Cafe Giardino fareham in Fareham

Expensive but service was good. We were the only customers though it was 3.30pm

Smoothie was fruity and very nice. Tuna wrap was filling and fresh. Chicken panini was warm and very filling and had a light texture and very tasty and the sweet treat at the end was nice. The lady that made the filling was kind and professional. Nice experience

Clean and tidy, nice staff and good food. It's a good stop off on your shopping for a decent lunch.

Had a tuna jacket and a diet coke. Nearly £12.00. Jacket potato just dumped on side plate with no side salad. Potato not very warm. Very expensive for what it is.

Enjoyed a really lovely egg mayo baguette and coffee.

My goodness, I know everything has gone up but..... Nothing wrong with the food but just paid £8.10 far a baguette with tuna mayo. Terrible price for massed produced stuff. Will never go in here again

Good quality food with great service.

Good place to visit and enjoy your delicious food and drinks..recommended to all..GB

Good food, helpful staff. Thank you!

Friendly staff. Various options of food. I asked for something not shown and it was not a problem!

Good coffee and pastry, reasonably priced. Seating area great for people watching.

Coffee great BUT Belgian Buns were too dry, even a replacement taken from a sealed pack.

Very polite staff noisy atmosphere as in shopping precinct

Had a very nice lunch here recently ☺️

It was the worst experience ever! Rude staff unpleasant cleanness. Didnt take care for a dirty glass being used then to just tip it in a clean one. Staff was highly rude and overall just a disappointment to customer service in general. Never will go there again. Not if I want dirty dishes being given to me .

Very friendly staff, great seating area at the top of Fareham shopping centre where you can enjoy a tea or coffee and a cake while watching the world go bye.

Tasty food with a good collection! They always seem to be out of Crayfish and avocado..must be very popular!

Disappointing!! Definitely not service with a smile today. 2 young girls looking really miserable on the check out with an older lady serving food who also didn't crack a smile. A tuna melt that seemed to have just a small bit of chopped salad, couldn't really see the tuna and there seemed to be no cheese. Didn't bother to complain as looking at them you'd have got nowhere. It's a shame as we've been in before and found staff happy and friendly and the tuna melt was a proper tuna melt. All in all not good value for money and service could have been much better.

Excellent place for good food and drinks.

Absolute rip off!! £15 for a baked potato with seafood, small side salad and a drink! At least Dick Turpin wore a mask!! Daylight robbery! Avoid at all costs! Pop across the road to weatherspoons where you actually get value for your money!

I had a terrible experience! it was my first time with my family and got treated horribly and spoken to aggressively by a lady, middle aged, brunette with glasses preparing the food at the cafe acting like the boss! She spoke down to the blonde colleague who was the only one with customer service skills and actually trying to help. They gave our food to the wrong people and refused to redo it, shouted at the staff and I for giving wrong food. She also was very rude when I asked for a new apple for my daughter as it had mould all over it, her response was what do you expect it’s an apple. Will never be returning!

Very friendly and lovely atmosphere!

Lovely jacket potato with avocado & shrimp

Fantastic fresh food and drink.

Really lovely fresh food, now they are well.staffed even better, there was a time when the poor manager was practically on her own.

I arrived at 12 -20 today and was looking for to my lunch My friend ordered an All day breakfast and I ordered Egg , Hashbrowns and toast I was told I couldn't have fried egg it had to be scrambled eggs I said I'm sorry but I do not like scrambled eggs and was told it was that or nothing On the menu on all the tables it states Alll. Day breakfast with fried eggs Hash browns Toadt etc . I was then told I couldn't have that as the kitchen closed at 12 noon Why advertise all day breakfast if your kitchen shuts at 12 noon

Always good coffee and the cakes enticing, service is quick and friendly.

Food is fresh, there's a wide selection including plenty of vegetarian options and portions are generous. I particularly like their salads.

It's rare nowadays to find a place that actually makes panini's fresh most are premade and just heated, not here all made when ordered, and it makes a difference they tasted great, the service was friendly and quick, and the Americans coffee I had with it tasted great (flavourful without being bitter). I'm not from Fareham, but work does have an office nearby and when in the area will definitely be going back to try other things from their menu.

had a lovely cheese, tomatoe & onion baguette here 2day lovely & freshly made, definatly recommend!

