    Carrots and polenta
    Kristina M.

    Our friend Lex discovered this place on IG and we decided we would check it out before a double date night for a movie. It was a Saturday evening and apparently it's best if you have reservations. There were plenty of seats open when we arrived and the vibe given from the host was as if she didn't want to seat us. Once we were seated, others seated after us were asked what they wanted to drink and had the opportunity to order an appetizer. I'm not sure what this was about but we eventually were acknowledged and were able to place our drink and food order. The best thing I got was a cocktail for $9 which contained Mexican coke and red wine. It was delicious! Our table was not impressed with the price for the fries and asparagus. We also didn't care for the pickle plate. The pizza was good. The carrots and polenta plate I got seemed overpriced. There was parking out front and this place was easy to get to. No one ordered food outside but between the indoor and outdoor seating, there's plenty of spots to enjoy a decent meal and beautiful ambiance. I'd like to go back to try different drinks and see if their menu will change. If I go back I'll make sure to make a reservation as it seemed like the staff preferred this.

    Chicago Tavern Pizza

    The food here was excellent and it is definitely worth trying! All the pizzas were super tasty and they came out very quickly. The outdoor area is also really cool! The only downside was they had closed the kitchen without letting us know, we wanted to order another pizza but were unable to. Overall great experience otherwise and would go back again!

    Chicago Tavern-style pizza

    Shortly after moving to Sac, I had learned first-hand that Sac has strong pizza game! My first job being at a small, local pizza place helped cement my decision to try all the great pizza that the Greater Sacramento area has to offer. Solimar is definitely one of the few talked about vying for that #1 spot! Solimar's crust and airiness is what I dream of when I crave PIZZA. This was my second outing here, and unfortunately the crust came out a little too char char imo. Didn't care, still ate it haha It was my first time trying their take on the Chicago tavern-style and it was decent, but again a bit too much char. The menu description says burnt cheese but this was a bit much. Also I would've like a little more rise on the crust. I've lived in Chicago and have a strong love for both deep dish and tavern-style. I'd probably try again next time to see how it turns out.

    Spumoni cake

    I was so excited to try the newest gem in Oak Park by the talented team behind Faria Bakery. Their slow pizza is made with fresh, clean ingredients and a fluffy-yet-thin crust that screams farm to fork! Truly appreciate how fresh all ingredients are. They add a unique twist to their whole pizza by giving you scissors to cut your pizza slices however you like. However if you're craving a greasy traditional pizza this might not be your spot. I wanted to try their Chicago tavern but was sold out on a Friday night. The vibes here are perfect for a cozy date night. Think dim lighting, candles on every table, and a menu full of delicious bites. It's simple, romantic, and totally worth a visit. The Solimar Dessert was a showstopper in presentation, with great icing and flavor, but the cake itself was a tad dry for my taste. This would be the biggest area of improvement on my end but still worth a try if you're a dessert lover. I would definitely be back and would love to see how they grow as a restaurant. What we tried: * Bread & Butter * Cucumber Salad * Pistachio & Rosemary Pizza * Garlic Potato Pizza * Sausage, Confit Tomato & Ricotta Pizza * Spumoni Cake Overall review: 3.7

    One of every dessert

    Solimar is one of my favorite pizza spots in town! You can tell they use the most local, seasonal ingredients in everything they make. The restaurant interior is super cute and well decorated, and their outdoor seating is spacious and so nice on a warm summer evening. The workers there and at faria are very kind and attentive. They always strike up a conversation and didn't rush us when we stayed a little past closing. I also love their BOGO slice on Wednesdays when you bring a friend!

    Sausage pizza
    Julie S.

    Having been long time fans of Faria, we were excited to try their restaurant next door. We were not disappointed. Everything we tried there hit it out of the park in terms of flavor, creativity, and freshness. Our server was awesome. She explained the menu and was attentive to our needs throughout the evening. We tried the roasted carrots with polenta, beets with buttermilk, and the sausage pizza. I had a glass, ok maybe two, of the chilled Lambrusco. I loved it! The ambience in the restaurant is cute and hip. We would definitely return to try some of their other offerings.

