Baffi Southbourne in Bournemouth

I came to baffi for a special occasion as I was recommended this location from a good friend of mine and it didn’t disappoint . The customer service from the staff was amazing well mannered and patient with my family , in addition to this they even recommended an amazing choice of pizza for my brother who was quite indecisive . Finally the time it took to make our pizza was excellent fast and fresh . Pizza was well cooked with a nice amount of crunch to floppy texture which allowed for a beautiful mouthfeel and just when it can’t get any better the pizza had an impeccable cheese stretch just made my day . In conclusion if you’re looking for an amazing pizza for a fair price come to baffi . Try to avoid Cafe Riva .

Everything we ate here was very tasty and was evidently prepared fresh! There is a large selection of flavours/toppings to choose from meaning that you can find the perfect pizza to suit your taste! The service we received was friendly, welcoming and professional. I was certainly not left disappointed with the large 12 inch pizza we received as well as the dough strips topped with truffle & Parmesan! I would definitely return and highly recommend!

Food was great but service was terrible! The staff were so slow! We waited forever for our drinks. 20 minutes after we’d finished eating I had to ask the girl to clear our plates. We didn’t get offered desert menu or at any point get asked if we wanted any more drinks. Had to go to the bar to pay our bill. If it was busy I’d understand but it wasn’t. Staff should prioritise service customers over cleaning empty too! Won’t be going back!

It has taken ages for me to convince my wife to go here, but her sister enjoyed the food she had so she finally succumbed. Turns out I was right - good, tasty food, in a lively setting yet still quiet enough so that you can hear the person opposite. My prawn and garlic pizza was very digestible (given I sometimes I have an issue with doughy pizza, this was a delight with its thin crust) Helpful and attentive staff.

We had booked for 5 pm and on arrival was greeted by friendly and welcoming staff. At that point restaurant was quiet but when finished it was full, so worth booking. There were 8 of us including 2 young children. Nothing was too much trouble and again I must praise the whole team for their friendly and great service and food. The pizzas are amazing, a great selection. We had great drinks and cocktails too…

Excellent pizza and amazing service! One of our party popped in before you opened to ask for a table of 6 as it was fully booked online, and the manager said they’d call us in 30 mins, and they did! We really appreciate the extra effort they put in to help us out! The food was great all round, we will be back’

Lovely pizza and great service. We were recommended Baffi’s when visiting Bournemouth for the weekend and it was as great as promised. The pizza was just like being back in Italy.

We went there for my 5 year olds birthday meal. Really nice Pizza, the staff are great and they really looked after my little one.

Fantastic pizza, lovely atmosphere, and staff were great even though they were run off their feet. Good value and one of the tastiest pizzas I’ve had in a while.

Visited for an early dinner before going into Bournemouth for a show. Couldn’t fault the food but object strongly to the 12.5% service charge. For that I would expect top notch service but that was far from the case. When we entered we were shown to our table with a wave of the hand. When we wanted more drinks we tried hard to get attention of guy at the bar but having no luck I had to go to the bar and ask. I would have removed the service money but my family didn’t want me to cause a scene. Won’t be rushing back.

Baffi has everything you want from a restaurant. Bustling atmosphere, great menu, fantastic food and brilliant service. The lady with the brown hair and glasses was SO welcoming and really went the extra mile to make my evening special. I really enjoyed the pepperoni pizza! 100% recommend Baffi to any pizza lovers!

Visited here recently on a Sunday with family for a birthday celebration. Have eaten here several times before & today was just as good as those previous visits. We all had pizza’s which were all delicious. Really lovely warm & welcoming atmosphere helped by the friendly & welcoming staff. Will no doubt visit again & thoroughly recommend.

I recently dined at Baffi and thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff was attentive and friendly, creating the perfect atmosphere. The pizzas were the best we've tasted in the UK. Ali, the chef, is a fantastic individual who takes pride in his work. Highly recommended – can't praise it enough!