My husband and I thought we would try here for a change . I used to rate this place 5* but not anymore . It seemed to be untidy . There was only 2 ladies working . They seemed to be confused who was doing what, getting confused with food orders and rushed off thier feet . There wasn't many customers waiting. When we finally got our meal the coffee was nice and hot but our food was cold , we would have taken the food back and complained but what's the point like with most places it's not worth it , you just get a sorry . So we won't be going back there for food just a coffee

Good selection and good food and drinks

friendly staff, great service and good coffee.

Good food ,reasonably priced staff friendly

Visited here after having dreadful experience at Costa. Staff were clean, bright, cheerful and polite. Drinks were hot. Food freshly made and tasty. One star deducted as tuna melt was a little dry but had lots of flavour. Costa look and learn

Inside the shopping precinct at Havant. Very spacious and light. Good selection of snacks sandwiches,wraps, pasta and salad.

Most of the staff are friendly, and it's clean and tidy.

Very pleasant place to enjoy a meal. Took my friend for lunch, and food was lovely. Fresh made. Comfortable chairs and bright area.

Lovely cafe in Fareham. Friendly staff and lovely food. Jacket spud with homemade coronation chicken. Excellent cappuccino.

Walked in had a look and walked out again

Great food reasonably priced, tables and floor cleaned properly, friendly staff too

Good food, a mix of hot food and sandwiches

Friendly, polite and helpful staff, delicious food. Jacket potato was fantastic as we're the panini and salad. First visit but already planning when we we can come back.

I have had breakfast and lunch at this cafe restaurant in Fareham mall - always good hot piping food and the breakfasts are super!

Always get a good coffee and snack here, jacket potatoes, salads etc

Food was lovely, but unfortunately they were short staffed. Long wait to been served and few people in queue gave up and walked away..

Bit expensive and the range has changed on the menu. I had a salmon and cream cheese ciabatta but the server didn't toast it or offer and it was quite rubbery bread. Odd. I understand it's a chain but I have enjoyed it previously.

A lovely old established bakery wonderful array of breads cake and savourys.

Hor chocolate was disappointing

Food was good, has more variety of food than the other cafes

I had the cheese toastie and chips and it was delicious! I think I've found my Fareham cafe! Will definitely be back! :) ..

Was in a.rush ordered a bite to eat and.a coffee really nice ,

Good food, cakes and coffee very polite staff, value for money

Asked for poached egg on toast, it was like rubber and disgusting.

I like the food and the staff are friendly as well. But why does no one clear the tables of a previous customers food debris and plates during the day Last week I counted 22 tables full of the previous customers lunch, no clean tables available, and customers moving debris around to create space for them⁹selves. Mondays are particularly bad as its Fareham market day hence its busier. At lunch I have seen at lest 5 staff all sat down having lunch together towards thìe rear whilst customers try to clear the tables to sit down. If you have a manager or a supervisor then they need to open their eyes and observe what is going on, and then do something about it !! A manager needs to "manage", this is just NOT happening - a real shame.

Dropped in for lunch to grab a sandwich. Enormous range of fillings and healthy option salads, with meals freshly made before your eyes. I chose tuna mayo on brown bread, with tomatoes, cucumber and addition of red onions. Optional butter spread. Very tasty. Decent portion size. Can of Coke Zero to accompany. Cost £8.40. Considering that I got instant (I mean immediate, no queues) very friendly service, with no attitude and a really nice, relaxed stress free ambience in which to eat my lunch (unlike virtually all burger restaurants), I think that is very fair value for money indeed. Recommended.

Husband very happy with food, me not so much

Great offer on at the moment for a cuppa and pastry for £3.45. Went in at 10.30 and quite a good selection still left. Had coffee which was lovely and strong! Staff always clearing and wiping down very quickly.

Accidentally left a bag in this cafe after a great visit there. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Would fully recommend this cafe and its staff to anyone.

