Pizzeria Via Roma in Bournemouth

Table for 7 (5 kids). Really friendly and quick service. Good atmosphere. Food was excellent. Had pasta, pizza, kids meals and desserts. Good portions and reasonably priced. Will definitely come back when in town

Amazing pizza spot! Food and service was excellent!

Quite quiet on my first visit, but prompt very friendly service and the best pizza I have EVER had!

Simply the best Italian for miles. The pizza is the real deal and the calamari is fresh, not had better anywhere. The restaurant was quiet on a week night, which is great with children.

Visited for dinner head of a gig at the O2 Academy and the team accepted a last minute reservation. Friendly staff, happy to help with any questions etc. The food was delicious, with generous portions. Will be returning!

Amazing experience, best pizzeria in Bournemouth!!!

Lovely pizza and friendly service. Highly recommended.

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

Delicious food, very clean restaurant, nice staff 👍

Heerlijk gegeten en de bediening was top!Kon gewoon met Nederlandse betaalpas pinnen Grote porties en veel keuze Hoefde niet lang te wachten op het eten

Got a takeaway, it was ready really quickly and was absolutely delicious 😋

Went to this restaurant the other night. The staff were very welcoming and the food was amazing. Very authentic Italian. Would highly recommend.

Great food, lovely friendly atmosphere and service. We will be returning!

Absolutely outstanding takeaway pizza, my wife and i really enjoyed! Looking for a quick takeaway, we spotted the menu on the window. I'm glad I asked if they do takeaway as that pizza was absolutely supreme - 100% recommend.

Impromptu visit with a few friends, great service, even better food. Great time had by all. Thanks.

Great service, yummy food, big portions. I didn't get pics of the pasta, but it was as great as the pizza.

Lovely food, friendly service and a nice atmosphere. Happily recommend them to young families, couples or groups.

Excellent in every way and the food was ace.

Nipped in for dinner pre-gig at the nearby O2, staff were very friendly and accommodating, professional and happy. The menu is vast with loads of great dishes. GF catered for (not a guarantee with independent Italian restaurants) and reasonably priced. Would recommend.

Could not help this place whatsoever. The food was great and reasonably priced my mum had an orgasm which was amazing. I will definitely be coming back here 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.

banger food very tasty however using cream for carbonara when on the menu it says traditional way is less good

Restaurant turned out to be an authentic place, I checked it, cooks are real Italians, the pizza was very tasty. We can recommend this place.

Wonderful food. Fresh mussels, freshly prepared and really tasted great... the ambience was also really great. We recommend. The pizza was also great...

Fantastic restaurant - great service, food and atmosphere. Would recommend. We were in a large group and service was excellent and the food was delicious. Lots of choice so suited everyone.

Great Pizza, highly recommended!

Lovely food and welcome prior to our concerts date, really nice stuffed Sardines.

The pizza is very good, well cooked and rich in fillings, the environment is pleasant and relaxing, the staff is very kind. Absolutely recommended. The pizza is excellent, well cooked and rich in fillings, the location is nice and relaxing, the staff very kind. Absolutely recommended.

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.

Very nice Italian food I recommend 👌

Popped in here with a friend on our way to the academy. Even early doors the atmosphere was great the staff were very friendly. The menu was very good and the food was great. We had a shared starter and main courses washed down with a bottle of red wine. Good value for money all round great experience

Best pizza ever!!! Highly recommended!!!!

Ordered over the phone and paid on collection. Was ready when they said it would be. Reasonable price, good quality pizza. Nice thin base so you don't get stuffed on dough. Not greasy. Good flavour. Would recommend!

I always love this place. Lovely staff, great wine (montipulciano) and the food is all amazing

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.

I ordered a take away from here and it was delicious, really tasty food, would definitely order again, or eat here! Thank you :)

very thin pizza like a piece of paper

Great local Italian restaurant. Staff are very friendly and take orders quickly. Food arrived fast and was impeccable, the prices are also very reasonable, couldn't reccomend this place enough! Pizza and Focaccia are especially delicious!

