Editorial Review for Sole Mio – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
Casual by day and romantic by night, the restaurant at the end of Third Avenue, near the symphony. In warm weather, couples and small groups clamor for outdoor seats. Chef Agnoletti left northern Italy, toting his recipes for pastas and sauces that leave diners crying, "Amore." Favorites include the fresh manicotti the gnocchi, especially when paired with his kick-in-the-pants arrabbiata sauce. Desserts include amaretto-soaked chocolate layer cake.

... "Amazing." I often find it difficult to give a place a good review, as my ID may imply, but too often jewels like Sole Mio are over looked. Having been in this city for many years I have dined at Sole Mio several times and have always been pleased. Recently several friends and I met there for dinner. We were greeted most enthusiastically with "we've been waiting for you!" It seemed fairly busy that night and immediately we were taken to a table by the window; as if she knew exactly where we would like to sit. Our server's name was Deb; she spared no attention to detail and treated us as if we were the only customers she had. The GM was wondering through the dining room and greeted us with a heart-felt warm welcome, "Thank you for being here." WOW, so far so good. We all shared a couple of appetizers and each of us had a different entree listed on their "specials" menu. We couldn't believe how great the food was. I'll have to say try the Cioppino and the Chateau Briand; you won't be disappointed. The GM checked with us several times to make sure we were happy, and honestly, we could not have had better food or service anywhere. After we finished our meal we were invited back for a benefit for Susan G. Komen on the 28th, he explained every month they are having a dinner and 50% of their proceeds will benefit the charity; just when you thought it couldn't get any better... not only do they really care about their customers, they care about the welfare of people in general. What treat to find in this day; good customer service, great PR and benefits for charities people actually care about and want to attend. Kudos to Sole Mio, keep up the good work. I know where my money is going for dinner; at least once a month!

Pros: the food and the service

Cons: surprisingly... can't think of a thing

My husband and I went to Sole Mio for symphony date night this weekend, and were absolutely thrilled with the food and the service. We hadn't been to the new location before but I must say, it's terrific and very convienient to the symphony. Both of our entrees were delicious! My husband had the seafood pasta, and I had the mediterranean chicken with vegetables. The restaurant was packed and we were a little nervous about being able to get in and out quickly, but we were seated as soon as we arrived, the service was quick, but we did not feel as though we were being rushed, and were told that we could leave our car and walk to the symphony after dinner. When the symphony ended, we came back to Sole Mio to have tiramisu for dessert, which was included in our symphony package. This is by far the best Italian in Nashville, and more importantly, our new favorite date spot.

Pros: parking, friendly staff, great food

Cons: none
