"Casual Italian restaurant. The price is quite reasonable and we sometime come to here for dinner. Pizza is so nice! There are tons of not real Italian pizza but this restaurant pizza is very well :) All foods come to our table always under 10mins. It is always full inside does not matter week days. So have to make a booking before we go. Inside of restaurant is full of people especially young people so it is so loud and hard to hear other people’s voice. This is the place to enjoy your food without conversation, so just dig in! Thanks for good meal :)"

"SoLita is centrally located in Civic with a large outdoor seating area and indoor seating available. The menu lists all your Italian favourites. The service staff are very welcoming, and – despite how busy it can get – are attentive and efficient the whole time! The Bruschetta and Crocette di baccala starters were top notch. I really enjoyed my spaghetti aglio e olio main. Been here a few times and the experience has remained consistently excellent! *****"

"I'm still at my table in the restaurant and had to leave a review right now. As I told the owner Kathy, this is the best Italian food (especially for vegan options) I've ever had!! as a European Melbournian food snob (lol) usually my Italian cooking is the best. there's many good places in Melbourne but this was just even better!! 10/10. nice restaurant, great friendly service, fast readiness of the meals... and the best pizza and gnocchi ever! we had the pesto gnocchi and Siciliana pizza. I can't wait to return to Canberra one day and visit SoLita again. open up a restaurant in Melbourne if you can! I'll miss you, haha. thank you for one of the best meals ever! Adriana and Nathan."

"a lovely italian place with very yummy food. we sat outside in the summer and it was quite lovely. Although it is important to note that when outside the trees do shed and blow a type of pollen onto you, your table and the food quite regularly. So if you are under an umbrella you are all good, if not, like us you will have a little extra something in your glass and on your pizza."

"Good price, decent food, fast service. The pizzas were okay, good amount of toppings. The pastas are big which is nice, so we had plenty to eat, but they are okay as well. I think overall it was average but considering the price it is good, you get what you paid for. We are not a fan of the booking system since they hold money on our card, but it's understandable."
