Bournemouth is very thin on the ground for decent restaurants, especially around the seaside area and after 9pm at night too - far too many curry and Thai restaurants it's bizzare. We were relieved to find this real gem of an Italian restaurant and it is open until 11pm. We were not exactly dressed for dinner but were greeted with warmth and care by the restaurant team. I ordered a rare steak and my man had the salmon fillet, the sauces are exquisite and our waiter, Matthew, specially ordered grilled tomatoes for me, nothing was too much trouble, he is a rare find in a restaurant, extremely professional and very attentive. We moved inside for desserts as it was getting a little chilly and had tiramisu and apple pie. The apple pie was gorgeous, very well spiced The tiramisu a little bland and not much of it but that was my only complaint. Go here if you want delicious fresh cooked food and amazing service, you won't be disappointed, it truly is Bournemouth's hidden gem.

Fantastic experience I’m glad I didn’t follow hater’s reviews. We as group decided to give it ago dispite the horrible inaccurate reviews. Great authentic Italian cuisine with amazing selection of drinks unbeatable prices top notch service. We have already make a booking for September. Best place for all types of dining out. Love Cristallo Can’t wait to come back.

Wedding anniversary dinner It was just the two of as we were celebrating our wedding anniversary.although we didn’t have a booking we got received like it was arranged booking. We asked for a window table despite the full house still we got a window table just because my husband mentioned about our anniversary. 5 stars all round. We had a selection of appetisers with our cocktails followed with fillet steaks and bottle of organic red wine. AMAZING. I wish cristallo was near where we live . It would be my new local favourite. Prices are reasonable for top quality dining. We decided to visit Bournemouth again soon just to visit Cristallo restaurant again. I can’t believe the horrible reviews. Clearly no clue of classic dining experience. Can’t wait to return. Please try it for yourself people. You will thank me for it. Lots of ❤️ best wishes to Cristallo Team

I highly recommend this restaurant for any group type’solo or couple. I will definitely bring my partner here next time. Cristallo is a kind of place to make you feel proud if you bring someone with you for the first time. Worth every penny. I be back soooooon.x

After spending all day on the beach we were looking for a restaurant within walking distance from the beach. We specifically wanted a place for family I think cristallo restaurant and bar is a perfect place for families we ordered pizzas for kids and steak risotto for me and my husband the food was amazing the atmosphere was great the staff were friendly and helpful. They gave us a table with no prior booking luckily we got table outdoor, one of the best italian restaurants in the Bournemouth Could not recommend highly enough. Wish we lived closer so we could make this a regular haunt. We will definitely be back!

Delicious food, excellent service, very cute outdoor terrace, I’ve ordered Veal alla Crema with roasted potatoes and mushrooms cream sauce , was super tasty. Pizza is also very good. Reading through the comments below mentioning that lamb chops (example) was dry and tasteless: As a tips I would advice lamb chops to be eaten in a Turkish or Indian restaurant for example. 😉Italian ?! Best choices would be pasta, pizza , chicken or meat prepared in cream sauce /wine sauce.

Waited 35 minutes for our drinks and longer for a starter. Calimari. It appeared everyone else there had already finished their mains, so maybe they were short in the kitchen? The atmosphere was nice though, Option to sit outside was nice. Toilets clean and well presented. I think I'd definitely go again, as genuinely seemed like a temporary issue.

I think I just paid £15 for a £3 supermarket pizza! Place looked OK ish from the outside but gave it a chance. Lots of pasta dishes but chose a pizza. When it turned up, it clearly hadn't been made on the premises. The edges snapped off! My guess is it's a Dr Oetker's from famous frozen food supermarket.

Dont eat the lamb chops,the lamb was old and stinking,and had a lot of fat,they coverit all in wine sauce so we couldn’t actually see the lamb.we’ve send it back as it wasn’t tasting good,still had to pay for it though.we are not picky with food but this was our first and last visit here. The response from the chef was,the lamb is fresh and cooked as stated in the menu. Anyway,don’t believe me,try it yourself!

