Sole Mio

I recently dined at Sole Mio in Central’s Soho district and had a fantastic experience. Tucked away on the upper floor of The Elgin at 51 Elgin Street, this Italian gem offers an authentic and cozy atmosphere that instantly feels welcoming. I tried the pesto pasta and pepperoni pizza, both of which were outstanding. The pesto pasta was rich with fresh basil and a perfect balance of flavors, while the pepperoni pizza boasted a crispy crust and generous, well-seasoned toppings—truly a taste of Italy. To cap it off, the tiramisu was a delightful treat, creamy and perfectly soaked with coffee, leaving me thoroughly satisfied.


What made the visit even more special was the hospitality. The boss surprised us with complimentary lemon sour wine and a beverage, a thoughtful gesture that added a personal touch to the meal. The staff were friendly and attentive, enhancing the overall comfort of the dining experience. The vintage decor and intimate setting made it feel like a hidden oasis amidst Hong Kong’s bustling financial hub, ideal for a relaxing evening.


The value for money was impressive, especially for Central, with prices aligning well with the quality of food and service. While the location might be a bit tricky to find, the effort is worth it for this authentic Italian escape. The restaurant’s nearly two-decade legacy shines through in its consistent offerings, and I’d recommend it to anyone craving a break from local cuisine. Whether you’re a solo traveler or with company, Sole Mio delivers a memorable meal with a warm, authentic vibe. I’ll definitely return on my next visit to Hong Kong!