What a great place regularly visit its a great authentic italian resturaunt

Excellent experience in total, if in the area again will definitely return

Fantastic welcome, great service, amazing food, and value for money. Our new favourite Italian restaurant, fabulous pizza, pasta, risotto & Seafood platter.

Friendly and relaxed service always creates a comfortable atmosphere in here, the food was excellent. I’ve eaten here a few times recently and it’s consistently this good.

Had a great evening for a friend's birthday, staff were brilliant and food was really good.

It's worth visiting this place.

The food at Pizzeria Via Roma didn't disappoint. Fresh, hot, tasty bliss. Would highly recommend. I can't wait to go back. I intend to work my way through every dish on the menu

Very tasty fresh definitely will recommend it

Lovely staff but the food quality is very very poor I ordered carbonara it came like a soup before that had a sea food starter where there should be prawns it came with withe bait and calamari and 1 prawn over cooked my daughter loves pasta she had Bolognese which was disgusting she had a bite and left it and she loves to eat

Visiting from Essex, we had sharing platter for two to start, seafood pizza and seafood risotto followed by tiramisu, the food was amazing and the staff were lovely, I would definitely go here again

Wonderful food, brilliant hosts...will be back next time in the area.

Such a fantastic restaurant - we were really looked after, had incredibly tasty pasta & pizza, plus great vibes. Highly recommended.

Put pizza express and all the other gaffs on the first express train out of here... if you want a light, melt in your mouth base - with a crispy crust and any topping you want cooked to perfection that doesn't make you think you won't eat for a week afterwards - or descend into your overdraft then look no further! Case rested 👍 🍕

Little Gem in Boscombe. If you are in the araa perhaps going to the O2, well worth a visit. Lovely food and friendly staff.

Very enjoyable lunch Six off us all ate well The food was standard Pizza:pasta fayre Really tasty Service ok But please any reasonable Italian restaurant will offer complimentary limoncello/grappa Just a thought

A lovely Italian restaurant located within a short walking distance from the o2 Bournemouth. Delicious pizzas and excellent service.

Best restaurant in Bournemouth. Love itslian pizza very much and boss very frendly always with positive smile. Next to italian restaurant is nuce view for Chaplin bar. New painting..

This is a little gem of a place. We booked for dinner as it’s close to the O2 Academy, which is where we were going afterwards. Friendly welcome and lovely service with a cosy, authentic atmosphere. Food was spot-on too. Thoroughly recommended.

Lovely food, lovely experience all round 😋

Following good reviews we decided to celebrate my 40th birthday at Pizzeria Via Roma. Clean restaurant with very nice decor and lovely atmosphere. Me, my husband and kids had all nice time. Our mains came to table hot and delicious. Service was friendly and professional. Thank you!

Great food, too much to eat, so I had to leave some ... compliments to the chef though. Good service.

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.

We walked in and this place is a real gem! The food is absolutely delicious, the size of the portions is decent and is great value for money. The staff are so welcoming, patient and accommodating. Anything you’d chose will be a great choice.

Amazing vegeterian pizza and seafood linguine. One of the best Italian I have been in the UK and it is value for money. It was a busy place but the owner will find time to speak with you. Will definitely come back again. Gracias.

Had Sunday Lunch. Service was 10/10 and the best Italian food we’ve had in Bournemouth..and we’ve had a lot! Cocktails were great too. Highly recommend a visit!

Great food, fabulous engaging staff and fab cocktails. We’ll be back!

Have called this place a couple of times when out in Boscombe..we say we'll pick it up in 20 mins or whenever the time and they make the pizzas fresh out of the oven and then we pick them up..great service and quality pizzas at a decent price 😋

Really good service and food in this family and couples Italian.

Best carbonara I have ever had, Service spot on,nice atmosphere. Thank you.

Very cosy place, good quality food cooked at perfection. Service on point. Really liked it. Pizza calabrese with extra chillies was amazing.

Amazing atmosphere food quality excellent service goes above and beyond we deffintly coming back soon

I had a really great experience in this restaurant my pizza 🍕 was delicious will definitely go again I wish you all the best 💞

The food is awful, doesn’t have a taste at all. They use very low quality cheese which make food tasteless and plastic. Left disappointed and starving.

