First, I have to say that the building Sole is housed in is really beautiful. I love the atmosphere, and have spent hours talking with friends over lunch there. That said, this last time I went, there were a few let downs. First, I was surprised at the quality of ingredients on my pizza. Loved the crust, loved the lavendar and thyme oil, but the tomatoes were just plain old Roma tomatoes, and they were raw. Not very appetizing. Also, the artichokes on the pizza seemed to come from a can - and the hard, chewy bits were not always removed. Overall, the pizza tasted fine, and I enjoyed it. But the price Sole makes you pay is too high for the quality of the food. I have noticed this before on previous visits as well. Next, the Gelato tasted fine - however it was incredibly expensive for the amount in the teeny tiny bowl. Two tiny scoops - about the size a small melon baller would create. Very disappointing. Also, I need to mention that while the waiter was attentive at first, he never once came to refill our water. We also had a long wait for our pizzas - and the two pieces of bread they offered were quickly eaten and never replenished. It would have been nice to have the waiter offer us more bread while we waited. Overall, I have to say that my experience was not AWFUL, but the service and food quality at Sole seems to be declining. I hope they make some changes soon, or else I fear they may lose business.
