Del Marco in Bournemouth

First class service and first class food. Starters, main course and wine were exceptionally good. And excellent value for money. I wish we lived closer to Bournemouth. Would visit often

We booked this place for a date evening,we where welcomed by the waiter who was understaffed but helpful and upbeat,I ordered a pepperoni pizza but asked for it to be made calzone he said I will ask the chef but should be fine,10 minutes later a calzone appeared and had mushrooms inside it which I cannot eat,I told the waiter and he was very apologetic as he didn’t know why there where mushrooms in,5 minutes later I received a normal pizza I questioned this and said why is it not calzone to be told the chef wouldn’t do it as only 1 chef,im not sure by he couldn’t do it as he already done it wrong once before and refused too,tbf I told them I wasn’t paying for the pizza and I got a free morreti, I Luke to go back ally of hype around this place.

Fantastico best Italian by day In Bournemouth. Staff and owners are fabulous, the food is fantastic. Highly recommend to family, friends couples and business. Ding miss out in this real Italian gem.

An amanzing dinner and lovely staff!! It's one of the best italian place in town !! Definetly recomand

The food was exceptional and the service even better!!! The restaurant was clean and tidy and the staff couldn’t do enough for us x

Fantastic, authentic Italian food. Excellent choice on menu. Really friendly, helpful staff/owner. Very reasonable prices.

Visited on Saturday evening 2nd April. Calzone pizza was amazing!!! All the Staff were friendly and attentative. Restaurant was lovely and clean. I wouldn`t hesitate to visit again next time I`m in Bournemouth.

Everything we had was delicious and there was a real sense of welcome. We would definitely go again if we are ever in the area. We tried the pizza and the pasta and both were basically faultless!

We came across this restaurant whilst walking around looking for a place to eat. From the moment we entered the premises we was treated excellently by the staff. Drinks were quick to come and we took our time looking through the menu and ordering, the food was delivered promptly and hot. Very very good food, I had lasagne, and others in the party had the pasta or a pizza. The dessert was to die for, we all had lotus cheesecake which is highly recommended. With drinks the total price for starter, mains, desserts under £100 which for four of us we thought was brilliant. Will definitely be back when we come to Bournemouth next.

Highly Recommend this restaurant they couldn’t do enough for us.Went with my wife and daughter and will definitely return next time we are in Bournemouth..Pasta Carbonara was beautiful.Very reasonably priced..

There new premises is fresh and clean, and there menu has a great section, my little boy and my mother loves coming here, and edd makes us all feel very welcome. If your looking for somewhere welcoming and friendly then look no further.

A new premises, modern fresh decor and very clean. The next thing you notice is that everyone is a regular and greeted by their first names. We went twice this week for lunch. The pizza was light, thin base cooked to perfection with no soggy or burnt bottom (my absolute pet hates). The tomato sauce was so tasty and all the ingredients high quality. I had the carbonara (as recommended in reviews) it was divine, rich, creamy and eggy in the most perfect way and my husband had the lasagne which was good too - I didn't get a look in!!

Me and my parents went for dinner here. We were seated right away and received great service all night. There was a great variety on the menu to choose from so no one had any problems finding anything to their liking. The food was fresh and delicious and the tiramisu was a dream. Can’t wait to visit again

Loved this restaurant in it's old premises and was devastated to see it had shut down. It was always our primary reason for dropping into Bournemouth to enjoy a superb lunch. So absolutely over the moon to have visited DelMarco today in it's new, bright larger premises in Albert Road (love the wall tiles in the toilet). Hurrah! Welcome back. As always excellent food, brilliant, friendly staff. Looking forward to many more delicious food.

I can’t recommend this place enough! We visit the restaurant every time we go to Bournemouth - the best pizza you can get in the UK and very friendly people! Also very affordable and have amazing lunch deals

Best Italian food we have eaten, especially the carbonara, we will definitely be returning. Would thoroughly recommend!!

