Toto in Isle of Wight

WOW this was our second meal at Totos and didn’t disappoint. What a superb restaurant - from the warm welcoming staff, cosy environment. The food is sooooooo delicious and fresh and plentiful. Absolutely First Class.

Went for a pizza, but this time round, it was not as tasty as the previous visit. The pizza was bland and tasteless and had to add salt, tabs on, and peppers, but even then, it wasn't as good as the previous visit. There was less cheese as I thought they must have been rationing. Did bring this to serving staff's attention, but I don't think she was bothered to take on board my comments and feedback.

Very poor services.Every dish looked like it came out the same pan.Is a lack of staff management communication

Pizzas are poor quality and poor service offered

Great food delicious, and even better service.

Had an amazing meal, food was great an d service was A class. Highly recommend

Work trip to Isle of Wight. This cosy restaurant was nextdoor to where I was staying and it was AMAZING! Thoroughly recommend to anyone and everyone.

No complaints at all. Very welcoming. Good food and reasonable prices

Lovely restaurant- staff very attentive and food was delicious. Absolutely would recommend. The sharing garlic bread was amazing as well as our main dishes. A little gem of a restaurant.

Beautiful place with friendly staff! Located in the heart of Newport with a view of the cathedral. Food was a 10/10 bursting with flavours, especially the pork belly 🙂

Food is fantastic here. The staff all work very hard

The food we ordered for 4 people was of great quality and flavors: pizza del diavolo (written El Diablo in the menu, in Spanish), hot but still full of flavor, great porchetta pizza and crispy chicken with salad. Great service. We were delighted to eat on their terrace on a sunny August day.

I've been on a staycation on Isle of Wight and did all the eating outside. Out of 5 nights last 3 were at Toto's. Great service, the food was delicious and the portions were big. Toto was the winner for dinner time on Isle Of Wight. Lots of tables inside and outside. Clean place, clean toilets, great staff. It's a place to go back anytime.

Must try this store for your own sake.

This perfectly hit our craving spot! Cosy and vibey ambience :) really yummy food and good portion size, though it was small for some of us but it is still good. The seafood were really good! I would highly recommend the calamari and prawns!! The calamari was so tender, juicy and flavourful. The mushroom risotto was really good too.

Really helpful staff and although there was no room inside. We sat outside and was very well looked after. The food was great, well presented, delicious and high quality I would highly recommend having a meal.

The food was delicious and we were treated very well. Needs more seating inside :)

Best Italian food we've had in a long time. Small enough restaurant to feel like private dining. Couldn't recommend Toto enough.

A lovely restaurant, friendly staff, food portions are plentiful and extremely delicious 😋

Really nice pizzas and pasta, with friendly staff. Would recommend for a quick bite to eat.

Lovely ambience and friendly staff.

Super friendly, super quick, super nice pizza with vegan options (vegan cheese offered) Perfect!

The food was great and the service was excellent. We would certainly recommend here to anyone. Atmosphere is a 3 because it was early afternoon and there were only a couple of people in. I'd assume the atmosphere is usually great as so many people talk about it. Thank you for a lovely meal.

It's clean and the food is delicious. Especially mushrooms and truffle jots are good!!!

Shocking service and a manger with a bad attitude. I waited over 40 minuets for a starter all whilst 2 tables who came in 15 minuets after me received their starters, then another table had their desserts. Unacceptable and complete let down to the restaurant. The manager blamed it on me because I was the only table that didn't book. So in basic terms if you book a table regardless of when you arrive you will get your food first. Yes, because that makes perfect sense. No apologies, just bad attitudes and excuses. Extremely poor customer service. I will not return again.

Really lovely and friendly staff to welcome you. Choice of pasta, pizza and main meals. There is also a children's menu. They offer a great range of cocktails too.

The goat cheese pizza was amazing. We also added chicken to it!

Great meal at lunchtime during half term. Really good pizzas with generous amounts of toppings. My wife loved her vegan pizza.

Sat at an outside table for over 20 minutes waiting for staff to take an order - the waitress came out multiple times and cleared other tables etc while diligently ignoring us. Useless...

had takeaway spaghetti from here ages ago, was very nice, and they give you a big portion!

I recently dined at Toto and had a delightful experience. The atmosphere and decor were cozy and stylish, with the music setting a perfect, relaxing ambiance. We started with the garlic bread, which was warm and delicious, and the calamari, which was tender and perfectly cooked. My Penne Arrabbiata was splendid, with just the right amount of spice, and the prawns were beautifully flavorful. My wife ordered the oven-baked Penne Al Forno and couldn’t have been happier with her choice. Overall, a wonderful meal in a charming setting.

