Over a Decade in Southampton
A Mediterranean Soul in the Heart of Southampton
Family-run, opposite the Mayflower Theatre since 2015. George cooks Italian with a Greek soul: seafood chosen that morning, pasta pulled by hand, specials on the board by the time you sit down.
Where Greek Heritage Meets Italian Craft
George and Dominika Jiojioras bring a lifetime of Mediterranean passion to every plate. With roots in Greece and a deep love for Italian cuisine, George's kitchen is where tradition meets creativity, from hand-rolled pasta to the freshest seafood, each dish tells a story.
Pre-Theatre Dining
Steps from the Mayflower Theatre
Perfectly positioned opposite Southampton's iconic Mayflower Theatre, Soleto is the ideal setting for a memorable evening. Enjoy a leisurely Italian meal before the curtain rises, or continue the night with us after the show.

“The food was amazing, heavenly soft ciabatta with pesto, sauce in seafood pasta was delicious and one of the best tiramisu we've had in the UK.”

“Food was absolutely fantastic. At the end of our meal George spoke to us so friendly, not knowing he's the owner! Thanks to you all for a very special evening.”