We visited twice during a recent trip to Bournemouth. We were made very welcome by Ed whilst Kas was in charge of the food. Light thin dough with plenty of topping on the pizzas and plenty of sauce on the pasta. Excellent value for money and great to be able to support an independent instead of a chain.

Amazing pizza and lovely people. Can’t recommend enough. The best pizza outside Italy no doubt. Delicious

We eat pizzas here a few times a month and the quality is consistently excellent. Great value for money

The food is amazing, such a reasonable price, and the staff were very friendly. Great relaxed atmosphere.

El tablero A me llamó la atención y ciertamente no me arrepiento de haber venido para la oferta de la hora del almuerzo. Base de pizza crujiente perfecta con la cobertura perfecta de tomate, mozzarella y champiñones. Una fuerte arabiatta, pimiento picante y salsa de tomate con ajo y una generosa ración de parmesano. El aceite de chile para agregar a la pizza fue un buen toque. Regado con un vaso de moretti y rosa. Buena comida, excelente relación calidad-precio, buen servicio.

Excellent carbonara and house red wine with friendly attentive service . Good value for money especially the lunch time menu

Jantamos 3 dias durante nossa estadia, pizza maravilhosa, pasta deliciosa, preço muito bom e serviço bom. Vale a pena comer nesse lugar.

The most delicious Italian in town. Pizzas are flavourful and traditional. Bolognese is our favourite dish here. Want to know the secret to the recipes. Staff are super friendly and helpful. Cant get enough.

Attended for a large family meal. Every dish was lovely and full of flavour. The staff were lovely. For the amount of food we got it was a greet price. Would highly recommend visiting.

Ed and family at Del Marco are so welcoming. The pasta is the best I’ve ever had. The children love the garlic pizza bread!

Great pizza and pasta takeaway during COVid19 social distancing , we cycled past and saw a sign advertising pizza so we stopped and weren’t disappointed as the food was great !

Having taken refuge in this Cafe/Bar from Storm Dennis I decided to try the menu on offer....Service was wonderful and Welcoming- and the food (Italian) was fantastic...good price and excellent quality

Yet another very enjoyable visit to Del Marco. Very friendly service, lovely food, well prepared and presented, and superb value for money. Have been here many times with the family and enjoyed every visit. My only comment, if I had to make one, was that it should be open in the evenings so we could visit of a night time. But other than that, I strongly recommend you avoid the High Street offerings and visit this lovely Italian style restaurnat and you too will keep wanting to come back...

Best coffee in Dorset great customer focused service from nice people. Very central for a shopping trip smashing place all round.

항상 사람이 많지만 스탭이 매우 친절합니다. 피자, 파스타 모두 맛있고 특히 런치 스페셜은 저렴한 가격에 음료까지 즐길 수 있어서 좋아요. 피자는 1인 1피자 가능한 크기입니다.

All the food is really really good, but the carbonara is just the best I've ever tasted. Really friendly owner who always recognises us and welcomes us and asks about the family. I recommend it to everyone. Definitely a "hidden gem"

Lejos de las calles principales, pero de fácil acceso, este es un restaurante encantador en el corazón de Bournemouth. Es muy agradable encontrar un lugar que sirva comida realmente buena, a precios atractivos, pero para personas que realmente se preocupan por lo que producen.Manténgase alejado de las cadenas de cafeterías y visite esta pequeña joya

Excelente servicio y restaurante independiente super amable. La comida es realmente deliciosa y una excelente relación calidad-precio. 6) 90 para una pizza o plato de pasta y una bebida que es genial! Aunque tengo que tener en cuenta que solo es efectivo, pero eso no debería ser un problema ya que hay 2 bancos a menos de un minuto a pie.

Have been a customer at wonderful restaurant/café, Del Marco, for about two years; Great customer service and plentiful banter. Coffee and pastries excellent, lunches too and very good value.

