The moment you step inside, the warm rustic interiors and stylish branding create an atmosphere that feels both effortlessly chic and welcoming.

The open kitchen concept further enhances this vibe, offering a tantalising glimpse into the skilled craftsmanship behind each dish.

At Solina Pasta, every plate is a celebration of bold flavours and textural harmony. Their pasta selection is extensive and impeccably prepared — from the silky Spaghetti tossed with fragrant olive oil, garlic, chilli, and crispy pangrattato, to the hearty Rigatoni smothered in a sumptuous pork and fennel ragu, each bite bursts with authentic umami depth. Signature dishes like the creamy Carbonara Pasta and the slow-cooked Beef Shin Ragu with Reginette showcase the chefs’ dedication to layering taste and tradition with finesse.

Diners routinely lavish praise on the tiramisu, heralded as a crowning jewel of the menu, with its luxuriously smooth mascarpone and perfectly balanced espresso-soaked layers. Desserts like the Affogato and the rich, velvety Burrata paired with roasted peperonata and capers provide delightful, memorable finishes that linger on the palate.

The small plates and dips also deserve a special mention — the truffled wild mushroom arancini with pesto mayo is an absolute revelation, crisp on the outside and decadently creamy within. Equally tempting are the Romana courgette with cannellini bean dip and the crispy pork croquettes accented by parsley mayo. Each dish reflects meticulous attention to ingredients and seasoning, elevating simple components into flavourful highlights.

Solina Pasta’s cocktail menu complements the food perfectly, boasting classics such as the zesty Aperol Spritz and Negroni, alongside inventive concoctions like the Solina Picante and Peach & Elderflower Hugo.