Ordered a collection and was greeted by a lovely gentleman behind the counter. The atmosphere is wonderful in there and definitely will be dining in at some point in my trip! The food was absolutely delicious ordered a hot pepperoni, oven baked penne alforno and cheese garlic bread. It’s definitely one of the best Italians I’ve eaten! If I had a toto local to me I would eat in there every night!

Amazing food, service, and vibes. Particularly excellent vegan pizza and mushroom penne. Service was very fast too! Would certainly eat here again.

The best gluten free pasta with prawns I've eaten in a long time Definitely will be going again soon

Really enjoyed my meal here tonight. Delicious food all round and the service was unintrusive but attentive and friendly. Best Italian I’ve had for long while! Thank you!

It was fine, food was pretty good, pizzas especially nice. Service was very slow, but we were given free desserts as compensation which was a nice gesture. I would go back again.

Ate here using a TPIW voucher which turned out to be excellent value for money after seeing the prices. The food was absolutely amazing and the tiramisu espresso martini was the best cocktail I think I've ever had! Service was good and decor is cosy. Unfortunately the toilets are upstairs which could be a problem for a lot of people. It's quite small so there isn't a lot of room between tables. Definitely worth a visit and will definitely return!

The Chicken Milanese is rich and delicious, and the Fish Gratin is overflowing with milk, making the lasagna seem ordinary in comparison. The food overall is very good. The waiters don't disturb the meal too much. The restaurant has a very good environment and has two floors. I didn’t order garlic bread, but I smelled a very nice garlic butter smell when I left the store, so I might give it a try.

Lovely meal out with the family. So much better than a high street chain. 🤌🏼

Overpriced and very small portions

Superb! Lasagne and King Prawn Tagliatelle were both amazing. Staff were attentive and efficient. Definitely recommend.

The restaurant is quite small but the selection of food was very good. The food came out a little too quick to be honest but it was still very nice.

Always think of Toto as reliable good food but went there yesterday to find they have changed the Menu which is not a problem but the food was nowhere near the normal standard, a starter of rice balls had no seasoning and the pizza was nowhere near the previous standard. Very disappointing

Lovely staff and garlic break is really nice. Avoid the oven lasagna by all means as it tastes like tomato paste and came out looking dry and burnt. Just not worth half the price. I’m writing this as I’m looking at the burnt plate it came out on.

Love this place! Staff are always great will defo be returning.

If I had one word for this restaurant. Lazy. Absolutely no love in this food. It feels like a money spinner, using Trendy words like ' sourdough' to trick people into suggesting the place cares enough about food to pay attention to its quality. It's pizza guys, pizza.. not complex and I'm truly shocked about how a pizza can taste this bad. My calzone was undercooked and has given me a bad stomach, for starters. The base and edges were so thick and doughy also undercooked. The mushrooms inside raw. The ham was still in cubes of chopped clumps also raw. Barely any cheese and the cheese tasted very cheap. Then we top it off (literally) with the same sauce that's probably used for their pasta (so lazy) which again tasted cheap. This place might be ok for teenagers tourists and first dates but for food snobs like me I wouldn't recommend, for pizza go to Ristorante Michelangelo in Ryde because their pizza is the best in the island full of love and tradition but they are closed in January so I thought I'd try this place, I really really wanted to like this place as I live in Newport and as a business owner myself this review is intended to be constructive criticism which I really hope they take to heart and make this place a hotspot for pizza with it's ideal location. But they have a lot of work to do. Honestly guys take your chefs to Ristorante Michelangelo in Ryde and learn from them because you only have a small amount of time before you use up all the teenagers and tourists the island has to offer. There are not short cuts for good food.

We have both been to various parts of Italy many many times over many years I also lived with an Italian family for 6 months eating fresh homemade Italian food As such, we feel able to say Wow! Amazing Crispy Pork Belly Gnocchi with Chorizo, creamy blue cheese & spinach Service great Location great Facilities more than adequate Only negative is wine list. Limited and not enough Italian BLUE LIGHT CARD DISCOUNT AVAILABLE

Absolutely blinding Italian restaurant. Excellent food, excellent service 👌

Had pizza and calzone, we were not impressed as the quality is the same ordinary one you can fins at the others food chains like Dominos or Pizzahut for example. Service was very good.

Yea pretty good. Quite liked the food. Had to cancel an digestif cocktail because it took too long but in the whole a good experience, would probably return.

Wonderful staff, delicious food and great atmosphere.

Come here with a group of friends, food was lovely and the cocktails were delicious everyone enjoyed themselves and the service was great. looking forward to coming back

Been twice now, pizza nice both times, wife had gnocchi beef which was different and hearty. Good service. Only thing is the chairs are a little firm.

Very tasty Italian food . Loved the ambience and service from the staff. Great options on kids menu as well . Fairly priced.