Locale molto carino e arredato bene. Pulito. Servizio veloce e personale gentile. Abbiamo preso due pizza Margherita, visto che era la prima volta che ci andavamo appositamente per mangiare una pizza. Una delle migliori pizze a Bournemouth. Non è la classica pizza italiana alta e morbida ma è sottile, non croccante, e leggera. Di sicuro non potevamo pretendere di mangiare una pizza "originale" napoletana, ma non è stata una delusione. Alcune pietanze del menù non sono per nulla italiane, ma vabbè saranno per la clientela "non italiana". Di sicuro ci ritorneremo per assaggiare gli antipasti.

A very fast and extreme polute service and excelent food! I can just recommend this restaurant! Everything perfect

One of our favourite lunchtime restaurants, we visit regularly and have always left satisfied. The service is efficient and very welcoming. The main lunchtime menu of pasta and pizza is a bargain, two meals with soft drinks under £14 can't be beat, both good quality and very tasty. It's also nice for an afternoon tea and cake, with a selection of chocolate, coffee and walnut etc, also very reasonably priced. It has a continental cafe style atmosphere with posters of Italy as well as the ubiquitous AFC Bournemouth scarf! One thing to note is it's cash only, no cards but with these prices it's not a problem!

Good Italian food, fantastic cakes, great for lunch after shopping, good location just around the corner from the Square and all major shops, good value, friendly helpful staff. Recommended.

Yo, mi esposa y mi hija de 1 año y medio tuvimos un muy buen almuerzo básico: pizza de pepperoni para mi esposa y penne pepperonata pasta para mí y nuestra hija tenía algunos de los dos. Tuve un pequeño café con leche y mi esposa tenía una lata de coca cola con su pizza, ya que era parte de su rango de almuerzo.

Encontré este pequeño restaurante en la calle principal. Gran servicio. Tomé un té y una cerveza con un delicioso pollo y un panini de queso y pimientos asados. Bill llegó a aproximadamente 15, el restaurante no acepta tarjetas. Muy deliciosa. También encantadoras tartas y pasteles. Vale la pena una visita.

No sabía qué esperar ya que solo buscaba un lugar que no fuera un restaurante de cadena y encontré a Del Marco para el almuerzo. La pizza era fantástica, y solo costaba 6. 95 con una bebida fría. El personal es amable y acogedor, me encantó!

Excellent pizzas, great pastas, excellent service. Lunch price is very good value. Visit often and always made very welcome. My wife has lactose intolerance and pizza and coffee are done specially for her. Brilliant

We use Del Marco on a regular basis meeting up with friends. We usually go for lunch and opt for the set menu. This is a choice of 3 pasta dishes or 3 different pizzas and a soft drink for £6.90. Their pizzas are fabulous and on a thin base. They also have an alcohol license. You can also go just for a coffee or coffee and pastry.

Went there today with family and friends, I have never tried a better pizza in whole of Bournemouth, everything was so perfect the dough perfectly cooked amazing toppings fresh tomato sauce , will definitely go back any day of the week absolutely amazing well done Del Marcos

Este café es genial para un café y pasteles por la mañana. El café está bien caliente y la bollería caliente. Muchos asientos, pero tenga en cuenta que hay pasos de la acera. Inusualmente solo aceptan efectivo - sin tarjetas. Está a pocos metros de la principal calle comercial de Beales.

Regularmente del Marco para su oferta de almuerzo. Pasta y pizza fantástica, muy bien de precio. El personal es siempre muy servicial y te hacen sentir muy acogedor. Continuaré visitando del Marco. Lo único que diría es que dinero en efectivo porque no aceptan tarjetas; si no puedes caminar por la ciudad rápidamente y conseguir el efectivo y volver al restaurante.

Whole family popped in for lunch today after recommendation from a friend. We certainly weren’t disappointed. Really friendly service with fantastic pizza and pasta. All very reasonably priced at £6.90 for meal and drink per person in the express lunch deal 👍 would definitely recommend

We found Del Marco whilst walking around the shopping streets of Bournemouth in search of somewhere that serves a simple light lunch. On spotting the restaurant it looked exactly what we needed.

