Il Sol has been around Newtown before La Stalla, before Dolce Carini, and well, before many of the too many italian restaurants in Newtown. Yet it still gets business, just not as much as it once did. Most of the things about this restaurant stand in the average/good category. Besides far too many chipped plates, and a leak from the waterfall up front, this place is a great local restaurant which too many take for granted and find themselves at places such as La Stalla, waiting a hour and a half to be seated. I fear that the next major blockbuster Italian restaurant that opens in Newtown may bring Il Sol to a nonexistance.
