We were staying nearby in a b&b and looked for local places to eat.. So lucky to find this gem! Food was absolutely delicious and quick service. Would highly recommend if you are staying in the Bournemouth area!

A Little Slice of Yum! What a pleasant surprise. We booked our visit to the Italian restaurant for my husband's birthday, and they did not disappoint! The staff were amazing, really attentive (in a good way), and went out of their way to find a candle for his dessert. The food was delicious. I ordered the linguini vongole at the suggestion of the waiter, and it was perfect—not too heavy, so there was plenty of room for dessert, which I highly recommend the lemon sorbet! My husband had the spaghetti Bolognese, and our child had the margherita pizza—both of which were delicious with nothing to fault. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere, with music not too loud and a good buzz from the other guests. Overall, it was a wonderful experience with nothing to fault. Thanks for a memorable time!

Came down from London and wanted to eat here before a gig at the O2. We were running late and the restaurant happily moved our reservation over the phone. Starters were fantastic and the mains were even more superb. We all really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere was pleasant. Our waitress was super friendly and the bill was exceptionally reasonable for what we had with drinks as well. Will definitely come back here if I’m down again

Took my kids here last night as my daughter wanted meatballs, whilst we were in Bournemouth on holiday. Had a nice meal. Kids portions were good size and reasonable price. Place was clean and service was great (which is very unusual). Hence 5 stars… foot was good too and there was a good selection of drinks…

Great atmosphere and excellent service. Pleasant and friendly staff. But the food was really next level !!! Simply amazing! One of the best, if not the best pizza I ever had. It felt like I was in Italy, but with more relaxed atmosphere. We even customised our toppings. So almost anything can be vegetarian if need be. I can not find words that would prase my experience in "Via Roma"! I wish that I live closer so that I can visit more often.

Just moved into area so thought we would check out the local Italian. Overall was disappointing. For starter my husband and I shared the mixed fish starter which had 2 shell on prawns, some whitebait and calamari. Whitebait was nice, however calamari was very overcooked and chewy. Son had the meatball starter which he was disappointed with and has had better. For mains two of us had ribeye steaks.. These come with roast potatoes and vegetables. The potatoes came out very pale, certainly not roasted and the vegetables were cold and underwhelming. I had to complain about the temperature of vegetables and they brought some fresh ones out which were certainly hotter but the potatoes were still just like boiled potatoes. Steak was cooked well. Overall disappointing and underwhelming food. The bill came to £105 with a bottle of wine so not cheap. No complimentary drink at end of meal despite how much we spent. Wont be returning and will have to find another local Italian place to eat.

What a gem! We went in without planning ahead and we are glad we found this spot. Excellent pasta (tried linguine alle vongole), great pizza. Reasonable prices. Ran by real Italians. Very friendly atmosphere, and the owner tolerated our attempts at speaking Italian. Finally, if you're a fan of digestivi, they have a reasonable selection of amari (Averna, Ramazzotti, Unicum, Cynar). Will certainly come back any time we're in Bournemouth/Boscombe.

Really good service. The starters and meals were served well and cooked to perfection. We had a plentiful bowl of olives while we waited for our freshly cooked starters of meatballs and calamari which was excellent. This was followed by lasagne and chicken in a mushroom sauce all piping hot and delicious. Table service was very attentive and we left happy. Will be back soon, thank you.

Walked in with a friend for lunch and already felt unwelcome as we weren’t greeted. as I sat down I took off my coat as it was warm inside, I was immediately told that I had to put my jacket back on. I was wearing a crop top like half the other people there. I hope the staff learn to grow up and stop objectifying women, as this ultimately made me feel really really uncomfortable so we left immediately. It’s a shame as I’m sure the food would have been lovely.

Good pizza. Thin base with a lot of flavour in the dough and you can actually taste the tomatoes in the sauce, it's not overpowered by tomato paste. If I have one complaint it's that the olives are whole. One was able to slip out from under my fork and land on me. My fault but I wish that olive was halved. Latte I had was good also. Staff were attentive and friendly. Quiet and moody, almost romantic, but it's a little too darkly lit on the interior for my liking though.

I ate here last week with an old friend. Although I had booked and the restaurant was not at all full, we were offered a cramped table next to a noisy party, which we declined. The only other option offered was another tiny table up against the bar, which we took. Service was acceptable. My pasta was described as having a tomato cream sauce, but it was actually dry, and the pasta overcooked. A disappointing evening.

We were early to dinner so it was quiet when we arrived. So the atmisphere was a bit flat. But it picked up losds later as service hit into full swing. The food and service are excellent. I ordered their house pizza which was as authentic as I have had outside of Italy. The decor is great fun with fiat body parts decorating parts of the walls an very carefully curated lighting and artwork giving this place a great feel. It's a fantastic restaurant. Highly reccomended.

Felt rushed and forgotten about. Came here with my partner on a Saturday for an evening meal. Arrived around 5:50ish and asked for a table of 2 (didn't book but did look online and there was no way to book online nor did it say we had to phone up to book) Were given a table for 2 but were told they would need the table back at 7. Absolutely fine. Went to order food and saw on the menu that they only accept cash (again doesn't clearly state on the website that this is the case) but were informed by the waitress that there was a cash point next door. Ordered 2 pizzas and 2 drinks. Food came out very promptly but our drinks were forgotten about (only 2 cans of soft drink as they don't sell alcohol) so had to ask for them again. Pizzas were tasty but not warm all the way through (they seemed as though they had been rushed as to get us out the restaurant). Would of told a waitress but we weren't asked how our food was. The main downside of the evening was a very loud and obnoxious table behind us of over 10 people who were all talking and screeching during the meal who not only disturbed us but also the table next to us who also were commenting on how loud they are. I couldn't even hear my partner who was leaning over the table talking to me. I know this isn't they restaurants fault at all but the space inside is very tiny for such a large table. Overall it was an okay visit with decent food but unsure if we would visit again as the whole visit felt rushed. We were out the door by 6:30. Which is a real shame as had read so many amazing reviews of this place. Perhaps it was just a bad day for them idk.
