Good food, good atmosphere and great service (thanks to Milly and Ciro). We had a table upstairs by the window, which gave us a good view. It was Mothers' Day and a nice touch was to give all mothers a gift.

Lovely restaurant that accommodated nine of us for a team dinner - including one with a severe nut allergy - on a Wednesday night. The restaurant is nicely decorated, the service was impeccable and all of the main courses came out at exactly the same time so no polite waiting for everyone to get their food while yours slowly gets cold! All of it was delicious and I'd highly recommend.

This is a nice, authentic Italian family restaurant on the popular quayside in Poole, directly opposite Sunseeker Boats - we received a warm welcome from our excellent waiter (Ciro) who was very professional and waited upon us with efficiency and a smile - our food was very nice, but the garlic bread was served with melted cheese on top, an experience I have never had at an Italian restaurant before ! Overall, a very nice dining experience only spoilt when I examined the bill when I got home to see that they had automatically added a 10% service charge - in my case, about £ 7, which may not be a lot of money to the wealthy residents of Poole, but I'm a pensioner and I'd rather that £7 was in my pocket whilst trying to make ends meet.

Expensive and bad service is a bad combination for a restaurant and this Bournemouth restaurant qualified for both. If it not for the fact we were out celebrating with family and friends I would have complained. The portions were a bit mean and one of our party waited until the rest of us had finished. I ordered a steak, which was tough, but had to wait for mustard, a standard condiment I would have thought. Would not recommend