Unfortunately, poor experience today. As we get in the door, the smell was not inviting. Stuffy and strong body odour in the air. Could feel the BO stronger each time one of the staff came to the table. Communication was not rude but we felt almost like we were bothering the staff just by being there. I saw one of the cooks dropping a plate in the kitchen and I'm pretty sure it was used to plate a pizza anyway and the 2 guys were smiling between themselves in the kitchen when it happened. Pizzas were ok'ish, none of us felt it was worth the effort going in. All of them a bit burnt and tasting bitter because of it. I'll attach a picture of my little one's pizza. Is it acceptable to serve this to a child? Not going back, I'm afraid. Why 2 stars instead of 1? Well, I've had even worse experiences and I like to be fair.

Best pizza in the area. The starters were also incredibly tasty. The service was great and the resturant had a lovely atmosphere. I look forward to visiting again.

Good quality yummy pizza with great service. Buzzy atmosphere - we all enjoyed American classics playlist Thank you for very nice evening x

We booked a table here for the first night of our holiday knowing we would be in the area. I'm glad we did. It was very busy. The staff were friendly and attentive. The service was quick and good. The food tasted really nice. The overall experience was brilliant and it was all reasonably priced.

My favourite pizza place in town. Authentic Italian pizza (beautifully chosen toppings with great quality). With Vegan options and gluten-free products. Small space, I do recommend reserving a table in advance (even during the week)

We visited twice in a week. Everything was absolutely spot on. Food excellent, service friendly. Prices fair Nothing more to say, except that if the venue wasn't 200 miles from home, we'd be back in a heartbeat.

One of the best pizzas I have had in a very long time! Lovely little restaurant with delicious food. Waiting staff really nice, attentive and helpful, quick service too. Highly recommended 🌟

Baffi has the best pizzas in Bournemouth, and the best gluten free pizza I’ve ever eaten. Fantastic service, great atmosphere, a gem, highly recommend

The cuisine is absolutely gorgeous the the staff are extremely friendly the levels of hygiene extremely high!! I would absolutely recommended this restaurant!!!

Came here due to a friend recommendation and was not disappointed!! Such delicious pizzas and pasta! Really great for vegans too!

Baffi never disappoints and is now our go-to whenever we fancy eating out or a takeaway. Miles better than other pizzas we have tasted!

Visited here with friends on a Thursday evening. Sometime since I’ve eaten here & pleased to say everything is just as good. It was quiet when we arrived, but very soon completely full, creating a fabulous buzzing atmosphere. Staff were friendly & sociable throughout our...

Always are favourite Italian restaurant, the food is always amazing, especially the pizzas, the atmosphere is always wonderful service too , we came for our wedding anniversary and didn't disappoint, and never does thanks again Baffi 🇮🇹 🍕🍸

I asked on short notice if the restaurant could accommodate a party of 8 for a birthday and they found a slot for us on a busy Saturday night. Everyone around the table commented on how delicious the pizzas were!! If you haven’t tried, do...

The pizzas here are just incredible! Every time we go the food is perfect. Love love love this place!

Visited recently for a meal with a friend and take away regularly with the hubby. I don't even like pizza much but baffi is the best dough, and the salads and sides are outstanding. Kamile is a brilliant front of house too, great service and...

What a great find. It is on Southbourne Grove in Christchurch. Parking is on the main road or in side roads and so there is no problem. It is a busy restaurant and so you are advised to book. We have eaten there with friends...

amazing pizza and great service we were down from London on a short break and just popped in , lovely evening treat

My son treated us to a meal to celebrate my husband's birthday. The staff were all very welcoming, very friendly. The pizzas were fantastic. Only slight moan...it was a bit cramped..maybe just one less table would do the trick ( as only a very small...

Three of us met here for a pizza and a glass of wine early one evening and it was most enjoyable. The staff were very knowledgeable, polite and happy to serve.

