Think of il Solé Restaurant and Wine Bar as an Italian Gem. We capture the flavors and earthly character of the Mediterranean, where food is tied to nature and to the seasons. We offer food reminiscent of lush Tuscany and of the California wine regions. We use the finest ingredients that reflect the earth, the sun, and the sea.

Il Sole is an unassuming restaurant with a casually chic ambiance that is timeless and original. Our goal is to alter the fine dining experience in Dallas by keeping our food simple, our ingredients fresh, and your visit memorable.

Main Dish The wine selections flatter executive Chef Matt Bodnars' memorable dishes. Such starters as pan-fried calamari with a zesty red chile sauce and cilantro oil, steamed mussels embellished with spinach and peppers in a soothing white wine broth, spicy shrimp bisque with crispy Gulf shrimp and Italian parsley croutons, and carpaccio of beef are reminiscent of the heart and soul of rustic Provencal cooking.

The concept for il Solé resulted from the Blacks' travels through the wine regions of Italy, France, and California. The Blacks' have a 3,000-bottle wine collection, and they feature wine flights in addition to special wine tastings.
