Sole Mare

Frommer's Review

This is our top choice for elegant and stylish dining along Cable Beach, and it also serves the best Northern Italian cuisine on New Providence Island. 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 on a main-course platter with an herb-infused version of lamb-loin souvlaki, or deep-fried calamari stuffed with a mixture of fresh herbs and feta cheese. The fresh fish of the day is the keynote of many a delectable meal here. Many of the other ingredients have to be imported from the mainland, 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. Veal also appears rather delectably sautéed with endive, a dish you might enjoy in an upmarket tavern in northern Italy. The restaurant offers three different flavors of dessert soufflés: The one we prefer is the version prepared with sweet Marsala wine and fresh strawberries.
