Just about to change management but we've met the new owner. He guarantees lots of seafood. As he says " he's from Sicily so should know how to cook seafood". Looking forward to it.

Went here for a bottomless brunch. The staff didn't seem prepared in line with how it was advertised. They ran out of jugs for cocktails. My friend had dietary requirements which had been stated at booking but her food choices were very poor. The food otherwise was average quick and easy. The bottomless prosecco was good and the music brilliant 👏

We visited Mamma Mia and our experience wasn’t great. Firstly, we were given menus and a drinks one as well. We decided what we all wanted to drink but when we ordered, we were then told that there was no draught drink available, so two of us then had to decide again. Then we ordered our food. The man who took the order (might have been the owner) had to return and tell us that they only had two out of four of the items. So, for the second time, we had to decide again!! We also had a sharing garlic bread to have before the main courses came out. One of our party doesn’t like garlic bread so we ordered another starter to have at the same time but it arrived after the rest of us had finished the bread. The owner told us that that isn’t how it works and that the idea of the garlic bread was to be eaten whilst the rest of the order was being prepared. He also told me that I was wrong to not want the Mediterranean veg with my order because they are trying to produce authentic Italian meals. The reason I didn’t want them was because I am allergic to two of them. He didn’t seem to care about that. The place wasn’t that busy and I can see why. It’s a case of Mamma Mia here we don’t go again.

I am absolutely livid about the food I received from this restaurant and the appalling response from the owner after my complaint! I ordered a takeaway and got completely wrong items, which I discovered only after reaching home. When I called the restaurant, they refused to provide a refund or replacement, claiming the manager wasn't there. But when I finally reached the manager, they had the audacity to accuse me of lying! They claimed the pizzas in the pictures I sent, even though they were in their boxes, weren't theirs. Never received such shocking service and refusal to accept their mistakes !

Shocking service, cannot Believe what the owner has accused us of. Basically saying we made our own Pizzas to commit fraud. After they made a mistake getting the pizzas completely wrong. Now refusing to accept that the pizzas were even made by them Have receipts to prove it was purchased from here. Also it was the owner who took so long dealing with the matter even though the original complaint was made on the day. Do not go here worst customer service you will ever receive.

RUDE OWNER ACCUSED US OF FRAUD. My friends I ordered from here. When the pizzas arrived, they were wrong. We thought it was an honest mistake and phoned up to see if they could send out the correct pizzas and return the wrong ones. We were told that the manager was not in and that It couldn't be arranged for our correct order to be sent out. We asked for the owners contact information so we could follow up about getting a refund as we did not receive the pizzas we ordered. The following day we tried contacting the owner and got no response. We left text messages and received no response. Eventually the owner answered a phone call and said they would investigate the matter. Having received no response a few weeks later, we phoned the owner again. This time the owner was less courteous over the phone (presumably because we hadn’t just given up and accepted the terrible service) he accused my friends and I of buying pizzas from another place and putting them in their boxes to try and get a refund or free pizzas. At first we thought he was joking. Who has the time and effort to do all that for some free pizzas. I tried to explain that we normally order from here and don’t have an issue and have never asked for a refund before. It is really disappointing to receive this response and be treated in this way by the owner. We should mention the staff that we spoke to at the store were all helpful and apologetic. However we no longer order from here due to the rude and incompetent owner who does not value his customers. I suggest if you have a problem with a pizza you order from here to go straight back to the store and complain in person because they will just ignore you over the phone and hope you don’t care enough to chase it up.

I booked a meal at Mamma Mia through their website on 8.8.24 and had an automated email from "Table Agent" confirming the booking. On arriving at the restaurant last night we were told that the chef had gone on holiday and the restaurant was closed! I've now been told that their Facebook page indicates the restaurant is closed for maintenance until 3.9.24. Fortunately we were able to have a lovely meal in Seashells in Hythe which was very busy as it was a Friday night. Not happy that Mamma Mia did not get back to me to cancel the booking - there is nothing on their website to indicate they are currently closed.

Table was booked on line August 8th 2024. Email confirmation received Table had been booked for August 23 rd 2024. When we arrive we were told that the restaurant was closed as the chef was on two weeks holiday. There was no apology or empathy of our situation just an offer to go up to Med bar where we could buy a drink! I am disgusted with the whole service. How can a business run like this surely they are aware when the chef is on holiday. On line booking service should not allowed a reservation to be booked and a confirmation should not have been sent. Surely the on line booking system is checked daily and weekly? This was an advanced booking so the business could have cancelled us in advance even if there had been a mistake from the on line booking system. There was no notice in the window or on website. It’s bank holiday weekend and still school holidays hopefully no one else will be let down like we have. Will not be recommending this restaurant. Thank fully we did have a great evening at Sea Shells.

