Solare Ristorante Italiano

Solare Ristorante Italiano serves authentic Italian cooking built on pasta made fresh each morning. The menu has featured spaghetti with lobster, ossobuco di maiale and wagyu carpaccio, and the kitchen leans on locally sourced ingredients, organic produce, wild fish and hormone-free meat. Brothers Randy, Brian and Tommy Smerik run the restaurant as a family business. It is listed in the Michelin Guide and was named Best Italian Restaurant in San Diego by San Diego Magazine.

Dinner is served Monday through Thursday from late afternoon, with lunch and a daily happy hour on the weekdays and weekends. Guests can eat indoors, on a heated patio or on the lawn, or order takeout, curbside pickup or delivery. Reservations can be booked online. The restaurant is in Liberty Station in Point Loma, San Diego, with free parking nearby, and it also hosts private dinners in a wine room and at a chef's table, plus weddings and cooking classes.
