The Corner Room is cozy because it's a convivial spot where friends and families can enjoy delicious Italian dishes. It's got an energetic ambiance with an open kitchen, music playing, and a warm, friendly atmosphere. As one reviewer said, 'it's a small space and a tad crowded which also brings the noise level up, but the food makes it all worth it.' Plus, the wait staff are consistently friendly and professional. It's a place where you can have a great time, relax, and enjoy good food.

    Fantastic experience. We ended up wanting to show up a little earlier than our reservation, and they were very accommodating. The food, atmosphere and people were excellent. If you want something small, intimate, relatively quiet with an outstanding menu, this is your place. This was our third visit. We'll probably go again the next time we're in town, well done!

    I will be thinking about that leche de tigre in the scallop ceviche for months. Every dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully plated. Our only feedback was that we would have loved a little more explanation of each dish when it was served (but we also could’ve just asked for that). We are soooo happy we popped in for dinner. Thank you!

    We had a wonderful Christmas eve dinner at Solo Italiano (with the help of an early Christmas gift card!) The Il Cappon Magro was a really fun and different antipasti starter course for a special evening. As we were walking to our table, we had seen in the prep area behind the glass, this rather giant jello mold looking mound with shrimp that piqued our interest. Upon inquiring, we discovered it was a "traditional Genovese fish layered 'cake' of halibut, scallop, lobster, Gulf shrimp, mussels, salsa verde, beets, cauliflower, carrots, green beans and potatoes!" (took photo of description off the menu!) We shared a very large serving, and thoroughly enjoyed it, although too much for the 2 of us to finish as an appetizer! For our main courses, we had a very good stuffed ravioli as well as an amazing "Filetto in Crosta" beef tenderloin in puff pastry with foie gras & prosciutto, served with Brussels sprouts, their house steak sauce and winter truffles. The wonderful chocolatey dessert was a great finish!