Such a nice ambiance, lovely atmosphere and service, food very delicious 👍🙏🏼 Thx 🙏🏼 for saving our lives 😅😅🥳🥳

The food is amazing, we ordered pasta, wine and desert. Staff is very nice and welcoming especially Paula. Definitely we will be back.

Very good service and the food was excellent

Good food, nicely cooked and reasonable price

Really nice local family restaurant. Food is good, not spectacular, but great value for a nice low-key meal. Our waitress was very sweet and attentive, and the decor and ambience were a cut above most of the strip.

We had another lovely meal, Staff are always very welcoming and can't do enough for us! Great atmospere, very clean(including the toilets) Can't wait to eat there again.

This is the best Restaurant in Bournemouth. When you like excellent original italian pizza and pasta, italian music and a quick and friendly service, then its your place to go. 😋

Five stars for everything, especially the atmosphere. It's not just any pizza, it's really Italian pizza. Good job guys, next time I'll try something different 😉

Excellent food, excellent chef, the atmosphere is great, the staff is very nice and friendly. I recommend this place because you feel that you are in Italy not in UK.

Excellent food and excellent chef. The atmosphere is amazing and the staff is very nice and friendly. I recommend this place because is the best Italian restaurant in Dorset.

Best pizza ever we’ll recommend. We have visited with family and kinds. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Positive positive

We have been coming to Via Roma for a long time. Used recently for a group gathering in the beach with a big order of 20 pizzas and sides. All prepared on time and tasted awesome . Customer service was amazing from the whole team. Wishing the new management the best for the years to come. Matt

Lovely restaurant food was beautiful reasonable prices for food and drinks would definitely return when we are back next year

Very nice looking place. Good food and affordable. Will come again

Lovely find as our original restaurant was closed, quick service and polite waiters.

I love love looooove this place. I adore the pizza and the atmosphere and the friendly stuff and the the owners are soo cool <3 Can not wait to go back to eat my favourite salamino pizza with a cold glass of a fine wine. Worth mentioning it's so fairly price for what you are getting. Simply the best pizza in town. Come in and find out for yourself, you won't be disappointed <3

Use to be good but sadly it’s went down the hill. The food doesn’t have any taste very very bland I barely use salt! in food due to wife’s high blood pressure. but had to ask for salt to see if it can enhance any flavour but sadly it upset our stomach and this experience put off my wife and kid to go for any Italian place

If anyone wants to enjoy real pizza this is the place!! Pizzas are just perfect! Music in the background was rather anoying, tho...

We are local so have been at the restaurant regularly. The food alweys is outstanding but in last few times the lady owner seems a bit unsteady on her feet. I am not j saying she was under influence as she might be unwell. She actually coughed a lot and had a cold which made me so uncomfortable to the point I don't want to go back there. I even notice a chap who as soos as the lady coughed left the restaurant quicker than he walked in. Such shame as the food is amazing. Unfortunately, restaurant without outstanding service is just average or even poor experience.

We visiting Boscombe for a concert and booked this restraint as it was close by. My partner and I both had different pizzas and I must say service and food was excellent although I did agree with another reviewer that the music was a little loud. Definitely come back here again as we are frequently in the area.

Great food along with fantastic service.

Been here few times in the past 2 months and ordered pizzas as take away as well as eating in ,, the pizza is just to good ,, the flavours are amazing, a taste of Italy with fresh basil and the drizzle of olive oil that makes it just perfect. And the pizza dough is soft as a brioche.. amazing I’m half Italian and been in Italy many times, but even in Italy is very hard to find a good pizza like this at Via Roma …. Thanks we will comeback for more..

Totally unexpected find in Boscombe food to die for, atmosphere to live for and hosts to return for. I can not rate this restaurant experience highly enough from the moment you phone in to book a table - you enter the family environment of Eat Pray Love Italy I’ll be back for more Bravo Bellissimo

Best pizza we have ever eaten! Great, family atmosphere and great service! Thank you for the lovely evening😊