Had a cheese and tomato pizza slice and coffee wife had a tuna slice both enjoyed will definitely return when that way again

Never bought anything as they didn't have what we wanted

Disappointed breakfast but nice waitress

It's a nice place and relaxing to have a cuppa.

Coffee is better than Costa and cheaper

Super friendly staff and large portions, I never leave here hungry!!

Bright very clean Prompt service Friendly staff Food is great .. possibly not the cheapest in town but then they are in the precinct so I expect their operating costs are quite high :) They do vegan and vegetarian and gluten free

Used to go here alot , not sure we d go back ,bit disappointing . quite pricey too .nearly £20 for 2 teas and 2 tuna baguettes.

It was ok the day I went I was the youngest and am 58 lol

Such fresh food, really nice ladies serving food and keeping the tables clear.

The fresh salads and pastas are delicious!

Fresh taste, well seasoned salads. 🤌💯 sandwich , panini range excellent.

Nice range of foods and drinks.

The customer service was less than impressive - staff uninterested and miserable. One lady had many rings on whilst dealing with food and drink. The cleanliness was not up to standard in the kitchen or at the tables. Many tables unclear and dirty. The Panini was okay but wouldn't eat it again.

Really love the food here and the staff are really friendly. Good variety of fresh food. This is our go to place for lunch when we come shopping.

I had a goat's cheese panini and flat white. The panini had way too much pepper in and nowhere near enough cheese. It was also undercooked, the bread had no crunch to it at all. The flat white came out in a massive mug, the same size as the lattes and tasting like a bad latte too. It was also too hot to drink until after I had eaten.

I was waiting for a shop to open. So I popped into Giardino. Coffee and danish pastry 3.45. Absolutely delightful very pleasant and friendly staff. Certainly recommend this cafe

Good food and nicely presented. Appeared a quieter place to eat than some others on a fairly busy Saturday, which may be worth considering if you're worried about social distancing at all.

Great coffee. Terrible breakfast. The beans were about 3 days old by the look of it and were like little pebbles. The bacon and mushrooms were stone cold. Not good

Always have a bite to eat here if I come to Fareham. Food and coffee are just so good. So many great salads, spoilt for choice.

Very quiet. Probably after effect of pandemic. Good service

Lovely selection of both hot and cold food, knowledgeable and friendly staff

Always good for a cup of coffee ☕ a place to sit and catch up with friends.

Bacon reheated in microwave and sausages tasted like rubber jacket potato burnt spent alot and wasted food took bacon back to be told I don't want ut uta been in your.mouth disgusting never again

It’s a big letdown for this Italian restaurant with very poor quality food . Needed a mint to wash off the revolting after taste . Very pricey menu & absolutely not worth the money.

Excellent service and friendly staff

Great service, good variety of food available

Up to its usual high standard, staff are clean and tidy, very efficient and polite.

I enjoyed a fabulous wholemeal sandwich with avocado and prawn salad filling. Delicious! I also had a macciato and a glass of cold water. It was a lovely lunch.

Lovely coffee and friendly staff.

Nice coffee clean surroundings and polite pleasant staff

Love the cafe but food is expensive for what you get good service very polite staff

They have a wonderful selection of prepared salads, which I can't resist

Love place and Maria is always. Welcoming

Food is very basic but expensive. Hygiene not great cleaner using same cloth to wipe everything down in the seating area not witnessed clean water used just a cloth for tables, chairs etc. Training would be a key point here especially in the current COVID-19 climate

Lovely place, walked past it many times but had some lunch today. The food is freshly cooked in front of you, very fresh & enjoyable. Very clean and good Covid procedures. We will return

Good service and a lovely cup of coffee

Great atmosphere with wonderful staff

Not a good experience, tables dirty and food on floors. Staff didn't seem to know what they were doing.

Great place. Friendly staff. Sandwiches are made in front of you so totally fresh. Great selection of salads which all look interesting. I only had a cappuccino on this occasion but l believe hot food is also served.

Tasty Lunch of salmon sandwiches and a chicken wrap plus tea and coffee. Freshly made, service okay, drinks fine.
