Solé is another Fairfield county favorite of mine. Recently I had the cauliflower and Brussels sprouts appetizers which were really good; I also had the zoodles with eggplant meatballs shown in photo and it was awesome! My food wasn't heavy but I still left feeling full. Love the moody vibes inside, super chic. read more

Sole Restaurant - Italian Near Me - New Canaan, Connecticut

Service is great, but the food isn't so great since they recently changed the menu. Honestly, food was just eh for all of us. Best thing at the table all night was strawberries and cream for dessert. read more

Located on Elm Street in the center of New Canaan, Sole is a lovely restaurant boasting modern chic and interesting twists on traditional Italian dishes. The service is the friendliest and most hospitable that I've encountered anywhere in a long time. They take time to get to know you and treat you like gold. The food was outstanding. I had the fjord salmon which was served with a generous dollop of walnut and tarragon mustard along with a plentiful mix of spring vegetables and wild rice. We also got a hoot out of spotting Harry Connick, Jr. among the patrons while dining here. So next time you find yourself at the nearby playhouse or shopping, do plan a visit here for a wonderful dining experience sure to please adventurous palates. read more

Dinner at Sole last night. Dinner for 2, halibut was excellent as usual and shrimp bowl first time ordering was delicious. Shrimp done perfect in wood fired oven, rice & veggies spicy and very tasty. Service perfect. Been here multiple times always a good experience. read more

Place packed. Noise level unconscionable. Service good. Food: every dish a near miss. Price: unjustifiable.

This is one of my favorite places. Pizza is great and the best seafood plus pasta. Sunny and bright location

Fantastic! I had the Brussels Sprouts appetizer and it was just amazing. A little spice pared with the sprouts. Just a nice touch. Then I had the Halibut for dinner. Halibut can sometimes be dry but this was perfectly prepared. Just a lot of flavor and the sauce took it to the next level! read more

loved it. Steak was great. Salad was fresh, bread was nice and soft. Staff was wonderful.

Excellent food and service. Very crowded Saturday night place was packed. Salmon was cooked to perfection as was the halibut. Salads were also fresh and tasty. Defiantly going back. read more

I was overly harsh earlier. The food at Sole is absolutely terrific. However, I'm here to warn you that ordering for pickup is a high risk proposition and just be really careful and ask for extra bags and check how securely the sauce lids are closed I have 3 separate family experiences to report that the food is not packed properly and has little chance of surviving the exit of the car. In none of these instances was I the driver. i will not order for pickup here. I will dine here One family car needed to be detailed to fix the smell inside, the mats had to be tossed... We will find out about car number 2 tomorrow Re the food, truly it is good and halibut off asphalt is not bad, texture wise and thankfully the bread soaked up the splattered sauce quite well. If you do want to eat light, then don't ask for extra bags or bring your own containers. I would recommend eating in over picking up read more

It was crowded on a Saturday night. Food was good but pricey given the taste. We made the choice to sit inside and it probably the wrong choice as it was loud for what seemed unnecessary. My kids were confused as to whether it was trying to be a hip place or family place. To be fair, the halibut was well seasoned, but for just under 40 a pop I found that the dish in its entirety was just ok. The lobster in my hubs dish was generous. We wanted to really love this place- it was good but not great. Service was very good. Perhaps my expectations were a bit too high given that I've not found a great seafood place near us. read more

One of my favorite places to eat on Elm!! GReat menu, delicious drinks and lovely atmosphere... low lighting, modern accents and nice bar inside. The outdoor patio is a nice spot to people watch too. read more

Can't say you're guaranteed an incredible meal here. You are though, a very nice patio, being surrounded by snoots, with lots of people-watching of walking by snoots. The inside is lovely too. Meals were all pretty good though.. 3.5...Maybe 4 star worthy. I do think it's the best food you can find in New Canaan (which actually isn't saying much because haven't had a really good meal in NC). Nice bread given with dip. Wish the eggplant meatballs were not fried. But we all enjoyed our pasta dishes and the butternut squash soup. read more

Service is terrible and takes long. And the food is in the middle I don't recommend this restaurant also it's crazy expensive I had one meal for 184 dollars. read more

Service was superb. At lunch I ordered a salad with grilled chicken. Unfortunately the chicken was very dry and difficult to chew. Parking is a challenge at lunch. Probably easier at dinner. read more

Absolutely fabulous food and environment. Very friendly staff. Highly recommended. Have been there for both brunch and dinner,

Perfect date night restaurant. Drinks were strong but delicious. Food was very good. Friendly and attentive staff.

