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.

My husband and I dined at Sole Mio for the first time on 02/15/09 after a last-minute change in dining plans. Being a local, I have heard quiet rumors for years about the good food being offered here, but I was still pleasantly surprised. My husband and I both love Italian food, but are in no way "experts". Luckily, the people at Sole Mio ARE! I was a little worried at first, because they were still offering a limited menu for the Valentine's weekend. We went with the dinner for two special and left it in their hands. As soon as we saw the antipasto platter, we relaxed and knew we were in for a treat. We couldn't believe the variety it offered. Every course was perfectly seasoned (and I was freaked out because of no salt and pepper on the table!), proportioned, and presented! The attention from the staff was a nice, warm touch and a welcome change. JJ was our server, and she did a wonderful job of being attentive without hovering...Thanks, JJ! The other great bonus was the easy and ample parking. Often the hassle of finding,parking and walking deters me from eating downtown, but this place is super simple. Also, the price is not bad. The dinner special we had was $92 and had choice of appetizer (see above), included two entrees to split (generous), and two desserts-FULL desserts and non-alcoholic drinks. Can't wait to go back and try full menu!

Pros: food, service, parking

Cons: tables a little small and close

My wife and I dined at Sole Mio on New's Eve before returning to Chattanooga after she had been out of town. The resturant was very easy to find (from the airport); and parking was a snap. We didn't have to wait long before being seated by a window (I had been told to request). Our waiter was full of fun and was very attentive. The bread and water came out promptly. Our orders were taken and the "condensed menu" was loaded with a full range of choices. Our appetizers were plentiful and our entrees yummy. We gave the whole expeience a "10". We will dine there again. Thank you.

Pros: Quality of the food. Parking. Wait staff.

Cons: Noisy
