Sole Mare

Frommer's Review

This is our top choice for elegant and stylish dining along Cable Beach, and it also serves the island's best northern Italian cuisine. The chefs are well-trained, intuitive, and inventive, as shown by intensely creative dishes that crop up at regular intervals such as lobster macaroni paired with an herb-infused version of lamb-loin souvlakia, or deep-fried calamari stuffed with fresh herbs and feta cheese. The fresh fish of the day is the keynote of many a delectable meal here. A number of other ingredients have to be imported from the U.S., but the chefs still work their magic with them. A meal might begin with Castilian-style garlic soup, or jumbo shrimp sautéed in ouzo, and reach a high point with either a piperade (Basque stew) of lobster or a filet of halibut prepared lyonnaise style with cream, minced onions, and scalloped potatoes. The restaurant offers three flavors of dessert soufflés: The one we prefer is prepared with sweet Marsala wine and fresh strawberries.
