiter was rude & made sure to tell us to tip at least 18%. more

The bread was dry, hard enough to put a hole in the wall, and tasteless- inexcusable in an Italian restaurant. The Risotto with mushrooms was good, as was the spaghetti with pomodoro. The latter is a dish which, by its mere simplicity, is rarely impressive. However, in this case there was a subtle, intriguing sweetness, perhaps the basil (not my favorite spice, BTW) which complemented it so well. The risotto was rich, creamy, and loaded with earthy mushrooms. The veal with walnuts failed miserably. One of my peeves with sauces is that they must not have that fake bouillion taste. The sauce in this dish tasted like fake bouillon with a splash of flavoring (perhaps Marsala). The veal cutlets in the dish were over cooked, and the walnuts did not harmonize or integrate with the dish; they were tossed in like a disparate after thought. Oh, the bottled beer was great...the Cosmopolitan, on the other hand, was undrinkable. Then came the Pistachio "Panna Cotta". Although this dessert was good, it was an "interpretation" of a panna cotta. I was amused when the dining companion said there was yogurt in it LOL; the tart flavor it had is never characteristic of an authentic panna cotta. Add to this the typical South Miami hassle for parking and this experience is down to 2 stars. more

Clean, delicious and GREAT service! Definitely recommend it to all my friends and family! more

The ambiance is nice even though the tables are too close together. Service was good. the food was excellent. \r The grouper carpaccio is the best. The lobster raviolis were so good that my only wish was for a bigger portion.\r Overall it was a nice experience.\r This visit was on a Friday at around 8:00pm more

This restaurant is a wonderful Italian place in the heart of South Miami. If you are looking for an authentic Italian food, delicious drinks, excellent ambience, at incredible prices...this is your place. I recommend this restaurant to everyone. I especially love how comfortable I feel when I go. So friendly and wonderful.... experience this Italian dream when you get the chance. You will not be disappointed. more

2 start Torre di Capti & Gamberi al prosciutto. Nocchi con pera/ gorgonzola, rollatine di pollo, risotto champagne great. The scallopine vitello w/ caprino & pomodori secchi was 2 strong & didn't like as much. more

Food was excellent. Dined w/ 2 other couples,used 3 credit cards and in 5 days all 3 credit cards were compromised. more

I've had the pleasure of dining at this establishment twice. I had a positive experience both times. The service was great as was the food. I highly recomment the gorgonzala and pear stuffed pasta. I recommended the same dish at another restaurant, but this one is just as good or better. We also loved the figs and cheese dessert. Simple, but VERY tasty. My only problem is the over-priced drinks. more

My wife and make it a point to drop by this wonderful Trattoria when we are in Miami. It's a terrific lunch destination and we love ordereing the Sardenian white wine here. Pasta is made on site and chef is quite talented. Recommended! more

Can I say Wow!!!!!????!!!!! I had not been to Sole since the remodel and was happy to see the new look was very inviting and cozy! Great job! As usual the food and service were phenomenal!!!! Kudos to the Chef and the owners!!! You guys are doing something right in this depressed economy...still trying to please every customer that walks through your door! Pros: FOOD & SERVICE Cons: Haven't found one more

The pastas are to die for! more

Service was great. Food was average, and slightly overpriced. Definetly, I have had better Italian food in Miami. more

Great service and wonderful food. Domt miss this tiny gem in Soiuth Miami. more

The best pumpkin ravioli I have ever had. Hands down. more

The food is great and I loved that they had gnocchi but it was way overpriced, say $16 for a plate of potato pasta with no meat or vegetables. The atmosphere was nice, very dark and intimate. more

This place serves very ordinary Italian food. You can do better at home. If you sit outside, get ready for traffic noise. Pros: Clean, service is okay Cons: Food is ordinary more

MY HUSBAND & I ALWAYS ENJOY OUR DINNERS AT SOLE TRATTORIA. THE FOOD IS TASTY, GOOD SERVICE, GOOD SELECTION OF FOOD & WINES. IT IS KID FRIENDLY, ESPECIALLY IF YOU LIKE TO SIT OUTSIDE. THE FIRST TIME WE WENT WAS FOR MY HUSBAND'S BIRTHDAY, (OVER 2 YEARS AGO) WE MADE A RESERVATION, AND WHEN WE ARRIVED, THEY SAT US WITHIN 5 MINUTES, AND WE JUST LOVE IT! Pros: WONDERFUL ENVIROMENT Cons: WISH IT WAS A BIT BIGGER! more

This was a terrible experience. We walked up to the restaraunt, and our group appeared invisible. We gave our name and were quoted a 40 minute wait (4 people). Well, we waited for OVER 2 hours!!! We checked with the host periodically, and he did not appologize. Better service is expected in South Miami, but it felt more like South Beach. Servers had the attitude that they were doing us a favor. But our biggest problem was with the host, and his attitude. We gave the waiter a chance to redeem the evening, but he failed. The food was acceptable, not worth a 2 hour wait. Stay away from Trattoria Sole, or better, go to South Beach, where you can expect bad service.... At least you have the beach ambiance. We will never go back. (And we visited Trattoria Sole 11/02, So I've had some time to cool off.) Pros: Food was OK, South Miami Outdoors, None Cons: Rude Host, Wait times unreal, Poor Wait staff more

A group of 7 of us dined at this restautant on 9-13-02. The host was very rude to us form the beginning. Weather was bad that night lots of rain, and parking was hard to find so we arrived 10min late. The host advised us callously that we were late and as a result of that our table had been given away, and that we would have to wait! As the evening moved on our server was very nice. However, not even five min after the waiter droped off the bill for us to sign, the host once again very uncouthly advised us that we had to get up from the table and move to the bar! And NOT in a NICE manner. I understand poeple are waiting but show a little courtesy towards paying customers. Lastly the Food was ok no big deal, olive garden has better food!!!!! more