    My understanding is that Faria opened this pizza restaurant, thus I had high hopes for this place (and it certainly is an improvement to the mediocre pizza place here before it). Solimar really shines in it's farm to table style pizzas with fresh and interesting ingredients. Very nice interior though some areas like the bathroom are far from finished. I hope it does well as I am a big fan of revitalizing Oak Park. Nonetheless, areas for improvement include it's not-good-at-all Chicago "Tavern" style pizza. It was burnt a decent amount and, even if not burned, was not much like true Chicago Tavern style at all (I am a born and raised Chicagoan). The cake dessert was also on the dryer side. Hope the place continues to improve and worth a visit!

    Cucumber appetizer
    Corinna R.

    New pizza place from the creators of Faria. We got three pizzas and some appetizers to share and loved the Margarita the most! We will definitely be back for this one. Wednesdays does have BOGO slice night, but we got there too late (it stops at 7).

    Beets
    Nicol D.

    The beets & buttermilk: roasted, salted, & pickled beets in light herb buttermilk vinaigrette to die for, the dressing was so good! I wanted to put it on everything. The spinanch tortellini & broth semolina pasta dough with housemade ricotta, nasturtium flowers, & basil oil - so simple yet delicious! I would go back just for this! Sausage pizza: red sauce, mozza, onion relish, ricotta, pickled fennel - I liked the pizza but wasn't a huge fan of the ricotta and pickled fennel. If I ordered again, I would hold those items. The crust was delicious, but left me wanting some spicy oil to add that kick. My wife got slices of the vegan pizza and cheese. Both weee delicious, the vegan was super spicy which I loved and wished it had translated to the sausage pizza. We finished it off with tiramisu, which they say is the best. I have to agree, it was massive and very very good! Super smooth and flavorful. I had 2 glasses of wine, each $21 - a bit of a high price point for wine, but it was good. Overall, great new place and would go back!

    Fig Pizza
    Sibel A.

    I have been a longtime Faria Bakery Lover (i honestly think it is the best bakery in town) SO I WAS SO EXCITED TO WHEN I FOUND OUT ABOUT SOLIMAR! Solimar did not disappoint my very very high expectations! I love the indoor/ outdoor seating options because both are very comfortable for smaller or larger groups. We had nonalcoholic drink: the fizzy lemonade and Mexican Sprite (the liquor license is coming soon!) For mains, we got three pizzas: Carnitas Pizza, Potato Corn Pepper Pizza, and Fig Pizza! The Carnitas Pizza was my favorite because of the fried beans on top with the chili oil butter. All of the pizzas have an amazing crust (I think they use a version of their miso sourdough base)! Moving to dessert, I consumed the BEST TIRAMISU OF MY ENTIRE LIFE! I mean the so sincerely because it was better than tiramisu from Italy, and the Grove. I will definitely be returning and ordering tiramisu for my birthday!

    Sam A.

    I was skeptical about $27 pizza. But let me tell you, Worth. Every. Penny. The fig and burrata pizza was my favorite, everyone also really loved the grape pizza. The corn potato pizza was also amazing. The 6 of us shared 3 pizzas and left very satisfied. The outside area is large and nice. The inside is sleek and nice. The pizza isn't quite thin or thick crust, it's a really nice chunky sourdough. Can't wait to go back.

    Fried squash
    Nora J.

    10/10!! Everything was absolutely divine - from the ambiance, the service, the wine, and the food. We ordered a few appetizers to share, including the Chicago pizza, fried squash, and bread and butter. So so tasty, and we were impressed down to the butter served with the bread. My main course was the lasagna, which was heavenly and served with a fresh mini baguette. The lasagna had some unique twists, including a base of what tasted almost like scalloped potatoes. The portions were perfect and we had leftovers to take home. Excited to come back when the weather starts warming up to enjoy the outside patio.

    Hard to see that sausage... but gooey ricotta
    Bonnie C.

