The Jiojioras Family

Our Story

From Greece, With Love

Where Heritage Meets the Table

Soleto is more than a restaurant — it's a family's love letter to the Mediterranean. Born from Greek roots and shaped by a deep reverence for Italian cuisine, every dish we serve carries the warmth of tradition and the spark of something personal.

Head Chef

George Jiojioras

George's journey began in the kitchens of Greece, where food was never just sustenance — it was the centre of family life. Growing up surrounded by the aromas of fresh herbs, grilled seafood, and slow-cooked stews, he developed an instinctive understanding of Mediterranean flavours.

His passion led him to Italy, where he immersed himself in the art of Italian cooking — learning to craft pasta by hand, master the delicate balance of a perfect risotto, and source the finest ingredients with uncompromising care.

Today at Soleto, George brings all of this together. His kitchen is one where Greek soul meets Italian precision, and where every plate is prepared with the same love and attention he learned at his family's table.

The Kitchen

Craft and Passion

Our kitchen is where the magic happens. Fresh seafood — oysters, lobster, Dover sole, scallops — takes pride of place alongside hand-rolled pasta, premium steaks, and dishes that change with the seasons.

The daily specials board, handwritten by George himself, reflects what's freshest and most inspiring that day. From whole salt-baked fish to a perfectly seared Tomahawk steak, every special is a moment of culinary creativity.

Front of House

A Warm Welcome

While George creates in the kitchen, Dominika ensures every guest feels at home. Together, they've built Soleto into a place where warmth and hospitality are just as important as the food.

From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed into the family. Whether it's recommending the perfect wine to pair with your Dover sole, or setting up the private dining room for a special celebration, the personal touch is what makes Soleto different.

Our Home

Set on Commercial Road, directly opposite the Mayflower Theatre, Soleto occupies a space that's as warm and inviting as the food. Deep teal walls, gold-framed artwork, soft brass lamps, and white linen tablecloths create an atmosphere that moves seamlessly from relaxed afternoon lunches to intimate candlelit evenings.
