George Jiojioras, Chef & Co-Owner
Where Greek heritage meets Italian craft.
George and Dominika opened Soleto in 2017. We've been a family table ever since, with George at the stove and Dom on the floor. Lobster, scallops and pasta we'd cook for our own family on a Sunday afternoon.
A stone’s throw from the Mayflower. A long evening, taken slowly, before the lights go down.
Every dish here is a masterpiece. Soleto instantly transports you with its charming and vintage decor.
“A gorgeous spot for a pre-theatre meal. Amazing atmosphere, attentive service and the best Italian food I have ever had.”

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

“Heavenly soft ciabatta with pesto, sauce in seafood pasta was delicious, and one of the best tiramisu we have had in the UK.”