Our first visit on a Friday night at 7pm with a group of six. To the front of a busy restaurant with tight table spacing and lots going on. Reservations are highly recommended, esp for weekend dinner. The rectangular dining room fronts and sides the open kitchen. Our round booth was cozy and off the floor, so foot traffic was light. Getting to the bathroom around the packed tables required logistics. Not enough room to allow two to pass each other. Our server, Ricardo, was stellar, and other than empty water glasses, we were well taken of, and courses were spaced appropriately. We ordered calamari and mussels for table share. The calamari was light and crispy - good stuff - and the mussels were fresh, small and perfect in their red curry sauce (and my dunked bread agreed). My entree, braised veal ravioli in a Marsala wine and wild mushroom sauce was terrific and the two diners really enjoyed their pastas - a ricotta cavatelli with sausage in a broccoli rabe pesto. The linguine with clam sauce was not as big a hit although there were abundant Manila clams. Kudos for having a current on-line food menu and an updated and well structured wine list. A tad steep on the corkage at $40 per bottle. Would definitely visit regularly if we lived in da hood! read more

We came here for a lunch date this afternoon, and were very impressed the service and the food. The yellow tail avocado ceviche was delicious as was the parmasean-crusted halibut. The outdoor seating is comfortable and relaxed and we had a wonderful time. read more

My dad and I were looking for a brunch spot in New Canaan and ran into this gorgeous place. We were able to sit inside (really fun interior, loved the shape of the booths) and social distanced safely. Our waiter was super friendly (and super sweet) and was excellent. Major props being able to work with such kindness and service during the holidays in a pandemic! I was really impressed. The food was totally delicious. My father got the brunch special--bacon and lobster omelette. Cooked perfectly and very flavorful. I was impressed with how delicate the lobster was! However, my tuna bowl was so special. Each piece was seared to perfection (god knows we hate an overcooked piece of tuna) dressed in a pleasantly spiced sauce (I couldn't tell if it was mayonnaise based) that was creamy yet light as air. The rice and ancient grains were cooked perfectly as well, and not overdressed. The broccoli added a lovely crunch and color, dressed in a brightly acidic style. But the real winner on the plate was that hummus. Smooth textured, with flavors and a nice smokiness as an aftertaste.I could eat that hummus with a spoon all day long. I was so pleased with the umami-bomb in front of me, I ate it so slowly. We had coffee and dessert. My latte was well-made, something I've found difficult for some restaurants to really get right. My father and I split a tiramisu. The cream on top was delicious, but I found the sponge to be under-soaked, and not a lot of coffee flavor, therefore, was to be found. I did get a hit of booze from the cream, not sure what alcohol it was though. Overall, a wonderful place to eat. I hope to come back soon and eat more of that hummus!!! read more

This was such a lovely visit! Ellis was amazing! Thank you so much for such great hospitality. Can't wait to return! I had the Parmesan crusted halibut. It was delicious! Perfectly cooked, still juicy, the cheese was a great bonus. I would have liked a little more flavor out of the sautéed spinach. The mussels with fava beans! Omg the bread, I was dipping away lol! Great experience. Enjoy! read more

Decent food with good prices . We had barbabietola ( beet) with goat cheese , oven roasted chicken , osso buco & spaghetti bolognese . Chicken was cooked without being dry . The veal shank was super tender & properly flavored . What makes this place 5 starts is the server we got . Arsen went above the call of duty to make my little girls happy . He went to kitchen multiple times to get stuff off the menu for them . We will come back again . read more

