    Always good food, service was a bit off this time . Poor server, maybe new? Not very attentive. Or just bad support staff.

    This was our first time at Solo Trattoria. We were there for a birthday celebration. We were not disappointed. The service was impeccable—thoughtful and helpful. We were not rushed and enjoyed a delicious slow meal. Thank you for a great celebration.

    Ally was our server and she was terrific. Answered all our questions about the menu. The food was absolutely delicious. I had the Bronzino special and my husband had the rigatoni Bolognese. We also loved the bread. We will definitely be back again.
