Solarino is putting the passion back into dining with a big sicilian flavoured slice of gods kitchen, right here in Melbourne's CBD.

We seek to offer Melbournians an authentic food experience with fresh ideas and ingredients in a contempory European setting.

Solarino is the exciting concept created by chefs Grant Phelan (Il Solito Posto, Ca De Vin, Roberto's Ristorante and Aldelphi) and wife Jade Amenta (Sicily, and Magnolia Bakery, Manhattan

This exact combination of culinary prowess and stuning decor comes to life in the historical glass canopy - covered laneway of Howey Place.

 


At Solarino, daytime dining is back in fashion with original dishes cleverly projected onto wall menu's each day.  Unlike other eateries in the area, Solarino is open from 6.30 am so you can delight in a real breakfast before strolling into work.  You'll feel right at home with our sizable sleek marble bar surrounded by conversation tables and pockets of inviting and comfortable seating. We're also equipped with wireless broadband, meaning you can settle in for the afternoon with an espresso in hand.

It's never been this hot in the kitchen!

Part Melbourne, Part Sicilian, So Solarino!

Solarino Opening

Solarino opened with a bang on Sunday August 24 2008 to an agreeable crowd of food lovers and friends.  The Prosecco was poured, and guests nibbled on specially created tasters and tempters so everyone could sample flavours from the new and exciting menu.  It was a chilly afternoon in Melbourne but everyone was warm and well fed at our very special opening.

Buy another four, get the tenth free.  Buy another four, get the 15th free, you think this is just going to go on and on yeah?  But NO!...   Buy another four and you get a free coffee and also a dessert!  Absolutly free!  Now thats not bad for choosing Solarino for your morning and during the day coffees..  Most people buy a few a day, so not only will you be getting free coffees frequently for being loyal, but you can get to the free dessert, take a little more time out and enjoy it either in house or at your desk, and we know you'll be thinking of us.