Delicious! The food at sole is super delicious... the burrata appetizer was so tasty and smooth - the flavors were an incredible mix of salty and smooth. The prosciutto pizza was similar with incredible contrasting flavors. Service was decent, atmosphere was decent - high end, but more fir families than dates. read more

I dropping 3.5 stars. Came in for lunch with a girlfriend today. We ordered the same salad. However, her salad was brought to the table dazzling and I received the bogus left overs. Note, as a restaurant make sure to deliver the same portion and presentation to both patrons. -*** Kale Salad With Chicken read more

We ordered takeout recently on a busy Saturday night and the order was ready right on time. I was in a butternut squash mood, so I had the butternut squash soup, of course. Yum! Would get it again. I also had the butternut squash ravioli - a classic dish that I can never skip if it's on the menu. Really tasty! I'm sure it would be even better dining in. My husband had the pappardelle pasta with sausage and he really enjoyed it. We look forward to trying Sole in person. read more

Enjoyed a lovely lunch today at another great Z group restaurant! We had several appetizers and our entres. Started with the white bean & vegetable soup. A delicious, hot & well seasoned with beans, veggies & chicken. The Penne "Bolognese" (a meat and vegetable ragu) was quite large for a lunch portion & equally delicious! The other appetizer was a plate of Red and gold beets with whipped goat cheese - and arugula! Dare I say this app could never be large enough for me; absolutely loved it! The Chicken Chopped Salad was the other entre....Tender chicken with romaine & tomatoes topped with a tasty vinaigrette. ALL THIS DELICIOUSNESS ON THE EXPRESS MENU; Appetizer & Entre $19.00! read more

Been going to Sole for 25 years. Always a delicious meal no matter what I order. Staff is friendly and very experienced. A favorite in NC.

Nothing special about this place. Been there a few times with multiple dishes. I go to restaurants for the food, not Nestlé for the scene, yet some people think this place is a local scene. . Service is subpar ( had to wait for wine, water and water even when at the bar. Food wise from the wood fired oven to a dinner special just nothing. Price is middle of the road for a restaurant in pricey New Canaan. read more

Great little Italian spot on Elm Street in NC. Best for date night or meeting friends, not quite the right ambiance for young children. Strongly recommend the crudo to start and the pasta. The atmosphere is casual elegance or, perhaps, sprezzatura. read more

The best Italian restaurant in town! The food is great especially their seafood dishes ! The manager Felipe and his team are the best! I used to love Spiga but now sole is our favorite read more

Excellent food and excellent service every time, and I've eaten here many times. Love the crispy skin Branzino. Their bread and mild garlic hummus is also delicious with your drinks. Very good wines by the glass. read more

We were there yesterday for the first time, friend recommended, It was a rainy night, sat on the bar area, everyone talking in Spanish, drinks were expensive and prepared really poorly, food was also expensive but just average in quality. Not sure if we gonna go back. Tried to talk to the manager but he/she was not were to be found. read more

Uhhhh the food here is exquisite. I went two weeks ago on a date with my girlfriend. I can't remember what we ordered for our mains but we loved them and we are going back to try more of the menu. I will say the standout star of the night was the eggplant meatball appetizer. Out of this world! Also the staff l and I mean every staff member was delightful. Our waiter was hilarious and attentive and made our experience even more special. read more

I've been here a couple times, and both times everything was great- service, food, and ambience! Their menu is very typical of New Canaan (lots of meat/fish dishes, pizza, pasta, etc.), and they do it very well. I got the burger and I almost never eat burgers, but this one was definitely worth it. My dad got the Branzino and he loved it, and everyone enjoyed the free bread before the meal (they serve it with homemade hummus). read more

Everything was delicious (apps, entrees and cocktails too!), great service and really nice vibe.

We've been coming here for a few years now. Definitely a great spot for dinner dates or girls night out! Excellent bread & hummus combo whilst waiting for your orders to be served. Overall service is also very professional. A heads up though, the place is quite small, so it does get quite a bit loud. read more
