O Sole Mio, an authentic Italian restaurant, is located in the heart of Port Solent, where all the classics that evoke memories of cobbled Italian streets and grand cities come together. This restaurant has been serving delicious Italian food since 2009.
The ordering of antipasti dishes is always encouraged at O Sole Mio, with the idea that you will share this food with friends around the table. Choose from parma ham with mozzarella cheese, deep fried calamari rings, mushrooms in a garlic, white wine and cream sauce and traditional Sicilian arancini with bolognese and mozzarella. Pasta dishes can be ordered gluten free on request, or in half portions for children. The pasta options include penne al pomodoro and penne soralina with bacon, garlic, mushrooms, onions and butter, along with the ever popular spaghetti carbonara and spaghetti meatballs with a touch of garlic. The tortelloni alla bolognese, risotto alla marinara and gnocchi della nonna are also big hits at O Sole Mio.
There are plenty of great pizza options for those who prefer a margherita to an arrabiata, with toppings such as four cheese, tuna and olives, capers and hot chillies and of course, pepperoni. Meat and fish dishes include the chicken breast fried in garlic mushrooms, rosemary and cream, and black mussels in a tomato and white wine sauce. From the grill you can enjoy a sliced fillet steak cooked in butter with garlic, brandy, balsamic vinegar and cream, or the veal cooked in marsala liqueur demi glace and a splash of cream. If you’ve got room for dessert, don’t skip the traditional, creamy tiramisu. We certainly couldn’t say no to a slice of that!