What do people expect when eating out with a service charge, if you don't like service charges order take away or cook and serve yourself. Ate here twice during my stay and absolutely loved the food. Hawaiian pizza on the first day was wood fired definitely falling in love with wood fired pizza I loved every bite on the second day spaghetti Bolognese and sticky chocolate orange cake with ice cream(extra) worth every penny. Would definitely recommend eating here. 2 days £66 good food is worth it

Was seemingly a welcome find close by our hotel on a tired first night. Drinks ordered and delivered quickly with food order taken after we’d asked for a little more time to decide. Starters were brought at same time as mains as requested with no problem. Female staff member was friendly and helpful when my wife had cause to comment on the child portion appearing size of my young teenage, with better appetite than I, son’s spaghetti bolognaise (his signature favourite dish). She was assured it was an adult size dish as ordered but provided another same sized but complimentary without problem. Wife and my own food, calzone, was enjoyably good. Ordered a bottle of their cheapest but not cheap wine and that also was fine. The environment was very comfortably relaxing and music, welcomed and at no time interfered with our conversation. Lighting and decor pleasantly good. Male waiter from initial contact felt a little awkward, though subtly and unable to finger exactly why. Thought he was wishing to take order and misunderstood he actually wanted to take back the specials board if we didn’t want to order from that. Had a good time over all. Fully intended to return before leaving a few days later, expecting to have a similarly enjoyable experience. Unfortunately, having happily given a healthy just sub 15% cash tip on top of meals cost as we left, on returning to our room, wife reviewed our receipt to discover an already added service charge of no insignificant amount as we rarely go out and self indulgently push the boat when we do. I’m used to expecting an added service charge for groups of diners but we were Mum, Dad and a young teenage son. Was a shame it wasn’t pointed out, especially as we’d discussed whether they operated a trunk system, which they don’t, but I made a point of a decent size cash tip anyway. Would have been nicer then to mention that service was added giving me transparent free choice whether to further tip or not. A lesson for me to check every restaurant bill now on even if dining alone. Happened again at the next evenings different restaurant but won’t fall for it anywhere again. Sadly it left me feeling too awkward to return as intended as I would have felt obligated to say something which I suspect would have led to uncomfortable experience, so we didn’t bother. A shame though.

Really lovely restaurant. Lovely fairy lights and candles about the premises gives such a cosy and pretty vibe. The waiter was super friendly and attentive. Served really quickly and not a long wait for food at all. My partner had the calamari and I had the king prawn tempura and they were absolutely delicious. We both had the Pollo Milanese for our mains which was insanely good. Never been to Bournemouth before but if we ever come again we will 100% revisit and highly recommend it.

Superb experience had at this lovely Italian. Service was attentive without hovering; atmosphere was chilled and the music wasn't too loud (unfortunately often the case these days); and most importantly, the food was amazing. Generous portions, impeccably seasoned and well presented. Was offered some extremely tasty looking deserts but simply too satisfied by the main. Lovely coffee to finish instead. Would thoroughly recommend.

Came in with my husband for Valentine's Day. Had a lovely meal. Staff were very friendly. Food was fresh and really good quality. A slight downside (and I can't believe I'm saying this): the portion sizes are enormous. Had a Caesar salad starter, which is the size of a standard meal in a lot of places. Then the main was absolutely massive. On top of that we were asked if we wanted garlic bread with the meal to which we said yes. This was two big pieces each, covered in cheese. I struggled to eat everything and had to leave part of it. Would've had dessert but didn't have room. Honestly for the price we paid (around £110 total including a bottle of wine) each dish could've been divided in half size-wise, and it still would've been good value. They don't need to make dishes this big. But overall a really lovely meal. We've walked past enough times over the years and always meant to try it, and I'm glad we did. And we'll definitely come back. I'll just order less next time.

This restaurant is a full 5 stars. Service was incredible, food was above and beyond! I had spaghetti carbonara, muscles and garlic bread. All of which was perfect. Tasted incredible, and was great portion sized. The garlic bread was crispy but not hard, it was perfect. I cannot express how well the staff did to accommodate needs and friendliness with everyone. A lot of people mentioned the staff tip already put on the bill, I believe this is deserved to be put on there after such a great experience. Well done everyone and I recommend this to all.

Came here on the off chance...we read the reviews after having the best starter we have ever had. Mussels in a cream and chilli sauce. Amazing. Very disappointed that some people were so negative about this restaurant. I had the 8oz lamb steak from the specials board and although the stroganoff on the specials was chicken they did the beef for my partner. The juiciest lamb steak and the best red wine sauce EVER! And the stroganoff was equally as good...think my dish had the edge🤣. Highly recommend this place. Please do not be put off by some of the reviews some people have too much time on their hands.

We were a party of 12. Matthew and the team greeted us with a warm welcome and the service we received throughout the evening was great. We had a range of starters and mains all washed down with a few bottles of wine for the girls and beer for the boys! The food was delicious. I would definitely recommend the garlic mushrooms which were one of the best I've ever had (and I'm very fussy with my garlic mushrooms!) and the penne arrabiata was tasty. All the food came out together (nobody waiting while others were eating) and it was hot (not luke warm like some places!) Two of the girls ordered the lamb off the specials board but found it a little tough so Matthew gave us some Tiramisu on the house which was appreciated. The restaurant was clean and cosy and we will definitely be back next time we visit Bournemouth!