    So glad Faria folks took this over. Seems like I think about going & its closed-- only open weekends beginning Thursday. We did take-out & got the 12 in sausage-ricotta pizza. I love their sourdough crust to begin with. Flavors of each ingredient came through-- delicious ricotta, yummy baked garlic and sausage. My criticism is they were stingy with sausage-/ barely tasted it. In a sausage pizza, you need to have a good amount of sausage!! My husband liked how they redid the space, tho he said it was bit cold (temperature wise). We will be back-- and go early like we did for takeout

    Super cool pizza spot!…read more So first off the name alone was what sold us! The restaurant is pretty small but gives a cool cozy feel to it. The staff were super nice and helpful! And super welcoming. They serve alcohol here so perfect spot for a drink and a slice! The pizza was so good! They offer a lot of different kinds of pizza but we went with a pepperoni pizza. Super good and tasty! The pizza is a little more on the oily side but i suspect it's from the amount of pepperoni, which I'm not complaining about I love a good pepperoni pizza! Especially when they don't shy away from the pepperoni. Also ordered some truffle fry's and I'm personally not a fan of but if you're a fan of truffle that will be right up your alley! I will say the fry's were not soggy at all and had a great crisp to them and stayed having that crisp so that was really nice. All in all will be back here for some more pizza and to try some other stuff on their menu! Great spot, great people and great food Would highly recommend!

Nice They have seating outside in front on the sidewalk. Also some outside dinning in the back of the place. You order first from the counter and then find a place to sit down and eat.

Also you can order a pizza half one topping and the other another topping which was what we went with. We got the regular combo and the vegetarian the other half. I got a table at the top in the back. The table was a little dirty and had not been wiped down. Had to do it ourselves. The manager was across from us but didn't say anything along with another worker. Oh well. It wasn't very busy inside. They had a couple of people on the outside tables and two tables taken inside. Pretty empty otherwise. The lady told us that it would be 22 minutes for our pizza to be ready. I think we got it in 20. These are not the traditional round type. They are square and a good size to. It was 44 bucks for this pizza since we had water to drink. They crust was the best part. Nice an crispy. The vegetarian was not bad. I Liked it . The Combo was just adding salami and pepperoni. It was alright. I liked the veggi better. A lot of my wife's friends said they really liked this place. I thought it was nice but the drive from Elk Grove was a bit for this pizza. Which I thought was just ok. At least we tried it. Not bad. If I was in the area then yes.

    La Porta Came here…read moreon a Saturday for a friend's birthday with a large group of 17, and we didn't have reservations--so we knew it might be a bit of a challenge. At the time, they had one cook and a manager who was also acting as the bartender and server for the whole floor. You could tell he was a little nervous at first with such a big party, but honestly, he handled it really well. He was friendly, energetic, and super transparent about what they were out of since everything is made fresh. He also did a great job explaining the dishes and cocktails, which we appreciated. Our group was pretty easygoing, and overall the experience felt fun and relaxed. The food came out looking (and tasting) amazing across the board. I ordered the gluten-free hot honey pizza, and it was a standout--perfect crust, nice balance of sweet and heat, and loaded with cheese, pepperoni, and sausage. Definitely a win. One of my friends also ordered gluten-free and tried the pesto chicken pizza. Unfortunately, that one missed the mark--the chicken was overcooked, the pesto flavor was off, and the pizza itself was a bit bland. However, when she mentioned it, the server immediately made it right by remaking her pizza and not charging for it, which we really appreciated. The space itself has a great vibe--cute aesthetics and it sounds like they host events during the week like DJs and art nights, which is a fun touch. Parking can be a little tricky since it's on a busy intersection, but manageable. Overall, a really solid experience, especially considering our group size and no reservation. I'd definitely come back and would love to see gluten-free pasta options added in the future!

But it was amazing- this restaurant has so much potential to be sold out 7 nights a week!

We also got the "Fun Guy" pizza to share and made the mistake of removing the goat cheese, which I think hurt it.

He also helped my grandma find something on the menu that wouldn't be too carb heavy since she is diabetic. He was pleasant all around, he was patient with my grandma all night and made me feel like he truly valued our time and didn't rush us.

The sauce has a flavor like no other pasta I've ever had it's rich but not too rich creamy but not too creamy and the thing that sets it apart from other creamy pastas is the subtle Cajun flavor. It tastes a bit like old bay and Tabasco to me with some other amazing things in it I'm sure but it was delicious 9/10 My grandma likes to order a lot of things for the table because she never got to have that so she ordered a bunch of things for herself to try and for me to finish.

I'm hoping next time to try the polenta fries. Then for her main course my grandma had the wedge salad which she loved but she did mention she wished it had lots more bacon and I can't blame because I too always want more bacon on things. All in all it was a great experience and I will be back very soon.
