Diner Reviews

"Love this place! Got my favorite waitress, Erin. We were seated by the fireplace which was nice as it was a cold night. My husband and I had great Chilean Sea Bass with a lovely sauce. My parents loved their meals and the ambiance. Being senior citizens they are fussy about restaurants that are comfortable, not too noisy, and good food. We've taken my parents here a few times now and they are always delighted with the whole experience. The seafood options are fantastic!"

"Went there for dinner and they seated us right away (we had reservations). People were very friendly and attentive. Food was AMAZING. Lots of authentic dishes to choose from. Next day I suggested to my wife, Lucia, to take her parents for brunch and they LOVED it. Lots to choose from and again she said food was delicious. Thanks for a great experience. We will be back again for sure."

"We tried Sole Mio because we live in Woodbury and have seen it a number of times, always wanting to try it. It hasn't been around for a long time, but it brings a bit of life to the quiet strip mall off of Valley Creek Dr. The true gem here is the food. They had a delightful butter that came with the bread, and I don't know if it was tomato or peppers, but it was delicious. We had bruschetta to start, and it was a small-ish portion, but adequate. If it had been any larger, I wouldn't have had room for the star of the evening- crab ravioli. This was, hands down, the most delicious food I have ever eaten. Not fishy, just creamy and delightful. Again, it was a smaller portion, but I was stuffed at the end of the meal. Bravo, grazie!"

"Way too loud. Bad service. Always have to ask for refill. Food took over an hour to get. Horrible Caesar salad. Pasta was great, shrimp scampi was amazing."

"Me and my fiancé went for valentines day.. I got a gift certificate from there to use so that's why we chose, I also looked online and heard the cook was amazing. But I wouldn't call it that. I wasn't impressed and neither was my fiancé. His steak took over 45 mins to cook, not sure if that's because that was their special for he night or what. I got ravioli, it was okay. I was hoping moor more pasta choices since it's an Italian restaurant. The waitress didn't really check up on us and it wasn't that busy. I am also a waitress so I sometimes can be to critically. The ambience was great. Had a great wine menu. But I would of chosen a different place to go to. I wouldn't go back."

"I found your placeon the internet looking for a new place for valentines day. Have never been there, nor even heard of it so i took a chance and booked it there. When we pulled up i wasn't exactly sure what i had gotten myself into bieng it is in a strip mall. But i was very pleasantly suprised once we went inside. The ambience was very good, the server was very nice and helpful, and the food was excellent. Will definately be going back in the near future and will be telling our friends about it."

"We enjoyed a Valentine's dinner at Sole Mio and it was a great experience. I liked that they offered both a special Valentine's menu and their regular menu. Being that we don't drink and weren't necessarily saving room for dessert, the regular menu suited our taste better. The food was delicious and hot and the service was excellent. I would say we started to feel a tiny bit rushed toward the end as I know they had tables triple booked (the server dropped that hint) but overall it was a fine evening. The bread and butter served prior to the meal was good although I thought the bread was a little plain. The entrees were delicious. The side salad was "regular" - nothing special but good. Overall a great evening and we'll be back!"

"We chose this for our Valentine's night out and were not disappointed. Great food, lovely ambience, amst most importantly we did not feel rushed through our dinner."

"I've heard of Sole Mio and have read multiple reviews that I generally take with a grain of salt, so I thought I'd give it a shot. We had a simply wonderful experience. The food is excellent and the servers are not only knowledgeable, but do obviously care about the guest. Having read previous OT reviews, I was curious about wine pricing and pours. Their list is very solid with what I see as great value. The glass is a nice 16 oz goblet and they pour 6-7 oz. So when I see other reviewers talk about $10 for a glass that is "not even half full", as an experienced diner, I take exception. Most of their wines by the glass would be $1-$4 more expensive at other Woodbury restaurants or downtown. Keep doing what your doing Sole Mio! I'm in!"

"I was not expecting this. A family style restaurant in a strip mall. My wife and I are both foodies and upon walking in we were afraid that we were in for "Chef Boyardee" quality. But we were very impressed with food quality and there are a few worthy Italian wines on the list as well! So we called this a WIN! There is nothing romantic or classy here. Kids are prevalent and you sit in a large room with many tables and no linen. But the food is worthwhile even for foodies. This restaurant is tough to rate. Great food, good wine list, but the atmosphere is between Old Country Buffet and Olive Garden. Want great Italian food? Go here and check it out for yourself. You will be very surprised! The staff and chef are very friendly! We'll go back!"

"Good food at fair prices. I wouldn't give it over 4 stars, but I would definitely go again!"

"Being from the East Coast, I really value good Italian food. It's hard to find a decent Italian restaurant in the Twin Cities. O Sole Mio did not disappoint. Tasty dishes and good service. The chicken Marsala was delicious. My daughters had pizzas - very good. We also ordered chicken parmesan. All really good! My only complaint is that I believe $10.00 for a very small glass of red wine seems a bit steep."

