Lovely little place, had a lovely quiet table upstairs- food was ….. OK.. unfortunately my nduja pizza (Calabria) had no nduja and that was my single main reason for choosing that dish- was still nice enough though- bread and olive starter was nice- great selection of breads.. what made our visit however were the staff- our waiter was great- (sorry didn’t catch his name- young male with dark hair) everything was served with a smile, very attentive without being over bearing and made me laugh throughout- a real credit to the restaurant and should be congratulated- thoroughly pleasant young gent.

Very disappointing. Garlic bread, could barely taste any garlic. Vegan Margarita Pizza. Spent more time trying to slice than anything else. The Pizza had what looked like tomato paste, NO tomato's and vegan cheese with the tiniest basil leaf thrown in the middle. A lot of money for the food we had. Sadly we shall not be returning.

Had a lovely lunch here on Friday, the food was really tasty and the atmosphere is great. There's a lot of Italian produce for sale and some very tasty Italian treats to have with coffee, I can highly recommend the pistachio cannoli!

Authentic and superb. One of the best of this genre on the south coast. Go pasta or other mains to optimise the experience..choosing a nice italian wine ...ooh. Never disappoints after several more visits

We decided to try Lovitaly on Wednesday night - it was very quiet and we were a little surprised that one of the “specials” was not available! Unfortunately the second choice was disappointing and quite tasteless. Also very shocked to receive the bill and see that a glass of wine was £14! We won’t be returning!

Popped in for a breakfast bagel and a coffee. Alex, Shen and the team were excellent on what was a busy day for the restaurant. A proper coffee made by people who know what good coffee looks. The breakfast bagel too was out of this world and really hit the mark. Love this place, a credit to Ringwood!!

My friend & myself booked for lunch. Food was fine. Sadly, we were not impressed by the hospitality. No friendly greeting, no smiles & overcharged. We will not be returning. Service is almost as important as the quality of the food.

Spectacularly good food. A real taste of Italy. The regional nights are to die for and get booked up quickly. 5 courses, paired with 5 wines and some spiel about the grapes, vineyard and how it matches the food. Currently £60 per person which for the quality of food and wine on offer is well worth it. The owners are lovely and very passionate about their business.

Great staff - friendly and approachable, welcoming. Ordered rigatone carbonara, portion was huge but very dry - no sauce and the pasta was hardly cooked - chewy would be an accurate description. The waitress said this is how the Italians eat it. I have visited Italy many times but have never had a carbonara like this. She offered an alternative but the appetite had gone. The wine was really good so all in all the experience was a bit of a mixed bag, but tbh we won't go back.

If you live in the area or are just visiting, give Lovitaly a try; you won't regret it. The ambience, the service and of course, the food were all first class and could not be faulted. We just had pizza but they were absolutely gorgeous and were very reasonably priced we thought. Just make sure you book early. We managed to get a slot at 6 o'clock and and hour later it was absolutely packed. Highly recommended.

The worst meat/cheese platter I’ve had to date… As soon as we put our order in we were told we were going to have to wait, which we were more than happy to but for what we received we wished we walked out. Charging £30 for two for the platter received is day light robbery. Very standard meat and cheeses, nothing special to warrant a higher price. It was similar cheeses you get at an all you can eat buffet, cheap. We queried the board as soon as it came out as we thought they may have accidentally done the platter for 1 but low and behold it was the platter for 2. The lady serving said they can do a board for 3/4 people which is similar to the one on the Instagram page but no where on the menu did it advise of further options and only told us this after we received the board of disappointment. We ate the meal as we weren’t going to spend £30 and not eat it. Barely touched the sides, practically a starter for 1. When we paid she asked how everything was and we honestly advise the board is no where near the value charging. She began to get defensive and said 1 piece of meat per person, and could have been upgraded but no mention of this anywhere whatsoever on menu or advised. She said the board posted on Instagram was for 3 people but you should not advertise a platter that is not available on the menu. I have never been so disappointed and there are so many other lovely places to eat in Ringwood really frustrated we wasted our time on this establishment. The customer service was so rude, not accommodating at all, no water for the table and all round rubbish service. We were only being honest with the feedback and felt completely misled for the price we have paid.

Having walked the streets of the beautiful village of Ringwood, many times, had coffee and eaten in almost every place, I have no idea, how I missed this little spot! Insignificant from the outside, but step inside and you will be treated to a taste of Italy! You know from the moment you walk through the door, that this will be a good experience! Clean, authentic, genuine Italian business with Artisan food and wines to showcase Italy’s beautiful produce. Having not eaten there before, I opted for the dish of the day which was a safe bet. A beautiful pear and pecorino ravioli. A simple, humble dish, what could go wrong? Well, absolutely nothing! In fact, all my expectations were exceeded and left me yearning for a next visit. Super little place, great atmosphere, really good food and lots of goodies to treat yourself to enjoy at home. Melt in the mouth pasta, bursting with flavour. Simple ingredients where the produce is respected and the food speaks for itself. Great for lunch, I am sure dinner is just as good and with some great quality wines, specialist collections, you can’t go too far wrong.

I also went for the Tuscan event as I was excited to eat the food from my home region. The food was authentic and well executed, each dish was paired to a glass of wine. The wine was well reasearched and came from top producers in Tuscany. They remain true to authentic Italian food and the quality of the food is great.