The food was pretty good and average priced, although garlic bread seems a bit expensive for what it is. Kids menu is big portions. Good portion size for the mains. Massive bowl of risotto. Calzone comes with sauce and side salad, which is great, and the cheesy top is a nice touch. Disappointed they don't do any kind of fried potatoes as a side. My pizza with aubergine didn't actually have any aubergine on it. The crust was a bit burnt and I would have liked cheese nearer to the edges. But the pizza dough is good and there were lots of olives on it. Pizza generally gets very boring about half way through. Or is too rich - the white base goat cheese pizza was lovely but I wouldn't want a whole pizza. It would be great to have the option of a smaller pizza with a non-bread side, to break it up. I'd like to see a few more vegetarian options on the menu. The menu isn't very clear. Parmesan cheese is not vegetarian. The staff could be a little more attentive, especially when it's quiet, but were friendly enough and helpful when asked.

Delicious food, good portions, lovely atmosphere and customer service. Not my first time visiting and never been disappointed. Will most certainly be coming back soon

Great staff with short wait times, always a lovely meal.

The food was very good. The side salads were super tasty and big. My only recommendation is to work on the waiting time for the food. They didn't seemed understaffed. Maybe it was a coincidence and they just had everyone ordering at the same time. I didn't mind the waiting that much while trying their cocktails,which by the way were strong.

It was quiet and we had a lovely varied meal and some good local beer.

Great place. Plenty of vegan options and the staff were really helpful. The calzone is huge and delicious. Also tried the pizza and the sun dried tomato pasta. Can’t wait to return.

They messed up our food and drinks orders but did give us a free shot at the end of the evening to make up for it. Were rather unattentive but when they were there they were lovely

Pizza was good. The garlic mayo dip was somewhat unusual.

It is a lovely place to eat. It feels authentic, and the staff is very friendly and kind. The food was delicious and well made. The portions were just right for an adult, and drinks were okay. The place is a little small, and felt a little packed when it got busier. For the two sharing starters, four mains, and a few drinks, we've paid a little over £100 - which worked out roughly £25/pp - so prices are fair too, in my opinion.

We ordered Toto through recommendation of a friend. We ordered the antipasto sharer, a spag bol and a calzone. Unfortunately we were left feeling a little disappointed. The antipasto seemed a little over priced for what was delivered. Especially with only 3 bits of bruschetta - considering this is advertised as a sharer. The mushrooms however were really tasty. Absolutely no complaints about the spag bol, it was absolutely delicious. However the calzone was cold in the middle and extremely burnt on the bottom and sides which we ate around. We are keen to try the other pasta dishes/risotto in the future as the spaghetti really was delicious.

Excellent food and friendly atmosphere. Was some issues with the power and tills on our visit but the staff seemed to cope well and no impact to the food

The food at Toto is great. We popped in on Tuesday night before the cinema. Pleased we booked online as they were close to running out of tables. One weird thing was making a Pina Colada with a vegan cream substitute. Not a problem if that's your thing but this wasn't highlighted on the menu and it definitely wasn't as nice as a classic Pina Colada.

The food is ok and the service is good too. However, it was a bit overpriced for what it was.

What a fantastic Italian restaurant, the food it very tasty and great value with large portions. They also do some great vegan options and you can even have a calzone with vegan cheese. I would totally recommend booking ahead as its usually quite busy. If you visit Newport why not ring ahead and see if they have a spare table so you can treat yourself to some great Italian food. 🇮🇹 🍕 😋👍

Tried pesto and cream Gnocchi and Mushroom Truffle Risotto. Both were amazing in taste. Portion size is perfect for one adult if paired with a side such as garlic bread. Authentic Italian taste (surely it’s authentic Italian restaurant as they don’t have Alfredo on their menu 😛) Customisations are available for vegans and vegetarians. Waiting staff was courteous. The service was a tad slow owing to busy times and prices are about 20% higher compared to mainland. 5 star otherwise.

Great food, broad food and drinks menu, fast service, lovely atmosphere. Have been a couple of times now and can’t fault the place!

Really lovely food and drinks, great staff and nicely decorated restaurant. Good options for vegans with many items able to be 'veganised'.

My son, who is something of a "pasta in tomato sauce" aficionado, reckoned this place served the best of its kind he'd ever tasted. If it was as good as the pasta I had, I'd have to agree.

We went on a Tuesday and couldn't get in as it was fully booked. So booked for the next night and weren't disappointed. Attentive, friendly staff. Great atmosphere and music. Starters were okay but the mains were superb. Biggest calzone I've ever had! Also nice to have an island beer as well. Glad we persevered.

Popped in for lunch - seafood linguine hubby had lasagne delicious - good service - that nice went back 2 days later for more

Worst experience ever.. the food wasn't bad but the service was just embarrassing.. never saw in my life such a disrespectful and unprofessional manager.. NEVER AGAIN!!! Owner should seriously consider to change manager.. rude as I never saw 😡😡😡

really nice place to have some authentic Italian food..