I visited with friends. We have had takeout before and knew the pizza was delicious but never eaten in before. The staff were wonderful - they were helpful, kind and genuine with it too. They really made the whole experience. If you haven’t been, you...

We have had delicious, well loaded Pizzas and substantial meals at Baffi in the past. Since then, there is still a comprehensive and well compiled range of delicious pizzas and meals but most now there is definitely a shortfall on the quantity (not quality) of...

This is a very nice pizza place the ham mushroom and pineapple pizza is amazing and has extra special Napoli style pizza!

These pizzas were beautiful we went twice over the course of our holiday and both times were delicious. Can recommend the roast chicken and rocket pizza and the Nutella pizza for a sharing pudding. The staff were lovely and friendly.

Visited on a really busy Saturday night.when we arrived the place was buzzing , we were greeted by a lovely young lady who was in her own at the bar but promptly directed us to our table. We did wait a little while to b3...

Wonderful evening here for my birthday on a busy Friday evening , never disappoints always come back, good service delicious food and really good atmosphere 🍕🇮🇹🥂🍸🍺

Very tasty pizzas, amazing tomato sauce which our Italian friend considered superb. We will go there again.

Lovely food, fantastic service and happy atmosphere. Excellent value. We tried pizzas, pasta and desserts and couldn't fault them at all.

What a lovely experience we've just had in Baffi's tonight. We came in on a recommendation from a work colleague and we were not disappointed! The pizza was delicious, delivered quickly and the staff were so kind and thoughtful. The admosphere is welcoming and you...

I thought I should say here, definitely a place to book in advance, busy, great Italian food and very welcoming by staff, busy bees, thank you for a nice night for me and my other half.. we’ll definitely be back soon. Amazing pizzas I have...

Very good atmosphere, felt cared for and my friends on same opinion with me had a great experience coming on a recommendation. Great pizzas, big sized portioned salads and also service spot on . Will definitely return.

Service and food were great as usual. All spoilt by the sheer volume of the music. We asked the staff several times to turn the volume down - this was initially done then back up it went. I’m sure most customers want to talk during...

Very disappointed to see we were charged exactly the same for a take-away pizza and garlic bread, as for when you eat in. How does that work? What's more, I guess they get away with it, as do not advertise on their website that they...

Wow. Just wow. The service I received from Polina, was beyond anything I’ve experienced before. The most amazing smile and positive attitude, truly outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble, the suggestion's made for drinks to go with my food were awesome. Will be visiting more...

My husband and I came here on new years eve and what lovely starters pizza and cocktails , service was good as it always is we've been here many times before and can't wait to return would definitely recommend

Error made with one of our pizzas, Baffi blamed the Uber delivery driver and washed their hands of the problem. No apology (until their absence of one was pointed out). Told to contact Uber to sort the problem (how they’d fix the problem is anyone’s...

We hadn't been here for a few years but fancied a pizza. The room is warm and welcoming and the service was friendly. The pizzas really rustic and great tasting. The house wine was excellent and is served in 500ml carafes - great idea -...

We ordered our pizzas from Baffi and unfortunately the wrong pizza was delivered by Uber Eats. However, after contacting the restaurant they were so apologetic and rectified the problem straight away by having one of their own staff deliver the replacement. As always, the pizzas...

We were lucky to get a table on a busy Thursday night. Loved the atmosphere and dim lighting (although not so much the choice of music - just my personal view). The staff was really great despite some of the comments here. And the pizza...

The best pizza napoletana since southern Italy- authentic, delicious with generous ingredients, this is simply the best pizza you’ll find without going to Naples!

Both me and my partner agreed that it was the best pizza we've ever tasted, the dough was just on another level to anywhere we've been. Very helpful manager, we stayed in Southborne for a week and went back for a 2nd time because it...

On arrival, the manager was extremely rude and argumentative. We had booked for a family meal for 7 seven people. Their website's booking form had options for 1 tp 6 people, so we had added a note, on the 'additional information' space provided on their...

