Sole Ristorante Italiano

They treat diners like family with homemade pastas and desserts.

Sole Ristorante Italiano keeps the appeal of an Italian meal in the details of its pasta and sauces. On the San Mateo menu, homemade tagliolini comes with prawns, tomato, and arugula in a garlic white-wine sauce. We like how that combination offers a different direction from the richer sedanini, which pairs small pasta tubes with Italian sausage, mushrooms, and tomato cream sauce. Chicken Marsala adds another comforting option, with mushrooms, Marsala wine, and a touch of cream. The Trevisana salad brings contrast through radicchio, arugula, walnuts, fruit, and gorgonzola with balsamic vinaigrette. Together, these dishes suggest a meal that can move from a varied salad to seafood pasta or a heartier entrée. Sole's appeal is its approachable Italian selection and the distinct combinations that give familiar pasta, chicken, and salad dishes their own character.
