Rude and arrogant We made a booking and told them we were bringing our dog, got confirmed booking. When we turned up, told them had booking and before could even say anything else,was told dogs are not allowed. Explained that we emailed that we were bringing our dog and were told again no dogs allowed, front of house was rude and arrogant, never even got offered to eat outside which we would have done. At least have the decency to say in the confirmed booking that dogs are not allowed, not just accept another booking. Lucky another establishment in the area had a slot to welcome us.

Outstanding in Every Way! La Pergola in Lyndhurst is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable—attentive, friendly, and truly made us feel like valued guests. The food was simply outstanding. And the desserts? Absolutely divine! Each one was a masterpiece, the perfect sweet ending to a flawless meal. La Pergola is more than just a restaurant—it’s an experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for exceptional Italian cuisine and top-notch service. We’ll definitely be returning!

Having driven past this place many times down the years, and often thought what an interesting, eye-catching restaurant it looks, we finally booked (essential) ourselves in for a Saturday lunch, and wow, what a fabulous time we had, how could we not have properly discovered it before. More fools us. Established in 1997 and still run by the Passarelli family, it is obviously super-popular. This is not a place for modernness, its rustic charm/ambience takes us through 20 plus years of business and the odds and sods, trinkets, bottles and artefacts just add wonderful character to the all-embracing Italian charm that is the spirit of La Pergola. We asked about the history of the place and our two helpers, Sarah (family) and Billa, couldn't have been more friendly and instructive, telling us about the family connections, and also guiding us through the sumptuous a la carte and specials menus. There is everything here that a lover of Italian food could wish for, seriously. My guest chose to have two starters (coming out together, same time as my main course), Mozzarella in Carrozza & Gamberoni and I had the Vitello Alla Milanese – breaded escalope of veal with spaghetti napoletana. Out of this world, so good. Tempted as we were by the amazing dessert menu, we were just too well fed at this stage so will make allowances next time and tuck in for a pud. All in all this was a first rate, wholly enjoyable experience start to finish, it is a very special place. Price-wise this is not a cheap eaterie, nor shold it be, it is top-end quality, and it shows. (Expect to pay £30+ pp without alcohol). Thank you for looking after us so magnificently, we will definitely be coming back again, soon. 5/5 stars. C & M.

Great food and the staff are fantastic. Catered to dietary requirements well (vegetarian and gluten intolerance). The only thing that stops it being 5 stars was how close the tables are together, they've crammed even more in since I last visited. You are practically touching elbows with the tables next to you. Due to this it takes a while to be served and is tough to catch someone's attention. It also got very warm, but the staff were happy to open some windows. The staff were great though with a friendly and humorous attitude. Very busy - book in advance, and don't wear a jumper in here!

This family run restaurant had been recommended to us and we were not disappointed. We were also advised to book and were very glad we had, as the restaurant was full even though it was a Tuesday night. The menu was quite extensive and all the food we had was excellent - from a simple starter such as garlic mushrooms or parma ham and melon, to the main courses ranging from pasta and breast of chicken with various sauces to lamb shank in a red wine jus. We even had room for dessert - a huge slice of banoffee pie and a tiramisu. The staff were very friendly and we were served in a timely manner even though it was busy, which is great to see. As we were staying in Lyndhurst we could walk to the restaurant (an easy 10 minute walk from the centre of the village) but there is the benefit of a car park at La Pergola. We would definitely book here again when in the area.

Went for a birthday dinner and although this is clearly at odds with the majority, we thought it was “nothing special”. The dining area is very crowded and noisy, the food is good (but not great) and our three courses seemed to be served at pace. The waitress was very pleasant and helpful. We probably won’t go again. Maybe our expectations were set too high.

Visited twice in the last few weeks, first time in a group of three couples, second time with my wife on our own. On both occasions we loved the food and enjoyed the generally busy atmosphere, the service and the decor. I always prefer a starter and main when eating out, I generally find desserts in restaurants over priced morsels. Not here though. Really reasonably priced, really very good and generous portion - as is true with all the food. Worth mentioning that when my wife and I visited we started with bread and olives, had mains and desserts, soft drinks, water and a bottle of wine - all for under £100. Excellent value.