First time at Baffi, and what a pleasant surprise..... we went on a Friday lunch time and the service was excellent - food was first class. The 'special' pizza was loaded with toppings and delicious. The pistachio ice-cream is well worth a tasting. Service was...

Our favourite restaurant when on holiday I Bournemouth were there for 5 nights and ate at Baffi twice. Delicious pizzas and wine is beautiful. Do try. Hope Baffi will come to london one day..... Amazing xxxxx

Food was amazing however service was AWFUL. Took 1 hour to offer us dessert menu. Won’t be going back

We visited in early august whilst on holiday. I had brought the kids here in 2016 but couldn’t remember the name . We recognised it online by the pictures. We all had pizza or calzone and all where quick to arrive and excellent . The...

So We love Baffi & haven’t been for 2 years after moving. It was a busy Saturday bank holiday so we did wait a while for food but we got complimentary drinks & the pizza is worth the wait. The table next to us were...

Best gluten free pizza ever and service 5 stars. My boyfriend is very fussy but he love your pizza. Can’t wait to come back.

Visited today for lunch. We were the only ones in here which was very surprising as this place was fantastic. The chef and waiter were lovely and friendly. The pizza is the best. Very tasty and almost finished us! Sorry we didn't have cash to...

So glad we came across this restaurant. Lovely atmosphere, very polite waitress and waiter, attentive, helpful and friendly. The best pizzas we’ve ever had!! All staff were wearing masks, hand sanitiser at each table and social distancing in place. We will definitely be going back...

First meal out since lockdown ended and they are always perfect, from the food to the service. Thank you!

Why people don't learn to be respectful to staff and restaurants in such a hard transition, I Don't understand .. is sad to see a bad review about last night's incident in Baffi. We've been there when all went down between customers that don't know what common sense and respect means. The restaurant had literally nothing to fault in the way business is run. The manager and the lovely girl have always tended to announce each table(including ours) about the booking arriving after us for same table-and clearly we all knew the moment we booked, how long we have to enjoy our dinner.. and is enough time to have a tasty pizza and a desert if we'd like to.. but not everyone likes to be as thankfull for baine able to still come out for dinner and be still welcomed in a busy environment. Sad to see bad atmosphere in such a happy place. I had to write something to support the staff into how well and fast they responded. Social distancing is well respected with no problem apart from those individuals who thought is right to brake the rules on someone else's expense. We want to always come back and be able to do so. GO BAFFI!

"I love this place so much. During lockdown it got to the point where I was ordering weekly. Last night i had to try it again, and as per usual, BAFFI never failes.The pizzas are the best I have ever tasted including pizzas in Italy. Always happy and friendly service from the manager and his staff. Fully recommend. "

I use to visit the Westbourne restaurant and always enjoyed the food and atmosphere. In times like these a good atmosphere is hard to find but I found it here. Nothing was too much and staff so friendly and respectful. Will definitely be visiting again with friends and family. Great place for eating alone or with others. Top marks on the wine selection and recommended by the server. Amazing.

"Staff and very polite and friendly went above and beyond From the moment we walked in we had fantastic service and were instantly welcomed. Place feels cosy, atmosphere is vivid and everyone looks like they're regulars, all having same happy faces on.The food is authentic Italian, and don'tlet any people tell you otherwise!! Also super waky Bogdan is the star of the show !!! Definitely family restaurants are the most interested in putting the extra shoulder in Customer services. Well done Baffi."

