Enjoyed a delicious three course meal here. We were fortunate enough to be seated on a Friday evening without having booked. A little on the pricey side and I'm not a fan of a 12.5% service charge that is automatically added on to the bill, however the ambience and service was spot on. The chef even came out to see that guests were enjoying their food. My only advice is not to go particularly hungry unless you plan to have multiple courses or a couple of sides because the portions are a little modest.

Easily one of the best restaurants in Southampton. Amazing, flavourful Italian food and friendly service. The restaurant’s interior is beautifully decorated. Their Risotto Porcini is perhaps the best version of mushroom risotto I’ve ever tasted.

Favourite restaurant in Southampton! We go here often and never leave disappointed. We love the food and the staff, they are always polite and chatty… never make us feel rushed. A great wine selection. We also took 16 of our staff here for a dinner party and they all loved it. Great aesthetic and lovely cosy vibe. The chef always comes out for a chat. Will be back soon!

Waiter was engaging and extremely kind, funny, the food was great, the only thing I will say is there is needed more options of Italian food such as, gnocchi and pizza. I think the atmosphere is needed a more bigger environment but other than that the atmosphere was amazing. I would have liked a drink menu just might have been easier. But it was so amazing and will be coming back.

Soleto Bistro is an incredible Italian restaurant that instantly transports you back to Renaissance-era Italy with its charming and vintage decor. Every dish here is a masterpiece—whether it’s the starters or the main courses, the flavours are absolutely authentic and impossible to replicate. As a dessert lover, I was particularly impressed by their handmade treats. The tiramisu and Belgian dark chocolate dessert are simply addictive—absolute must-tries! The service is exceptional as well, making the whole dining experience even more delightful. Without a doubt, this is my number one Italian restaurant in Southampton. I’ve already been here twice, and I can’t wait for my third, fourth, and fifth visits and more! Highly recommended!