"All four of our meals were very good. I was pleasantly surprised that they didn't skimp on the fish in the seafood cannelloni and had enough for two meals."

"I had heard that Sole Mio was a nice place to dine with good food. So when I was trying to think of a restaurant to go that was close to home, I decided to give it a try. I made reservations for 7:15. We were a few minutes late but they had a table ready for us right by the fireplace in under ten minutes. Our server was very proficient and great at making suggestions. The food came in a reasonable amount of time and it was fantastic! We were there celebrating my boyfriend birthday and the waitress offered to take our picture in front of the fireplace. Everything was wonderful. It isn't very often that we truly enjoy every part of our dining experiences. Do you be able to say we loved it and we will go back is quite a surprise for us!"

"This was my third time dining at Sole Mio and it was better than ever. The food was excellent and the mood was lively, although not so loud that we couldn't hear each other talk. Prices are very reasonable for the quality of the food - I will definitely be going back."

"My steak was so amazing. The food was good all around and the prices were good for the amount and quality of food. Would go back for sure and bring friends."

"Sole Mio has a very nice variety of foods on their menu, from traditional pasta dishes to steak and seafood. The quality of food and presentation are excellent. Server was very courteous and attentive. The restaurant has a very attractive bar area with good service, so come early for a cocktail. They have a very good selection of wines. The dining area has a beautiful decor and ambience. By far the best Italian restaurant in the Woodbury area!"

"My wife and I dined here for her birthday and enjoyed our food. The only critique would be that the calamari was flavorless and chewy. As for our entré's they were very good."

"Great food and great service - exceeded our high expectations. Love it when Chef Angelo visits our table to welcome us and make us laugh. The entire wait staff was fantastic. We felt welcomed, loved, and cared for (and well-fed)."

"This was our third time at Sole Mio and the first for two couples we met there. It was very very busy and really loud especially for a Tuesday night. Our server said it seemed more like a weekend. The service was very slow. We were not even approached by the server until at least 20 minutes after we were seated. She was very good and helpful when we did order but it was obvious she was very overwhelmed. The food was excellent though so I was happy that the other four first time diners had great food even if the service wasn't very good."

"This large dining room can be crowed on a Saturday night or for the Sunday buffet. I made a reservation on-line which was easy to do, but unnecessary on a Saturday lunch. It was quiet time to talk with another couple. I like to try different items at this restaurant, so I had the shrimp scampi as an entree. I had the pouched pear gorgonzola salad as a $2.00 add on. I love that salad. My husband had the Sicilian Sausage Sandwich and the Sicilian sausage soup. He loves the Italian sausages. He also ordered the Chocolate Lava Cake which of course was delicious. Our friends had shrimp scampi appetizer, Chicken Marsala, and Fett. Bolognese and Creme Brulle. All were excellent."

"I'm originally from Chicago, so my expectations of Italian food are very high. This place isn't bad, but not sure if I would recommend it to a friend. I would consider coming back though."
Dined on 11/15/2013
"Sole Mio, an Italian-themed restaurant in western Woodbury is what we've been waiting for since moving here in 2001. The chef-owner, Angelo Montes has created a menu of first and second courses that have a sense of authenticity not found in the chain eateries that profess to serve Italian food. Beyond the wonderfully prepared food, we found the service to be very attentive without the irritating 'hovering' so often encountered. The atmosphere tended to be a little noiser than we would have liked, but this was Saturday evening and the crowded restaurant gives us hope that business is good and the place will survive where others have failed. We need more cafes like Sole Mio in the Eastern suburbs."

"Servers Robin and John are outstanding. Food is awesome."
Dined on 11/3/2013
"What a delightful place! Found "Italian" restaurant on the web, made reservation, and 45 minutes later we were enjoying an appetizer. Gorgonzola/ pear salad was delightful, my husband's beef medallions rivaled those at Murray's, and our server's suggestion of the Marsala Ravioli was outstanding! What a hidden gem! :)"

"Angelo and his staff are very friendly and the appetizer, wine and meals are excellent."

"Food & service were oustanding. We have been there four times so far. I have tried something different on the menu each time and have never been disappointed. We wll definitely be going back!"
Dined on 10/19/2013
"I order chicken marsala every time we go out for Italian, this was BY FAR the best I've ever had - even better than when I had it in Florence, Italy! The Chef, Angelo, stopped by to chat with us, his Sicilian accent was adorable, he was friendly and welcoming - we definitely felt the genuine Italian warmth, and hospitality. This is the real deal if you are looking for authentic Italian food, delicious wine and spirits (limoncello!), and divine desserts. We will definitely become regulars of this establishment!"

"The west side of Woodbury has been longing for a fine dining restaurant and Sole Mio is a fabulous addition to our neighborhood. The food is excellent, the bar is fun, the staff are knowledgeable, efficient and attentive, and the owners/chef treat everyone like family!"
