| - I didn't leave Solo feeling like Jabba the Hut, which is a plus. There were some real highlights to the meal, but the entrees were a mixed bag.
The caprese was delicious with a hard and soft (fresh) mozzarella, and three different tomato presentations. Fresh, roasted, and a sweet chutney. Be sure to have the bread served with this appetizer, or else it's not very substantial. For entrees, we had a pasta dish in pink sauce with peas and mushrooms. (We opted for no ham.) The sauce was tasty, but the homemade pasta was very thin and didn't hold the sauce well. We also had a chicken dish with a vegetable and bean ragout. The ragout was outstanding, with the beans somehow almost giving the dish a texture of home fries. The chicken, however, was dry and bland.
The cappuccino and tiramisu were both excellent, although the tiramisu was a little heavy on the moscarpone.
Live music. Great service. A little pricey. I wish there was a 3.5 star option. I want to return to try the pizza, but I think I'll avoid the entrees.
