Tamburino Caffe in South Somerset

We had a lovely night. The food was very good, simple Italian menu. The atmosphere was lively and fun especially when people had birthdays. All the staff who served us were very pleasant. Definitely if your in the area give it a try.

We had a great night food was excellent, great atmosphere and the staff were fantastic nothing was to much trouble.

We had a lovely lunch. From the moment we entered we were made to feel really welcome. My wife and I shared a pizza, delicious and served so nicely. The children got nice children’s margaretta pizzas. Great service, warm, friendly and fun service. The whole family loved it.

Good peasant food served in a lively atmosphere. Quite expensive though. Great for families and definitely worth a try. Simple Italian.

We were there the Saturday before Christmas and it was busy with both small and large groups. On arrival we were shown straight to a table. The service was attentive and the food arrived in good time, we weren't made to feel rushed at all. For starter I had fritto misto, white bait, calamari and prawns, chap had butterflied King prawns in garlic, for mains I had salmon, chap had spaghetti and meatballs. Good portion size and absolutely delicious and all washed down with a very pleasant house white wine. As luck would have it there was a singer, he performed mostly modern songs and some classics. It was quite noisy but not so loud we couldn't hear each other. Lively place with a lovely atmosphere.

Firstly this review is 100%genuine and solely my view. I have had a few meals here lately and found the restaurant to be very nice and a comfortable place to dine out. However I do feel that the prices are too high especially the drinks ...I paid over £5 a Perroni ! The place had a good atmosphere although some of the female staff were a bit of fish.

Once again invited by friends to eat dinner at Tamberinos, lots of tables crammed in,very basic cutlery BUT most of all the food was truly Awful,! 🤮 also accompanied by all the attempts to create an authentic Italian atmosphere,,also I did overhear the owner giving a waiter a real dressing -down for using too much parmisan on a customers food,!. all in all couldn’t wait to leave,!

I asked for well done & I was,so much blood showing,so chewy. somebody trying to be Italian stick to pitzas they didn't look that good either. I expected a lot more.not good, try mcdougalls on the corner.

Good food, good coffee and excellent service!!! It’s fantastic for breakfast especially when they have 2 for 1 on full English breakfast, plenty of choice between muffins, pastries, cookies, home made cakes, and Italian patisserie! Lunch ?? lots of different dishes Pastas, paninis, jacket potatoes, salad ad pizzas

Visited with a friend last week. Staff came across and took our order when we were seated which was nice as it was a lunch break. Food was good and hot. Hadn't realised the portion was going to be so large for a lunchtime snack.

Great. Typically Italian family atmosphere, noisy, raucous, friendly and superb food. Will definitely be going back when in town.

Schitterende service en lekker eten. Ietsje duurder maar daar geef je geen moer om. Dit is gewoon de beste Italiaan die er is ! Een echte aanrader!

Ideal place to go if you want fun while you eat especially if it's a special occasion. Huge menu with a difference.

Excellent food and staff children ate free. Wide menu choice all delicious. Caters for large groups there were 8 of us.

I have been coming here for years, I have never had a bad meal, the food is always of a high standard, the staff are incredibly attentive and second to none... The atmosphere is wonderful and it's the first place I want to go for pretty much every occasion! Highly recommend.

The best pizza and pasta in hole region very clean the staff very professional the local is very quiet good place to relax and eat good Italian food

Italian & enough to choose from to satisfy me to eat in, most nights of the week. Look out for their specials as well.

La comida era de cata de antiguo, como lo habían sido hace horas previamente, y aunque el café era bueno y sabía fuertes, esto no compensa el personal grosero y falta de frescura con la comida.

Pedimos el desayuno con té, taza era asquerosas , me rompí cambiado ningún problema, vajilla poco anticuado agrietada o con grietas en toda la comida estaba muy bien preparado tan bien hecho para un delicioso desayuno

I have eaten and drank here a few times and over the course of time a few things have changed. The staff do change but I always find that Italian charm and enthusiastic hello when I walk in. With the staff changes though I have seen movements in the quality of the food as the establishment grows. It isn't quite as good or as quaint as it once was. Offering a cafe/ restaurant and takeaway delivery service i feel does take an impact on the quality. That said there is always something unique on offer at the counter, especially during summer when Gelati can be bought. I think it is a bit expensive for what it is, but in a town starved of good options this place should probably be on you're list.

Great place, great food, great prices, great service. Well done. Fantastic home made food. This place never fails.

Great atmosphere and very efficient service for a busy Saturday night. Excellent food and personable staff. Extensive menu. One of four restaurants that the family have now opened in the area. 10% discount for nearby Premier Inn customers.

Restaurante muito bom. O ambiente é alegre e descontraído. O dono do restaurante é muito legal e fica animando o lugar. Recomendo.

Regularly pop in coffee and lunch.... Can recommend the panini particularly the club and smoked salmon..... Coffee lovely and smooth,staff great and a good place to people watch from....

Nice place to eat some Italian snacks and drink coffee with friends on evening in middle of week or on Saturday. I like this atmosphere. There working only Italian people so to know all dishes are 100% Italian style :)

This is the 8 th time we have been here now. We are always gantrateed a hearty Italian pizza top top food.

It's a busy restaurant, fast service in and out in no time, but great for birthday parties , portions are big, friendly staff.

Called in on way home from the office, food was very simple, good value and came out to table very quickly/

Foods pretty good quite crammed in space not too child friendly as not that much room for a pram , nice for lunch time bites

Had heard a lot about this place and had regularly walked past, thinking one day I'll pop in for coffee. Well I tried it this week and if there is no doubt about the coffee being excellent, there is a lot to be said about the service and I guess if at management level smiles and service are not a combination, you can hardly expect the staff to oblige. q sad and exoensive coffee break, very disappointing'

As we were staying a few miles away we booked to have dinner @ this restaurant. What a fantastic place, Italian music being played in the background, restaurant all dressed up for Halloween, staff made you feel more than welcome, food was delicious.

Popped in for lunch whilst we were Yeovil.Again, good service and excellent food especially at a busy lunch time. I had lasagna and my wife had Salmon & Cream Cheese Jacket Potato.Washed down with Cafe Mocha. Served by the same waitress we met when we went there for the first time. I knew she was learning Italian so asked her how her 3 languages were getting on (Her native language, Italian and English) only to be told she was proficient in 5 languages.We enjoyed our food so much we booked there and then for a meal at Tamburio's Gold in SherborneOnly got to visit their Street establishment then we can say we have done them all!!

We decided to have lunch here whilst visiting Yeovil. We were welcomed as soon as we entered and invited to select any table we wished. The staff were very welcoming and friendly.The menu was extensively Italian (which you would expect from an Italian themed restaurant). The prices for the meals were also competitive.The only downside, and this is the only reason we have not given "excellent", was that 2 bowls of pasta took half an hour to arrive from being ordered. We appreciate that everything is cooked to order but even I know that pasta doesnt take that long.The cafe was not that busy either....When the meals arrived, they were very well cooked and very tasty.We will eat there again. The food was good and the staff very friendly and attentive.

We go there maybe once a fortnight. We usually have the omelette. This comes with chips or salad or toast. What you get is a very well cooked, plentiful omelette. Various flavours are available. There is a very varied menu and the service is friendly and reasonably quick. Bear in mind each dish is cooked especially for you. It's well worth a try. Average price for a meal for two is about £17.00.

Great food, great price, great service. Lovely place to go for coffee or lunch in business or leisurely occasions. Ideal for a midweek meal too.
