The best authentic pizzas I can find in poole, great service here usually, by the longer standing staff, the newer staff need to improve on table manners (clicking knuckles at the table made me want to throw my dinner back up, genuinely ruined the atmosphere of entire evening and the girl should not be serving customers in dirty clothes either) Food was brilliant though and left very full!

Located on Poole Quay, this is such a wonderful place to enjoy your favourite Italian food. The staff are so welcoming and friendly. Its been a while since my last visit and I won't be leaving it long until the next one. I had the stagioni pizza which was piled high with all the vegetables. As expected it was delicious, served quickly and with a personal touch - the waiter even remembering it's my favourite despite the long gap in my visits. My dad had the margarita but due to a tomato intolerance he had it without the sauce which was no problem for the staff to accommodate. Sadly we didn't have room for dessert this time. I would highly recommend a visit to Da Vincis, such a lovely atmosphere and a real authentic vibe.

Very disappointing. We had a table of 6. The menu looked lovely and we couldn't decide what to have for starters. The owner said he could offer us a tapas style starter with a mixture of choices from the menu. Little did we know he would charge us £15 per person for small bowls of tapas. Our main courses arrived, 3 out of 6 were cold. We sent them back and they returned cold once more. When the returned the second time, the owner sarcastically served them from a hot pan infront of us. He handed me the plate which was scolding hot. I was left with blisters. There was no care or apology from him. In fact, the owner put his coat on and left the restaurant 5 minutes later. There was no offer to take money off the bill. Oh, and the food was still cold..!!

Disappointed as we weren't treated with respect by one of the waiters. Definitely treated like tourists and no respect. Asked if we had booked as need to book a table when it was nearly empty. Ended up being seated and had to keep asking for drinks and to order food. Had to ask for the bill and no hurry for us to leave but told at beginning need to book as busy? When we left there was 6 tables in there. Not sure what else to say.

Our table was booked for 7pm, we didn’t get to it for 30mins waiting across the road, watching other people just going in??? Starters were ok but main dishes were very poor almost inedible & my order was completely wrong. The young waitress did her best to try to rectify but our dining experience had been ruined by then. There was no apology for being kept waiting in the first instance. They are not providing great service & it’s true that they think we are all tourists that they won’t see again anyway. They want a quick turnover of tables. We are local, we have been before & had an excellent meal & that’s why we chose to go back. After this experience we definitely won’t be. Drinks & starters were £130. Save your money & get better food, go to La Lupa’s.

It's a lovely atmosphere by the harbour with lovely staff who looked after us. Food was very nice. However, they did get one of us the wrong order which was the napoli pasta rather than spaghetti bolognese but they were very apologetic and offered to take it back and make the right dish. All in all, a lovely place for dinner

This restaurant is extremely overpriced for the quality of food and service. The service was one of the strangest experiences I'd ever had. One of us barely touched the chicken dish as it was tough as a boot. We asked for it to be taken off the bill, and the response from the waiter was that he'd done a callback 2 minutes after we received the food, and said we were happy, so the best they can offer is 10% off. In addition, we were misled as to what the waiting time would be. When we arrived, we were told it'd be a roughly 30 minute wait. In reality, it took an hour and 10 minutes from ordering to get our food. When we pointed this out, the waiter tried to gaslight us into thinking we were told this all along. The interior is very dated, and the tables are very sticky. They've also tried to maximise their revenue by putting too many tables and chairs inside, making it difficult to manoeuvre around. It's not very accessible. It's pretty clear this restaurant views their customers as transient tourists and believe they don't need to offer service and food which matches their prices. Save your money and go elsewhere. There are far nicer, and cheaper, Italian restaurants in Poole.

If you want to be able to talk to your partner without shouting don't go here. Noisy, chaotic and overpriced. The owner walked around with his flies undone, the assistant manager was shouting across the restaurant to his staff. We had five different staff over the course of our meal. No one checked whether our food was ok. The portions were small and overpriced eg. The over salted mackerel pate was four marble size balls with four slithers of butter and four tiny bits of stale bread £10.99. My husband red wine was cold. They didn't clear the table of the spare glasses, etc so we had little space and the tables either side of us were so close we could hear each others conversations. It felt like an expensive Italian wetherspoons

So we tried to find the drive through but drove past the inner entrance once on inner road and ended up exiting! While I'd have been inclined to feel a little stupid, with 2 of us not noticing until too late, it is clear the lack of signage to say turn left/adverts pointing that way, is an issue. Couldn't be bothered to go all the way around again on the roundabout. Also, the entrance is immediately off the junction that is easily missed if you are heading into the roundabout (away from Costa) on that road...thwarted by the layout!

We popped in with friends, quite late in afternoon, at the weekend. Staff were really friendly, and went out their way to make some late food to go with our coffee. Sandwiches were excellent both in quality and quantity. Oh, also, I could not resist the CHOCOLATE Fudge cake. Not sure if I should thank you for the extra “pounds”, but I couldn’t help myself..Many Thanks
