Solita - Toronto

Solita, aka South of Little Italy, is actually located a little bit south and west of Little Italy.

This cafe is a great place run by Vikki and her husband. They built the cafe themselves and it is beautifully designed.

This restaurant is a hidden gem. The owners are wonderful and extremely welcoming.

When you step inside, you feel like you just stepped into a little bit of Italy with all its charms, smells and products. Maurizo greets you with a welcoming smile and makes you feel at home. While he is taking your order some regulars pop in and you can hear them deciding what they are going to have. The coffee is beyond amazing, actually tastes like an espresso should- from ITALY of course. The home made panino porchetta was delicious, highly recommend. For dessert, a cannoli with fresh ricotta stuffing from, you guessed it ITALY - OMGoodness. Will be back in a flash.

Come visit this restaurant for a enjoyable dining experience. They offer a wide variety of food options, from excellent espresso to ready-to-go sous vide meals to take home, as well as delicious artisan gelato. The owners are extremely enthusiastic, friendly, and deeply passionate about their food.
