Parioli Italian Bistro - Solana Beach

We were alerted to a kitchen issue at 6:45 but were told we could make our concert opening at 9 p.m. Two hours later, some food showed up, overpriced and at least one was cold, probably because our server forgot the pizza order and put it in late. Expensive meals. The server was wonderful, charming and helpful but couldn 't overcome the kitchen. Also, a single man was seated at a table near ours a half hour after we were seated. He got his meal, ate his meal, got his check and was gone long before we saw any food. No explanation provided.

We had a 7pm reservation and still hadn’t been serviced by 8:30pm. With no estimate for how much longer, we cancelled our entries and found another.place to eat.

We have been coming here for 15+ years and the food was absolutely DELICIOUS as always!!!!

Unfortunately we waited over an hour for our food. All the tables that sat after us got their food first. There was a large table in the back and that was the reason we were given for our wait. The manager was nice and apologized.

Quaint Italian place with beautiful decor, delicious food, and good wine. Service was excellent. I love the original art on the walls one piece was created by the bartender. Also a great location right next door to our hotel.