Great restaurant!!! the food was amazing and tasty. The employees were very welcoming and nice. I highly recommend it !!!

Popped in for lunch having made a booking and was pleasantly surprised by how good this place is. Friendly and attentive service, great food and good choice from the menu, including kids options. Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for lunch options in Newport

Delicious vegan pizza and if you're vegan or dairy free you know that it's hard to find! I actually tried a bite of my mum's dairy cheese pizza and preferred the vegan one! Thanks guys. Fast efficient service too :)

Decent pizza, not too expensive, nice place to sit

Géza Hofi had a joke that ended up saying: "can you swim? No. And if I pay you…” We went to an Italian restaurant in China after we could no longer tolerate the many bar food and tasteless food we ate during our stay in England, even though we really tried to eat in the best places. There is a tried and true Italian restaurant in Ryde but unfortunately it is closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. That is why the choice was made for the "Italian" restaurant, Toto, which looks traditional based on the description, photos and reviews. A little slow, but polite and kind service, simple and not at all Italian but acceptable interior, pleasant garden space on the church square. So apparently everything is fine. Carbonara is one of the simplest but trickiest Italian pastas, which is not only easy to mess up, but most places don't work with the original egg recipe in the first place, but with the cream version, which is a clear mockery of Italian cuisine... To our question, the waiter gave a clear and somewhat surprised answer as to how this dish is prepared. Of course, based on the original recipe. I think in the future you should also ask if the chef is Italian, or at least if he has been to Italy even once in his life :) The food was tasteless, poorly prepared, made with quality ingredients that did not match the recipe at all. Basically, we could only eat everything with a lot of salt, pepper and parmesan. I highly recommend it to anyone who doesn't know or doesn't like the flavors of Italian cuisine, and not to anyone else.

Booked a last minute table for 15. Staff were amazing. Be warned children portions are huge. The food felt very authentic.

Eaten here multiple times and always had a great meal with excellent service. Managed to squeeze us in without a reservation at short notice, despite the restaurant being very busy. Will be back without a doubt.

Good food, friendly staff, there was a delay on our mains so they gave us a free round of drinks. Recommend!

Phenomenal staff and excellent food. Absolutely top notch all round.

Just one word really...... 'Brilliant' From booking our table to settling the bill it was super. Nothing was too much trouble, even to dropping off a cake for my wife's birthday and on a thumbs up it was brought out to the table accompanied by staff singing. Just a big thankyou for the experience, top job one and all of you..... In the famous words.... 'I'll be back' 👍

Ordered the stuffed dough balls and absolutely loved them! But the tiramisu was not as good. Still I would overall rate the food 5 stars. Took my baby there and they did not have a changing station. That is the only thing I would say. 100 percent recommend!

Warm and welcoming with the best Italian food we’ve had for years

The pizza is good so far, but could have more flavor. The green salad had no salad dressing and was light. We were served very nicely.

The food was amazing and service to match. Staff were great. RECOMMENDED!

Good disappointing, lacking flavour and cold veg on top of hot pizza?

Lovely fresh pizzas here and the cocktails were also very good.

Cocktails were delicious, and the starter of assorted meats, cheese, and olives was amazing. Main course was tasty and fresh however the pasta was overdone not al dente. Service was very attentive.

A proper definition of 'hidden gem'. Tucked away from the high Street this rustic little place offers brilliant pizzas and pastas. I had a fab pizza just crisp and bubbly, with delicious toppings. Service was friendly & helpful and laid back. Would love to visit again. Delicious cocktails too!

Excellent service, great music and very accommodating, child friendly

We have eaten at Toto a number of times and have been very happy with the food served and the friendiness of the staff. The restaurant has adapted to our "mixing and matching" of items from the menu leaving us very satisfied and wanting to go back for future visits. The background music is usually very much to my taste which adds to the overall experience, enjoy.

One day at noon, I passed by and then entered this restaurant by coincidence, and I didn't expect it to amaze me! The taste of black truffle cream pasta is so rich, every noodle is wrapped in fragrance, bringing me an unprecedented experience. The taste of handmade pizza is very traditional and full of aroma. As soon as you eat the grilled sea fish, you can find that it is very fresh, and the fish is elastic and sweet. The only downside is that I had to wait a long time (more than 30 minutes)for these delicacies even though there were no other customers in restaurant at the time. Overall, this is a restaurant with normal prices that will surprise you and you won't be disappointed if you come here. Surprisingly, I didn't see this restaurant recommended in any social media, however it deserves the accolades.

Lovely modern restaurant. We turned up on a Friday evening without booking and they sorted us out with a table. The staff were delightfully helpful and catered for all our requests. The food was delicious, well cooked and presented. Definitely a place to stop by again!

Lovely calamari and salmon, relaxed pace of service, fab evening 😊
