Went for a friend's birthday as a group of six. Highly recommend having a group that you can share all the delicious tapas and taste some of everything. Everything we ordered was delicious and spaced out really nicely at 3 to 4 plates at a time. Really impressed with the menu and the chef. Variety was great and we had plenty to order as vegetarians. Really looking forward to go back.

Dinner was delightful. The beet salad was amazing ( and I usually don’t like beets). The mushroom paprikas was so delicious and rich. The pasta was homemade and cooked to perfection (Al dente of course) Highly recommend everything on the menu.

We love Panzanella, the food is excellent and the service is great. We come at least once a week, it’s delicious food and the atmosphere is so pleasant. The outdoor seating and the orange Vespa on display make you feel like you just escape to Italy.

This was our first time to had fantastic Birthday dinner for my husband. We sat outside and watched people walking by while we enjoyed truly great foods. We felt the cozy like home feeling ambiance throughout. If you are looking for fancy luxurious place, this restaurant is not for you. However if you are into nice warm atmosphere with genuine quality of Italian cuisine, you are right on with Trattoria del Sole & Market del Sole! Dawn & Dale