Total disgrace, visited Baffi tonight with my young Son. Large crowds arrived, no respect for other diners, packed out the bar area. Totally Covid unsafe, no social distancing, one large group totally blocked the entrance where a fight broke out which caused a near miss to my son. Manager was at a loss to control the customers. As a key worker who has battled through this pandemic daily I feel so distressed at the risk me and my family where placed in tonight. It will be a long time before we visit again!! Total lack of respect rules not followed

Mensaje a los propietarios ¿cuándo van a reabrir Baffi en Westbourne?Esta fue nuestra primera visita a la sucursal de Southbourne y solíamos ir con regularidad a la de Westbourne antes de que se cerrara inexplicablemente y se convirtiera en un bar de sopa desafortunado al que no fuimos.Baffi hace las mejores pizzas y hemos estado sufriendo de abstinencia, así que este fue un delicioso almuerzo de pizza, ensalada grande y una jarra de tinto con un buen servicio relajado.¿Mencioné que deberían reabrir la sucursal de Westbourne?

great pizza(not your run of the mill classic ones): check lovely attentive service even though it was a late evening on a Sunday: check cozy restaurant: check what more do you need? oh yes, smaller pizzas for the kiddies check

Visité el sábado por la noche en una noche muy concurrida y honestamente puedo decir que este lugar es increíble, si pudiera dar más de 5 estrellas, lo haría.No solo la comida es increíblemente sabrosa, sino que el servicio también es excelente.El gerente tiene mucha personalidad, es muy servicial y siempre está dispuesto a charlar un poco contigo, sin importar lo ocupado que esté. . . y créeme, ¡está muy ocupado!Las pizzas eran las mejores que hemos probado en mi vida, ¡todos mis amigos (7 de nosotros) estamos de acuerdo con eso!¡Definitivamente volveremos pronto de nuevo!¡Gracias por la noche increíble!

He comido aquí unas 10 veces durante los últimos 5 años, siempre que visito Bournemouth. Es la mejor pizza de masa madre, mejor que cualquier otra que haya aquí en el sur de Londres. El servicio es excelente, el personal es amable. Este julio también ordené por teléfono y recogí cajas de 3 pizzas frescas para llevar para mi familia, lo cual fue útil, y las pizzas estaban tan buenas como siempre. A los niños desde los 8 años hasta la mamá de 70 años les encantaban. No podría recomendar este lugar lo suficiente.

We stopped here on our last night in Southbourne. Baffi are a small chain on the south coast. An intimate, hipster feel with great pizza, would also recommend the Portuguese white. Will definitely go back.

Apareció sin esperar nada demasiado especial y había un ambiente muy relajado que estaba bien. Pedí una selección de artículos para todos juntos para nosotros 3, que incluía la ensalada de mozzarella, polpette, pan de ajo con queso, calzone y ensalada y el sabor de todo era excelente. Muy recomendable para una comida sencilla y relajada.

Great food great service great atmosphere. Sour dough pizza was perfect, staff were super friendly Ndndn

Fuimos de visita el sábado por la noche, el lugar estaba muy ocupado, pero el gerente nos recibió con una gran sonrisa y nos preparó una mesa de último minuto.El servicio fue muy atento y rápido.Las pizzas eran para morirse, absolutamente deliciosas. . . lo mejor que hemos tenido! ¡Incluso fuimos al chef y lo felicitamos nosotros mismos!¡Bien hecho chicos, estamos tan felices de que hayan vuelto!

Elegí este restaurante como el primero después del cierre.¡Me estaba perdiendo su pizza demasiado!Estaba tan complacido con lo que encontré. . . el servicio fue atento pero super amable y las pizzas ¡guau!¡Ellos fueron increíbles! !¡Mateo acertó!¡Bien hecho muchachos! Volveremos otra vez!

Great food and great service. Very family friendly at the time we went (430). Will definitely go back

We have been here just before all the restaurants had to shut down, i am glad we had our "last supper" in this place.From the service to the food everything was great.The chefs are really friendly and the always have a smile on their face.Couple of chaps who were serving us made us feel like home.Congratulations guys! keep it up

Baffi in Southbourne is a favourite of mine. Perfect for my quick lunchtime catch up with a friend. Delicious pizza (of course!) and speedy, friendly service. Just what we needed. Plan to use the takeout service soon now we’re distancing #supportlocal

Loving the vibe in baffi's southbourne. Friendly manager. Pizzas cooked to perfection and salad crispy fresh. Will be returning for more pizza very soon

What a lovely authentic restaurant! My husband and I should have been in Italy for the 6 Nations Rugby and going on to Naples to visit Pompeii. Talk about a consolation prize, for a brief hour we were taken to Napoli and enjoyed every moment from the pizza and lasagne to the service. Thank you Baffi for cheering us up!!

