Dining room at Il Sole, West Hollywood, CAJust down the street from the Sunset Plaza outdoor-café madness, Il Sole delivers authentic Northern Italian food in a serene, antique- and art-filled setting. A hip clientele drawn by the owners (a music manager, film producer and rock concert promoter) likes to savor the cuisine. A classical Italian menu is composed of soups (minestrone), antipasti (burrata on a bed of tomatoes), salads (baby mixed greens with goat cheese), risotto, pasta (homemade spinach-and-ricotta ravioli), fish (ahi) and meat (rack of veal). For the sweet note, the obligatory tiramisu is a good choice, along with the panna cotta. A meal at Il Sole (the sun) is definitely a little sunshine in our busy lives.

IL - WASTE OF TIME!!!!
by LAFOODIE on 07/02/2008
 
I made reservations for dinner (4 guests) a couple of days ago and requested for patio dining. The request was confirmed via email and also I personally confirmed the reservation by phone last night and was not given any warning of what i was going to hear on the day of the event We arrived at Il Sole today at 615pm to celebrate my husbands birthday and to my DISAPPOINTMENT, I was told that we can only eat at the confirmed patio reservation for 1 hour and 15 minutes!!!!!! how can one enjoy a birthday celebration with appetizers, drinks, main course, dessert and coffee in an hour and 15 minutes????? It was a complete waste of time! they should include in their website or when they confirm requests that you are only allowed to have the table for an hour and 15 minutes. IL RUSH????? we went to AGO instead and had a wonderful time. Spent $350.00 at Ago but well worth it.