This friendly coffee bar has a relaxing interior and serves lovely coffee. I wasn’t hungry but the food looked OK. It’s a bit off pitch but worth the extra few yards to get away from the usual coffee chains.

Visitado este restaurante en varias ocasiones para el almuerzo. Esta vez fuimos con mi esposa y mi hija, y aprovechamos el menú de almuerzo muy razonable. Todos optamos por la pizza, te dan la opción de Margarita, Pepperoni, o de hongos. Las pizzas son recién preparados y cocinados rápidamente en su horno de pizza. Pedí chili en mina y sin cargo extra, a diferencia de la mayoría de los restaurantes de pizza de cadena. Incluso comprado chili de aceite para mí, por si acaso. . . .

We visited Del Marco and the food was excellent together with the very friendly staff made our lunch very enjoyable, thank you

Good, tasty coffee and excellent service and good location near Old Christchurch Road. Lived locally for 15 years and first time I have been in there. Overall excellent.

Pop in here most days for coffee and cake.nice staff good service. Ed one of the owners is a nice guy. Thoroughly recommend.

Del Marco está a un tiro de piedra de mi trabajo y es ideal para un bocado rápido para comer a la hora del almuerzo. Entré hoy y aunque no era enormemente concurrido, tenía suficiente gente para crear un buen ambiente. El personal es muy...

Très bon restaurant familial italien... J'ai testé une pizza,: très bonne et un Gaston au citron : très bien aussi....

Este es un genuino café italiano que ofrece un servicio excelente y un gran café. El personal es amable y servicial y hay un ambiente familiar sobre el lugar. Recomendado.

¡Fue genial! Fui con mi madre, hermana, esposa de ser amigo y novia. Tengo que decir que lo pasamos muy bien y sin duda volveremos! Es una pena que no hay uno en southampton!

He estado dos veces en rápida sucesión y ambas ocasiones ha sido fantástico. El personal ha sido atento y la calidad de la comida excelente. La pizza en el segundo viaje que pedimos estaba en la parte trasera de ver el delicioso que hubiera colocado en frente de mi hija sólo unos días antes en nuestra primera visita. La comida llega rápidamente y juntos. Estoy muy impresionado y es un definitivo nuevo de mis favoritos. Precios razonables y atención claramente sobre lo que plato. Bien hecho del Marco.

No hay mucho que escribir un tradicional llevar con ofrecen almuerzo, todos los productos son frescos, pero no por los precios que bien, espero que no cambian los precios porque no se relación calidad-precio.

This is a really nice independent, serving great Italian sandwiches, panini's, pasta and good pizza. The lunch deal is fantastic and the staff have been consistently friendly and attentive for the many years I have been frequenting it. The atmosphere is nice and relaxed and clientele ranging from business people to language students. I always take clients here for a business lunch and they always come out smiling. Highly recommended :)

We have eaten here several times and each time the food has been amazing, Pasta Al Fredo is my favourite here, top quality chicken with fresh pasta, clean toilets and floor and good spacing between tables etc.We eat here often because of the high quality.

Very nice Italian dining experience. Authentic, family feel. FYI we found best value nearby parking at St Paul's Lane, BH8 8AJ!

Del Marco, have a great choice of pizzas and pasta, all freshly made and great quality. The service and food is very good.

Sometimes I eat here on my own, sometimes with a couple of friends, but this time there were TEN of us. As usual, the owner and staff were friendly and helpful, the range of food eaten by the group was fabulous (my vegetarian pizza is the best in town) and there was no problem with one person only having coffee, and one person arriving late and only having dessert. The prices are good and those who hadn't eaten here before were very impressed. We haven't found anywhere locally yet with better pizzas.

Nous étions 5, avons été servis rapidement avec de très bonnes pizzas. Plutôt bon marché. Service rapide. Musique assez forte. En plein centre ville. Je recommande.