Another great experience at La Pergola. We have visited a couple of time before over the years and the standard of food and service does not falter. We shared a rosemary and garlic bread before our pasta dishes. Both were very tasty, with beautifully cooked pasta. The desserts are always amazing and we shared a lemon meringue roulade which was delicious. There is a reason why La Pergola is always busy and you need to book. It is a lovely experience of Italian dining.

We have been coming here for the best part of 25 years now and is and has always been one of our go to restaurants. Last night 4 of us visited, the place was rammed as usual but our table was waiting for us. The menu is traditional with many items on it having been on there for the past 25 years but that is no bad thing. A decent sized menu with many main courses and separate pasta and pizza sections but it’s the specials that are always worth trying. Last night it was a starter of crostini with crab, chilli and lemon as a starter followed by sea bream with a bed tomatoes, olives and peppers and side veggies. Both were magnificent, stunning flavours and good fresh fish. I was pretty full but the desserts are a must here so the white chocolate praline with caramelised pecans and crème anglais was a no brainer and wow I loved it. Great place, friendly staff and always good service, despite me going home and complaining about how stuffed I was !!!

Wow, completly blown away, cannot fault the food, the staff and the atmosphere. As we had the dog in tow we sat outside, but the staff were just as attentive. After ordering our starters arrived promptly, my wife ordered the Mozzarella carrozza, which she assures me was fantastic. I had the fritura di verdure, the fried mixed vegetables came with a stunning homemade garlic dip. My wife's main was the truly lovely cannelloni stuffed with pork, beef and ham in a napolitina sauce topped with, Mozzarella, with a side of pizza al rosario e again. I had the Orecchietti with Italian fennel sausage meat, chilli and tomatoes in a cream sauce. It was divine. Sadly we were to full to try the homemade desserts. But we highly recommend this restaurant. If you have not been go, well worth it.

Really impressed. It's definitely a step back in time. But, in a good way. No apps, no check in etc. We booked a table for 8pm, turned up at 8 and we were shown straight away to a table, properly set out with table cloth, glasses and cutlery. Despite the restaurant being full we got our drinks very quickly, ordered our food with no pressure. The starters came out quickly and when we were finished the plates were cleared quickly. The mains came out quickly and were all massive and tasted amazing. The deserts were all huge and clearly made on site. They were amazing. There was no pressure to buy drinks and all the serving staff were extra friendly and attentive. The bill came promptly when we asked and was correct. It made me realise how things used to be done, when they were done properly before chain restaurants. Highly recommended.

Absolutely lovely place! Luckily we booked beforehand as it was very, very busy and I can see why. It’s the best restaurant for literally everything - the authentic decor, the atmosphere, the staff, the layout, the outside eating area and of course the food. Had an amazing evening. Very welcoming, cosy and had a romantic feel to it. The food was outstanding and the portions were very generous. We had a starter, main and dessert and couldn’t fault anything at all, it was delicious and full of flavour. Our waitress Laura was amazing. Always smiling, very attentive, filling up our wine on passing, seeing if everything was ok etc. It was all those extra little touches that made our evening special. What a top notch Lady and a true asset to a lovely little restaurant. What a perfect last experience before going home the next morning after spending a week in the New Forest. The only downside is that the restaurant is two and a half hours from home, I only wish it was local to us 😢

First time here and absolutely loved it. Really friendly staff. Epic decor - comfortingly reminiscent of the 1990's. The food was on another level, clearly all home cooked, nicely presented and enormous portions. The puddings were the best (and biggest) we've ever had. All four of us chose different meals and puddings and there was nothing we all didn't love.

