Italian waterfront dining in Solomons Island at the Patuxent River, La Vela brings handcrafted pasta, wood-fired preparations, and genuine Italian hospitality to a community that usually looks to the Bay for its flavors. The waterfront setting remains; the kitchen pivots to Italy for inspiration. A welcome addition to a dining scene dominated by crab houses and dock bars, and a natural choice when Solomons warrants something genuinely different.
There are more like it in the Chesapeake Bay beach bar guide.