Mathew and his team were absolutely amazing for me and my boyfriend last night. The customer service was amazing they were very kind, funny and gave the best advice on cocktails. From the minute we phoned to book a table to the minute we left they treated us like friends rather than customers, shaking our hands, taking our photos for us, holding doors, etc. Food was fantastic as well. I’ve never had a carbonara as nice as the one I had last night. Although we don’t live in the area we’ll definitely be returning. You don’t get customer service like this anymore.

Absolutely delicious food. The pizza and risotto gets high praise from me and my friends. One star taken off because the desserts are quite poor in comparison - they're brought in rather than made in house. The sauce on my semifreddo had a weird artificial taste and left me feeling suddenly bloated. But all the savoury meals made by the kitchen are indeed top notch.

Overall, my experience was one of the worst I have ever had. The lack of professionalism, courtesy, and basic customer service skills was astonishing.

Wife was upsold prawns on her penne arabiata .Very rich and salty and she was billed 8.50 for a few prawns .Same as the starter.Potatoes side seemed reheated .

Unfortunately i did not take pictures to the food as i m not a picture guy. I came down for the weekend in Bournemouth from London. I found this lovely restaurant by mistake on my way back from the beach. The food and service were fantastic. I spoke to all my friends in London that anytime they are going in Bournemouth they should definitely visit this restaurant. The best steak risotto that i had in long time. Better than any italian restaurant that i've been in London. Keep up the good work and look after the staff as they were on point. Absolutely lovely. I recommend this restaurant from the bottom of my heart. Don't forget to try the Tiramisu.

An average place to eat. Could be cleaner tables inside and more attentive to surroundings settings The waiter was attentive and sometimes a bit too much with his jokes . Food wise , we had starters which were great, calamari and bruschetta, however the mains...

We went for dinner we ordered two steaks one medium and one was well done. The medium was purple in the middle (raw) and the well done was bloody (rare). They disagreed with that even though it was plain to see. As we cut into...

It's pretty rare I leave reviews, but I felt compelled to leave this one to warn other holiday makers not to make the same mistake. If you're looking for a good pizza at a good price, DON'T go here !! I know it was May...

I arrived at the restaurant at 8:20, I asked if i could add a chair onto my friends table which the server said there was no issues at all. I placed my order straight away, it was a spaghetti carbonara, I waited 1 hour and 30 minutes for this. I was constantly checking in wish the servers about where my food was. I found at the 1 hour mark that my order had in fact not reached the kitchen and assured it was being made. This was also the case for my friends meal who was sat next to me. This resulted in my party having to leave said friend and I as it was getting too late cold. No food was offered such as bowl of chips etc. I didn’t order a drink, no tap water was offered. To top it off servers kept making ill-landing jokes about the food which didn’t help the situation. All this time they were still serving other tables and in some cases their food would arrive faster than ours. The carbonara was mediocre, definitely not 90 minutes wait worthy. The server placed my food in front of me and then what can only be described as ‘scampered’ off, it took me pulling another server aside to ask for parmesan and cracked black pepper. What made it worse was the atmosphere was so bad amongst the other tables, as we all saw them taking in more customers and not attending to the ones they had. When a group next to us got finally managed to get their food they cheered, it was sad. Finally they insisted giving us a service charge, I am all for including a service charge - I think it is right, however service charge is added when service charge is due and this simply was not one of them times. All in all terrible experience.

non è cibo italiano, pasta stracotta ragù scongelato ancora freddo e acido, due pezzi di salmone anche quelli scongelati e il piatto del giorno cioè pollo riscaldato, Lo sconsiglio a chiunque!

Sono italiano e in questo posto era tutto cibo congelato, fa abbastanza schifo, insomma non lo consiglio a nessuno.

Revies were mixed between Trip advisor and Google with a few very old ones from Yelp. Overall it seemed worth a try. We were promptly seated ( inside or out - we chose inside as it was a bit damp. ) Everything was very clean...

Hadn’t planned to go Italian last night but our sushi plans fell through and we decided to give this restaurant a try. We are on the area for a three night stay and even thought it was 9pm the place was buzzing. I am gluten free so had a selection of sizes and a big Greek salad all made to perfection and my daughter had the pepperoni pizza. All divine. Service was good and we would come back again in a heartbeat.