TLDR: Go to Amalfi round the corner... Or even Hythe kebab... Been meaning to try out this place for a while but unfortunately it really didn't hit the mark. Beer tasted off, really weak and flat. Coke tasted super syrupy and extremely cheap tasting but they had the audacity to charge £3.50 for half a glass of it!!! Pizza was not great at all, very greasy, not fresh and lacked flavour. We left half off it each and I think they knew as when they came to clear the plates they didn't even offer (or give us time to request) a pizza box to take it home with us, not that we would have done! Unfortunately it was a poor experience, check out Amalfi round the corner for a true Italian experience!

Will not be returning. We started with drinks; 2 cokes and a beer. The cokes tasted like sugary, watered down panda pops and the beer was off, like the tap needed changing. For food we ordered cheesy garlic bread, a couple of pizzas and a carbonara. All bad. The carbonara had some weird strawberry tasting jam squirted all over the sides of the plate, and it came with two random sticks sticking out of the top (I mean, what!?) My friend didn’t finish her pizza because it was that bad, and the staff didn’t even ask us if we wanted to take it away in a box (not that we would have anyway). We had a hunch it would be bad from the moment we sat down. The laminated menus, plus the PowerPoint presentation on one of the TVs showing stock images of food were the first signs to be honest. Go to Amalfi’s in the high street round the corner for better Italian food, not this place.

Service I can’t fault, the girls who work here are great. Food is mediocre, asked for a pizza with no peppers.. comes smothered in peppers. Overall taste is decent. I wouldn’t bother ordering a beer as tastes off as if the lines are dirty or beers off. Really awkward unwelcoming atmosphere as what seems to be the owners family were having lunch across the entirety of the restaurant end to end, very unwelcoming and could barely get to our table as not enough space between seats due to enormous table… also no one other than us eating in there is also a bit of a red flag so we asked for our pizzas to be boxed up and we left to go eat by the sea. Second time going, has got worse wouldn’t bother again just get a roccos or Hythe kebab pizza instead.

Booked through the website for a Sunday evening. Clicked on reservation button at top of the website. Takes you straight to a Table Agent widget which takes your date, time, size of group. I then received a booking confirmation. However when we arrived the restaurant was shut and the hours advertised on the door was until 5pm - not as offered on the booking site. When I went in another day to highlight this issue, having left feedback via Table Agent and received no response I was disappointed to just hear that it was a fault of Table Agent and whilst the restaurant were sorry there was nothing they could do. Furthermore instead of showing interest and trying to engage me to book again for another day the staff member was just very dismissive which certainly doesn’t encourage me to try the restaurant another time.

Atmosphere very strange with no authentic, Italian feel. Food was average - the Mama Mia pizza was uncooked with cheap ingredients dumped on the top. Hardly any dessert choice. This place has a long way to go if it wants to become a staple Italian restaurant for the area. The drinks selection was also poor. I also want to add that the service was poor. No smile and always felt like an inconvenience. The staff prioritised a table towards the back of the restaurant (a group of men). This didn’t go unnoticed. I will not waste my time in coming here again and will make sure not to recommend to anyone locally.

First time visiting, starter of calamari was delicious but sadly that's where it ended, I ordered a seafood pizza, very meagre toppings, including just 2 prawns! Not as tasty as I would have thought either, the dough wasn't quite cooked and could have done with a bit longer. Eton mess was just cream with sauce and fruit, when asked about the meringue the waiter said it would have melted? Sadly no second visit for us!

would give zero stars if i could. Apparently they have changed hands so this is for the new business here. Chef was useless, we could see them stood around doing nothing whilst waiting 2 hours for our main. Our starters were average and took an hour to come out. i ordered a caprize salad and i got three pieces of mozzarella and four bits of unripe tomato, other members of our party got the wrong food and the manager did nothing about it. Then after all this we waited over an hour for our mains for them all to be stone cold, we sent them back and they took random plates to microwave them and take back to random people. After this we tried to pay for starters we had eaten and then any drinks. The manager tried to argue with multiple people over their bills saying they needed to pay when the food was inedible. Felt so sorry for the servers as they were just trying to get food out but the chefs and manager were useless. 0/5 would not recommend

Unexpected Surprise. Pizza and pasta night with friends. Mama Mia’s pizza turned out to be the best pizza we’ve had anywhere, worthy of a 5 star award on its own. And then the pasta; so well prepared and put together with just enough flavoured heat to make it count and not too much to take it too far. An outstanding meal all round. And, at £25 per head for pre-meal nibbles, main and sides and wine; quite the bargain. Well done guys, keep it going. Definitely on our Return To list.

Not great to be honest. I’ll start with the positives as it wasn’t completely terrible. The service was friendly and generally welcoming, the decor nice and the music was good. It’s a nice location and the food and drinks are reasonably priced. However, we were put off returning due to the fact that the kitchen would not accept a simple request to serve a salad with the dressing on the side. This is a simple request from a customer, not unreasonable and you would think easy to accommodate. Apparently not. Despite clearly telling two different members of the serving team the salad came out dressed in balsamic glaze. We asked for another salad, it returned to us wiped off, with messy fingerprints on the bowl. We naturally refused this and a fresh one was eventually bought to us, again with dressing on it! The chef would not grant our request. Quite unbelievable really considering how tough it is for hospitality at the moment. Add to this that the pizzas are dry and they had an open dirty bin on display close to the tables. These things are easy to solve, and this could be a really nice place to visit. However I’m not in a hurry to return. Sorry.

