Italian Wine Dinner 🍷 on Wednesday, November 6. "An Evening in Umbria". 🇮🇹
We have owner & winemaker, Enzo Barbi of Enzo Barbi Estate, here to lead an epic wine dinner. 🙂
Email us to request your reservation or please call us at 619-270-9670.
I have become good friends with Enzo - and he really impressed me with his passion and knowledge of both winemaking in Umbria - and also the cuisine and history of the area. I was able to stay at his estate in April.
Exec Chef Denice Grande is designing the menu focused on Italian dishes from the region of Umbria so you can enjoy Enzo's wines with the same dishes you would have if you were in the same village as his winery.
💥 Here are the details:
November 6 Wednesday 6:30pm Reception
$91 includes the 4-course special pairing dinner and select Enzo Barbi Estate wines
Menu focused on the cuisine of Umbria and the Orvieto area (designed by Chef Denice Grande)

Do you love lobster? 🦞
We have the best San Diego local lobster (now in season!) from Tommy Gomes at Tunaville. This is fabulous:
🦞Fettuccine all’Aragosta --- Home-crafted fettuccine pasta infused with saffron, San Diego caught live half spiny lobster with lobster tail, lobster meat, touch of mascarpone cheese, garlic, sage, and juniper berries (wow!)
These are lobsters caught right here in San Diego waters. We get them from Tommy Gomes at Tunaville Market and these lobsters are likely caught very close to where we are here at Solare.
The season for commercial spiny lobster fishing just started. The lobsters caught now are plump and sweet and truly delicious. They have been growing and hanging out since the last season ended in March.
We get them fresh and we occasionally sell out. Please call us if you'd like to reserve one for you ... just in case.

Special pasta - last day of restaurant week! 😃
Solare home-made past - This dish has become a true favorite of mine. Main reason why: The smoked heirloom tomatoes are incredible!
💥 Linguini al Basilico con Pomodoro Affumicato --- House-made linguini pasta infused with basil, served with smoked heirloom cherry tomatoes, roasted garlic, and stracciatella cheese
Chef Denice Grande does not use anything like liquid smoke. We buy mesquite wood and smoke them ourselves the natural way. Huge difference!
And then there is the home-made pasta that is hand cut. Wow!! And infused with basil. And the stracciatella cheese!
You'll love this! 🇮🇹🔆🇮🇹