The pizza was delicious. Good value. Very friendly helpful staff, we had our 3 year old with us and he was warmly welcomed, staff found us a highchair. Will be coming back when we can for a treat

I had wonderful spaghetti carbonara recently and it was the best one I have ever have! Pizza is also very tasty

Je conseille vivement ce restaurant si vous passez par Bournemouth ou si vous y habitez pur une durée déterminée. Le personnel est agréable, très accueillant et la cuisine : très bonne. Je ne suis jamais déçue en allant là bas.

Posto ottimo per la sua dislocazione in quanto è adiacente al centro.Ho ordinato una pizza margherita ed onestamente era buona. Sapore italiano.Consiglio vivamente di prendere l'espresso lì se avete l'esigenza di bere un caffè italiano dopo tanto tempo! Soldi spesi beni!

Absolutely yummy sourdough pizza, even more so if you add théir chilli oil. In fact, am féeling péckish just writing this.

The last time i had pizza this good was in Rome excellent first class authentic pizza like you'd get in Italy a lovely dough base not at all like the cardboard bases served by the large chains and tasty simple toppings just like proper Italian pizza should be excellent value and a first class service would highly recommend for groups of friends or family treats the express lunch is great value but also the standard priced pizza is great value at roughly £8 each well worth a visit.

Had lunch here today with my family.The staff was very friendly and the food very tasty.My wife had penne arrabiatta and I had the spaghetti al tonno,both very good.I will definitely go back!

We visited Del Marcos with a couple of dedicated lunchtime regulars. The restaurant is small but perfectly formed, the staff were very friendly and service was well paced. Opting for the excellent value lunch special, the choice was understandably limited but, the food was very decent. The pizzas were very good and the Bolognese was plentiful and tasty. I'm not sure there was anything outstanding enough for us to make the trip from Christchurch for a night out but, when in Bournemouth, we will definitely lunch again.Next time we will go beyond the specials and give Del Marcos a chance to shine. Watch this space. For now, a very solid lunch stop option.

Siamo stati qui in compagnia di un amico trasferitosi a Bournemouth pochi mesi fa. Abbiamo ordinato tre pizze, tutte molto buone!! Zona centrale della città, perciò posizione comoda!Staff gentile (non italiano, ma lo parlano!). Buon pranzo, consigliato!!

Per favore non etichettiamo qualsiasi ristorante come italiano quando non è così. Alcuni piatti in Italia non esistono!Detto questo: cucina normale. E prezzo normale.

Went there for a friend's birthday dinner. We were welcomed by well presented staff members. Waited a bit for a table, but that to be expected because is a busy restaurant and not so big. The food was good. I will say best Italian I had by far, way better than zizi and prezzo!!! Well recommended. The desert is to die for.Well recommended .

We had our lunch here. Pizza and a drink for 6.90. It was perfect. Service was very quick and very attentively. A recommandation from us is well deserved.

Nothing wrong with the place, but nothing to make it stand out either. My husband enjoyed his penne arrabiata, my jacket potato was microwaved, and just looked bland on the plate. Tasted ok. Service was good with pleasant waitresses. Cost on average for area.

Aran Lovely food ,very welcoming atmosphere and staff. Fresh food and quick service.What more can you ask for.

We come to this place at least once a week for lunch! My 4 year old daughter loves the place and the food, so do we. Cannot believe someone could say the food is not good! That's just wrong!!! The staff is great, the chef is great, the owners are hard workers, and it's really affordable to have lunch there! We love it, cannot fault them in anyway! Well done guys ;)

My boyfriend and I went here for lunch when we came across it during a shopping day, I had the penne aribiatta and he had the cabonara. The service was wonderful as was the food! Friendly staff who can't do enough for you, the aribiatta was a little to spicy for me but was still delicious, and the cabonara was beautifully creamy. Will definitely go again to try their coffee and cake :)

popped in for a lunch time snack the food was excellent everything about the service was goodif you are looking for a reasonably priced meal try them

The only restaurant in Bournemouth I can never ever get enough of!The coffee, spaghetti bolognaise and price are just spot on. The staff are super friendly, polite and helpful, great buzzing atmosphere. Couldn't speak highly enough of it. Big love to you all and thank you for making my lunch times at work so much more bearable!