We have eaten at Baffi on numerous occasions- it’s a lovely little restaurant- always a warm welcome, delicious food and reasonable prices. I really enjoy the meatballs and the salads, my husband is a fan of the pizzas, which are proper Neapolitan ones.

Amazing pizza, amazing starters, amazing service and staff. I live in Poole and would travel to go to Southbourne just for this restaurant. (Oh and I’ve been visiting here for years, you will not get corona virus or any other virus/illness. Their personal hygiene and cleanliness is well above usual standards). Go! You won’t regret it.

Another great evening with the best pizza in Dorset! The staff is super nice and attentive and the chefs never seem to fail to deliver! Strongly recommend this place if you want an authentic italian experience!

Este restaurante es asqueroso. Acabo de presenciar al chef de pizza estornudar 4 o 5 veces sobre los platos en los que se sirven las pizzas. El chef se sonó la nariz y tiró el pañuelo al horno de pizza donde se cocinaban las pizzas de la gente. Increíble, lo presencié dos veces. No pudimos continuar con la comida que quedaba, dejando comida y bebida sin comer. Le informamos esto al gerente y no fue negado, increíble, dijo que el horno estaba lo suficientemente caliente como para matar gérmenes. No puedo creer que los estándares de Hygene sean tan bajos mientras estamos en una crisis de salud. Nunca volveremos Por favor no vayas a este restaurante.

Baffi - my favourite restaurant in town! Lovely huge pizza 🍕, great atmosphere and good service. Would definitely recommend Baffi!

Visited with family on 14/03/20 after many good previous good visits.Food and service was great as always.There is an open plan kitchen we were sitting opposite. After our food had arrived we witnessed a chef sneezing into tissues and disposing of the tissues into the pizza oven. We looked on in disbelief the first time it happened, questioning what we had seen. After the second time we got up from our seats and approached the manager at the bar on our way out.He tried to justify the chefs action by saying the the pizza oven was 400 degrees and would kill all the germs.Was not dealt with appropriately givem the current corona virus situation. Gave us our drinks for free but will never visit again.Will also be reporting to environmental health.

I visited on a recommendation and was favorably impressed. Huge pizzas, good value, friendly staff, quick service and reasonable prices. Visit before 5.30pm for bargain basement prices but still the same quality pizza.

Local a la zona y hemos estado en Baffi muchas veces antes.

Lovely food, nice wine, great service, family friendly. Would go again. Prices were reasonable too, we got Baffi hour.

We visited on a Saturday lunchtime and were very impressed with the excellent service and delicious pizzas. Light, fluffy bases and divine toppings. Some more unusual combinations available too. Would highly recommend. The toilets were spotless too which is always a good sign!

This restaurant was recommended to me, and I have to say that I was well pleased. Booked bit in advance for new Year, Lovely setting and the food was brilliant, and the staff after all the run around they had to put up with they had the bestest mood and spirit. that guy made us dance and sing with all restaurant at one moment. not everywhere you get to feel like that. We shall definitely visit again. great job Baffi

Amazing pizzas pure Italian Taste! Will be going back for sure cause of such character and service from these chaps. Surely manager fits the place. Amazing prices also.. All good words. Well done.

Visited with some colleagues as part of a business trip. Food was exceptional and very well priced. Though would recommend on service alone as was treated very well

We have visited Baffi a number of times and leave impressed after every visit. We always try to visit during ‘Baffi Hour’ as £6.50 for a delicious pizza is hard to beat!

Lovely gluten free pizza but be prepared to pay £4 for a small bottle of beer. It kind a ruined it for me knowing that 1 pint costs you £8. For that reason I will probably only get a takeout in future