We were a group of 8 (4 Adults; 4 kids) 3 had the carbonara and 5 pizzas. All bowls were emptied and we had to take the remaining pizza home as it was so yummy we didn't want to waste it. Proper Stone Baked bases and cooked in a traditional pizza oven. I have to say, it was one of the best I have had in a long time.

The food was of a reasonable standard. Overpriced for what it is. The cured meats board was a waste of money - just a few olives and bits of pepperoni on a limp salad. The beer in draft was a cloudy colour. It tasted ok. The interior felt dirty and there is only one toilet for the whole restaurant that was dirty. When we came out of the restaurant, we met some interesting clientele going upstairs, what I can only assume was owned by the same company. It didn’t feel like an Italian restaurant at all! The place felt cheap, especially with pictures of drunken customers repeatedly appearing on the screens. The service was average. Plates were being cleared whilst people were eating which was incredibly rude. The staff also slammed the food down on the table. When it was time to pay, the man taking the payments was rude and didn’t thank anyone for their custom. I will not return to this overpriced and overrated place.

Visited with friends on Friday evening. Quite busy and nice atmosphere. Ordered a pint of draught beer, "sorry out of draught but have bottled" so ordered a bottle, sadly no large bottles so had a small. Friends have small appetite so we ordered main course only, which they enjoyed. My wife had lasagne which came with a side salad and garlic bread, she enjoyed her meal. I ordered the seafood spaghetti which was the most expense meal on the menu. When it arrived it was quite tasty but the seafood consisted of the smallest items of seafood in terms of size and quantity. It consisted of one small muscle, two small pieces of calamari and three small prawns plus one larger prawn in it's shell for garnish. I had another small beer, the two beers cost £9.60, which I found rather expensive for about a pint. In spite of many good reviews I will not be returning

This restaurant having recently changed to an Italian and given our love of pizza and pasta we were keen to try it out. The reviews have been very good and so we had high expectations and we were not disappointed. The prawn starter is to due for, 4 giant succulent prawns served in a beautiful garlic butter sauce. We also chose the quattro fromange pizza and the mamma mia pizza. They are massive, full of flavour and ooze Italian authenticity. There was enough for is to take home in the box kindly provided so we had a second meal later 😍 Arti, the lovely kind lady who served us and is one of the managers, was a complete delight. All in all a delightful afternoon and we shall be returning again soon to try a pasta dish!

Loved everything about my visit here, food was amazing with decent sized portions. Full of flavour, loved the garlic bread and pizza! Atmosphere was great and the staff were witty and very friendly. Would definitely go back here and highly recommend, best Italian in the area I think.

We were kept waiting at the front desk, then they seated the people who came in after us first. 🤷‍♀️ We asked for the salad dressing on the side. Didn’t happen and no apology. One meal arrived very late, most of us had finished eating....

Booked a meal there on a Saturday night. The restaurant was full. Had to wait to be seated. Meal was very nice, but there was a few mistakes with the service of it. After our main meal we were sat drinking and thinking about what pudding we were going to have, when we were approached and asked if we would mind finishing our drinks at the bar. The bar area was packed and there were no seats available, so we would have to stand. We were not asked if we wanted pudding. We decided to drink up and leave. The table was booked for 2 hrs and we were sat there for 1.5 hrs. We felt very rushed. Also they asked on their website if we were going for a special occasion, it was my birthday and this was not even acknowledged. Lovely food but let down by the rest of the experience.

We went here on one of our date nights, we are checking out the restaurants in the local area having just moved to ringwood, this restaurant seemed to be the one with least people in and that was for a reason. We were greater and sat down ordered a drink each. All ok. I went to order a main lasagne to be told it’s not available but was not told this before. We had a goats cheese and beetroot salad type thing to start - this was literally beetroot from a can with a slab of goats cheese on top and some spinach.. it was ok but not the best We also ordered garlic bread- considering this is an Italian I would expect more than 2 slices of tiger bread cut in half and some garlic butter on it… The main courses were not good at all, we couldn’t eat them.. both pasta dishes. No one asked us how our meals were, even though we asked for the bill with plates for. It was clear it’s a struggling restaurant so we paid in full. The pizzas maybe better as there was another table in there who seemed happy

We had an absolutely fantastic birthday dinner here, and it matches or exceeds everywhere we ate on our holiday in Italy this year! The service was relaxed but very attentive, and the sommelier was superb, matching wines perfectly to our dishes. Each dish was faultless, from the gnocchi to the veal, paired with a wonderful glass of pinot noir. If we lived in the area we would eat here all the time!