Good place to go for coffee any time of day and the lunchtime menu is nice quality and good value. The current lunchtime meal deal includes a choice of pasta dishes or pizzas.

Go to Delmarcos very often with family & friends. And it's. Always perfect. Great service and staff. Pizzas are wonderful. Good value. Never been disappointed My favourite place in Bournemouth 10/ 10. Well done Lee

Visited here for lunch we had chicken panini and the pasta arabica, with two coffees.The chicken was dry and the pasta was a little hard, the coffee was bitter and we could not pay by card as they were changing banks, so it was cash only.Disappointing.

The lunch menu is wonderful value and the food is very good. It also does possibly the best espresso in Bournemouth. The owners are very personable and make you feel very welcome.

Love to come in or takeaway a quick coffee. Lunch is fab and cheap too with only a few special deal options, but very very tasty nonetheless!

Had a few hours to kill before dinner and needed a coffee. The coffee was good and the cakes looked inviting.

Excellent food and and very welcoming staff.it is lovely to see an independent small bussiness doing rather good.so much need it in this day and age, when we are being surrounded by big chains,where you are JUST A NUMBER.

I thought I would give Del Marco a try for their £5.99 lunch time meal and soft drink offer. I hadn't seen the place before so really didnt know what to expect. On entering the place we were greeted by a very cheerful member of staff who showed us to our table. I dont think it is a chain so was really refreshing to visit somewhere that didnt have the standard corporate chain decor. So on to the meal. I was expecting perhaps a large slice of Pizza with my drink (Tango). I was really suprised to get a complete mushroom pizza. I must confess to being an absolute Pizza addict and have tried them across the world. I can honestly say this was right up there with the best, lovely base, superb toppings and the chili oil I added made it perfect. My partner had coffee and coffee cake which she said was lovely, I cant comment as I was offered none! Well don Del Marco, I look forward to my next visit.

We went for the £5.95 express lunch on a Saturday. We both had a pasta dish which was served quickly, good sized portions and included a drink. Couldn't fault it really!

Just, the best Italian restaurant in all Britain, the food is outstanding, cheap prices and a great service, I used to go there quite often for having lunch and I never regretted it, even my Italian fiends themselves say it is the best, surely one of the best places for going in Bournemouth.

Went with my girlfriend and son after a recommendation from a friend, warm welcome at the door and seated quickly.Menu brought over and the lunch deal explained, ordered 2 pizza and a pasta dish with drinks, food arrived quickly and tasted fantastic.Lunchtime deal at £5.90 including a drink is very good value and we all left feeling full and very impressed, will return soon.

Had oven baked jacket potato with Mexican chicken served with fresh salad and coleslaw. (Amazing).Wife had penne Alfredo topped up with parmesan cheese.she loved it.Service great,Definitely recommend this.

I have coffee here daily and lunch once a week. The service is good and friendly, the pizza / pasta lunch deal is excellent and the location great. The place is warm and friendly and somewhere I look forward to visiting.

Reviews were good so three of us went for lunch and were very disappointed. One had pasta which was thick with cream and cheap parmesan, which she left. Two of us had jacket potatoes which were microwaved and clearly not oven baked as advertised. Cheap coleslaw. Waitress was not interested in feedback. Awful and will not return

I am Italian and I have found in this place the same quality for pasta and pizza that I would find in Italy. I was indeed impressed. I went there with a group of 15 friends. We were able to reserve beforehand and the manager did his best to fit us comfortably despite the small size of the restaurant. The prices are really affordable and the service very attentive and timely even despite the size of our group! Will definitely come back

Have been here a few times for lunch where there is a great lunchtime menu at a reasonable cost and generous portions. Service good, staff very pleasant and attentive and our grandchildren love it! Would highly recommend.
