Sole Mare

We never go to Aruba without a stop at Sole Mare anymore. The first time we all ate so fast we laughed at ourselves- we just couldn't stop. The pasta was wonderful. The music soft, the atmosphere warm and inviting. I can't wait until June and we get to Aruba again. Our Cab driver was right.

We went back. It was better than before. Everett took control of the parmesan wheel and it was the best pasta most of us have ever tasted. I had the carribean lobster (enough for four). Maine has alot of catching up to do. The group went back for the veal (they would eat it tomorrow, as well). Everett also helped us with two great wines. Chile does well. We will be back next week. I think of the many places we have gone, this is the best.

We picked the worst day to go: the Saturday after New Year's. We walked from church and saw the place (no reservation). They were crowded but still accomodated a party of 4. We had the best veal parm. The risotto with seafood was excellent. It was a very pleasant surprise and the group would like to go again before we leave. We watched the pasta being made on on the parmesan wheel and it looked amazing. Prompt and attentive service by multiple servers. Well done.

Got carry out, so really can only comment on the food.

Fantastic!!!! I had the veal parm, which was melt in your mouth tender and wonderful. 3 huge pieces with pasta for $30. Had lunch the next day and could not have been happier.

Wife had pasta with seafood in a white wine sauce - again, a ton of food for the $30 price. Plenty of calamari, clams, shrimp, and mussels in a delicious sauce. Plenty for dinner and lunch the next day, plus a little extra for me.

This will be a repeat visit on every trip.

Had a very nice dinner here. I ordered the Shrimp with hot sauce which was a nice sized portion and very good. Everyone was very nice and the service was good as well. Was a very nice night out.

We were a party of 12 service was very good food was mediocre at best we all had entrees, appetizers were split and desserts which all consisted of mainly ice cream and were split, very little alcohol and it cost $100/pp. There are better choices on the island for $100/pp. I had shrimp scampi it came swimming in sauce. 3 people ordered the tortellini special that came too mushy to eat. At $100/pp they should know when tortellini are done.

Our first visit to Aruba in 11 years. This restaurant was great. The kids loved it so much we went twice and enjoyed it. Price is reasonable, similar to NY prices.

I recommend this to anyone who wants a great italian dinner.

Our meal was nice, the special pasta in the cheese wheel a unique choice. The staff was polite and responsive. The decor was nothing special and verged on being tacky. In Aruba you expect more and certainly something special. Unfortunately, there was a large, very loud party going on in the same room with us and it made conversation impossible. Also, the singing guitar player was awful. Definitely NOT a return visit candidate.

This is my faveourite resturant in Aruba by far!

I've been going to Aruba for the last 13 years, and have enjoyed Sol de Mar every time I go.

I order Penne ala Vodka [ even though it is not on the menu, it has never been a problem to order ]

I have gone with my family, including small children, and they have always been accomidating.

We eat here everytime we go to Aruba, I still love it. We had the minestrone soup, Pasta Fagioli it was terrific.
My husband and daughter split the pasta in the cheese wheel it was excellent. My other daughter had the fusilli de vodka terrific dish. I had the chicken Marsala I still love this place the service was great although it didn't appear to be as busy as the last time we were there. I think Gianni's is taking a lot away from them it is in a great location right on palm beach. Overall its still an excellent restaurant.