Went to celebrate my husband’s 70th birthday and unexpectedly had our eight year old grandson to stay so he joined us. On arrival we waited at the appointed spot and were impatiently beckoned to the bar by the Maitre d’. When I explained we had an extra diner, his displeasure was obvious and when I further explained I had expected we could fit one more on our table, he again displayed his annoyance by disabusing me of this assumption in an abrupt manner with an accompanying sour facial expression. The waitress stepped in before he could continue with his rude manner and she could’t have been more helpful, assisting us to shoehorn in another place setting whilst not affecting the thoroughfare. She even kindly arranged for us to move tables shortly after when a party of 4 came in as two. The waiting staff are great, pleasant and helpful and the food is good. The tables are very close together and packed in tightly. Sadly I have suffered the Maitre D’s unpleasant and unprofessional attitude before so this is the second time. He has been working there for 20 years plus and clearly needs a refresher customer care course and to learn from his waiting staff how to be pleasant, polite, helpful and SMILE!!

Came here on a busy Saturday night. We pre-booked which was a good idea as I doubt there were any tables available for walk-ins. The food was brilliant. Had a simple carbonara, being an Italian-run restaurant you would expect it to be too-notch authentic and it didn't disappoint. I noticed on the next table all but one also chose carbonara. I don't know how if that was a coincidence or a tacit further recommendation! All in all the food was good, the tables were close-packed and all busy so as expected this isn't the place to go if you just want a quiet intimate evening. My wife says it is a good sign if a place is busy with locals and it was certainly that, so another thumbs up The staff were busy as you would expect, but friendly and attentive. The car park was very full when we arrived and we bagged one of the last vacant spots. As we left we could see cars parked nearby on the verge

I loved the maple and pecan dessert, definitely a chef’s kiss! The service were fantastic as well, the staff were all nice, we had a gentleman (sorry we didn’t got his name) served us and he was very entertaining and we when said we were so full with our main course he gave us a bit of a time to give the desserts.

We enjoyed a delicious very reasonably priced lunch. Cannelloni, Beef stew and the liver/bacon - all 10/10. The desserts were as usual magnificent. We were looked after really well by the excellent staff. With the quality of food they served, not surprised how well patronised the restaurant was in mid week.

Great tasting food, lovely service and warm setting. We love the seafood dishes without any alcohol added.

This has become the restaurant that my wife and I default to. It's the perfect mix of great food and atmosphere. A lovely place to grab lunch or spend the evening.

This is a wonderful place to go for an authentic Italian dining experience. The food was first class and the service was just as good. At first it seemed like it was going to be quite expensive. But, when we thought about it we all had a main course, dessert and a drink and it worked out at around £35 per person which was amazing value for what we had. To give you an idea of how good this place is, we had to book because it was so busy in January!

Visited today for lunch. Food was fantastic. My salmon was cooked to perfection and the banoffee was the best I have ever tasted. The service we received from all staff was perfect, especially Georgie who is an absolute credit to your team. I will definitely be recommending this lovely restaurant to my family and friends.

Was surprised how busy it was on a Tuesday evening, we soon found out. Lovely food, you need to leave room for the desserts. It was our daughter's 21st and they made it special, will be going back soon.

First visit and very disappointed. Food was average, had better at home!! Felt like we were being rushed and they could wait for us to leave ready for next sitting. Will not be returning!!

Customers for 20years plus for celebrations, special dinners and supporting a local restaurant during the pandemic. Have no doubt, after conversation with the owner they will find a reason to counteract my review. Arrived 7.15 and order taken immediately. Starter arrived quickly and was delicious. 50 minute wait for main course, also delicious. When we had to leave at 9pm for taxi we were told we needed to allow at least 2 hours for a starter and main!! We were told our steaks (34.95 each) were binned, because my husband hadn't eaten his starter quickly enough. Unbelievable. As local and as people who would recommend for lunch and dinner we are beyond disappointed in their attitude.

Came for a family gathering in the upstairs room and wanted to say how impressed I was with the food and how attentive the staff were. I will definitely be back and if I were local would definitely ask them to cater for future events amazing. Atmosphere was also lovely

Honestly incredible!!! The menu had a fantastic range on it and we really enjoyed that you could pick your pasta and sauce to your individual want. I had the tomato sauce with meatballs and the flavours were fantastic. My partner had a mushroom based sauce and it had plenty of flavour and had a great amount of mushrooms. The service was brilliant and the girls were really attentive and made us super comfortable. They made sure there was room for our pram as we gave them advanced warning on the form and they were super smiley. Will 100% be coming back here and have already recommended it to all our friends.
