What Chris Q doesn't like about O Sole Mio 2:
My wife and I have eaten here occasionally over the years usually with friends. It used to be OK but now not so good. Again we ate here with a group of friends. The starters and sweets were good.

At this charming Italian restaurant, dining experiences vary widely. While many patrons appreciate the warm hospitality and delightful ambiance, it's clear that the food and service quality can fluctuate dramatically. Guests have praised the live music and family-friendly atmosphere, yet some have expressed disappointment with dishes lacking authenticity, claiming food sometimes tastes pre-made or overly greasy. Complaints about tough meats and inconsistent service have surfaced, alongside glowing reviews of the pasta and desserts. Despite its sunny outdoor seating and a few loyal supporters, the overall reputation remains mixed, highlighting the need for improvement to consistently delight diners.
