We first visited this restaurant in 2012. Have been back several times since. Very small - seats maybe 40? Nice decor! A bit noisy when the house is full! Operated by husband and wife. Food is excellent and reasonably priced - husband is the chef. Franca, the wife is in control! They have from time to time some very nice... More

When the hostess tries to tell you that the veal dish you ordered is veal when in fact it was chicken, you know they are only out to try to sell a meal & will not acknowledge they're wrong. I wasn't born yesterday & have eaten in many fine dining Italian restaurants, this was an insult. Never again.

My girlfriend and I made reservations at Solorzano's for the evening of April 12. We were not disappointed from the moment we walked in the door. Solorzano's is a family-owned restaurant. The owners Frankie (Hostess) and Carlos (who prepares the delicious meals) make sure you are well taken care of from the moment you walk in the door. Frankie led... More

This is a special place. The menu is excellent, the bread is like nothing you've had before, and the service is second to none. This was our third visit and we've enjoyed it more everytime. The owners run the show, with the husband cooking and the wife making sure every guest is treated with a personalized touch that you don't... More

Yes! They're in Florida, but they're from Hoboken NJ. And you can tell the minute you put a slice of heaven in your mouth! All the dishes I've had from Solorzano's were excellent! You won't be disappointed!

We had dinner at Solorzano's and it was delicious. I really liked the Spaghetti Bolognese. The atmosphere was delightful and very fun! We will definitely go back.

Our group from NJ went to this restaurant based on a recommendation and we were sure glad we did! Everything was wonderful - food was delicious (and plentiful), very friendly owners, attentive wait staff and an atmosphere that made us feel right at home. If it were closer to home, we would all be frequent diners! Our next visit to... More

It wasn't our idea of a wonderful Italian meal but the entertainment provided by the female singer, the singing owner/chef and the attitude of the primary waitress/owner made the evening memorable. Don't go for the food but enjoy the attitudes.

Went here with some friends for great Italian Food and we were not disappointed. A quaint little place. Everything was excellent and the service superb. Owners are there and anxious to make your meal memorable. In fact if you don't see exactly what you would like; just ask, and they will try to accommodate you. The interesting aspect of this... More

Our family very much enjoyed our first experience at Solorzano's. We did not have a reservation and it was quite a busy night. The service led by Franca the owner was outstanding. She made our family feel very welcome, especially our young children. The pasta was excellent! Appetizers were very enjoyable, especially the burrata. Solid wine list. We will be... More
