Solare means “sunny” in Italian; what a great way to connect San Diego’s laid-back, outdoor lifestyle with the warmth of Italian hospitality. I recently had a date night at Solare, and I will be honest, I had no idea what to expect. Solare Ristorante Italiano Bar & Lounge is located on the beautiful grounds of Liberty Station, right around the corner from the Cygnet Theater. When we arrived at Solare, Georgia, our host greeted us with a friendly smile and took us to our table. Just a quick but important interjection: Tommy runs Solare with his father and his brother.
