Vicolo in Bournemouth

Best pizza in town , everything’s delicious . Friendly staff . If you want to try a proper Neapolitan pizza go there !! Never disappointing

Top end Italian— from Italians. Bake their own bread, red sauce ✅, service and drinks are very good. Ownership catering to your questions and needs. Best Italian since Tuscany.

Can easily say Vicolo is the best Italian restaurant I have been too, I would travel back to Bournemouth from West Sussex just to eat here again. The food was amazing and the service brilliant. Such friendly welcoming staff I couldn’t fault it. I had a lovely birthday meal with my husband and we both thought it was fantastic.

Just had the greatest pizza I’ve ever had. The whole experience was amazing from start to finish. Anca was very accommodating for my Gluten Free wife. Thank you everyone

This place is perfect if you want to enjoy the Italian food, we tried pizza and pasta, it was excellent. The tiramisu for dessert was amazing, the best we ate ever. Moreover, the restaurant staff is extremely friendly, so kind ! We recommend !

My wife and I went again to have dinner at Vicolo and celebrate our anniversary. Once again we had an evening worth telling. Great food, wines and desserts, but what makes this restaurant special is the teamwork of all the staff to create the perfect environment with maximum care in detail, reaching excellence. It is a perfect combination between good food and wonderful human treatment. If you have any doubt, highly recommended.

Tasty, fresh food with great service. A lovely welcome and took time to explain the menu and answer our questions. Finished with a gorgeous gelatto.

Amazing food, wine and service! A hidden gem of truly authentic Italian food. Our third visit and again we cannot fault anything. Warm welcome, great specials and superb food and drink for all tastes. The pizza and pasta are delicious and made with properly sourced Italian ingredients. The best Italian food I’ve ever had in the UK! We’ll be back again soon as we work through the menu. Love this place and we can’t recommend it highly enough.

Just visited Vicolo today with my family. The pizzas were the best that I've had in Bournemouth (lived here for 13 years). The service was very friendly and quick. The prices aren't cheap but the food is of such high quality that it's hard to grumble! A really great little restaurant and I'm looking forward to my next visit already!

First time here. Lovely and welcoming atmosphere with tables taken by happy customers. Had the bread and olives as a sharing starter where the olive oil was lovely with a hint of sweetness 👌 I had the King prawns with linguine and my boyfriend had the beef and pork meatballs with linguine both really good dishes 👌 followed by tiramisu 👌 and the rum baba my boyfriend said was really nice! Friendly attentive staff. Will definitely be back 👌👏❤️

Best Italian place by a mile! Only original recipes , great ingredients and lovely atmosphere. Will definitely come here a lot

Visited with my wife for her Birthday meal last night. My wife is Gluten Intolerant and this was by far the best pizza she has had out since being diagnosed a few years ago. I had pizza too and I must say the whole experience was delightful. The food, service and welcome were 2nd to none and we will definitely be back when next in Bournemouth.

Fabulous authentic Italian pizzas and pasta. Lovely welcome and attentive service from our waitress. This restaurant deserves to do well.

Just in bournemouth for the weekend what a good find. I had spaghetti carbonara in this restaurant and it was the best I’ve ever had, and I had it all over Italy and world. The service the food was all excellent definitely worth a visit. It was like being back in Italy with Italian staff. Fantastic. Thank you

The best pizza in the United Kingdom The food quality is superb The staff is super lovely and caring Love it

From booking to leaving the restaurant the whole Vicolo team made my Wife’s 40th birthday very special in the private room. 23 of us enjoyed fantastic food and great service. Nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely be going again very soon. Highly recommend

Had a delicious lunch in a really authentic and friendly Italian and was able to take our dog. Would really highly recommend and will definitely return.

Visited here with friends, one of whom is Italian, on the recommendation of their (also Italian) colleague, who also happened to be there the same evening - a good sign! On a busy Saturday night, booking is recommended. We were seated downstairs, which probably isn't...

I can’t praise this restaurant highly enough. We hadn’t booked but they were happy to accommodate us if we used a small table by the window. We had n problem with this as from walking through the door the restaurant had a wonderful warm atmosphere....

I visited with three friends and the food was utterly delicious. The staff were attentive and very friendly. Good atmosphere and extremely good value for money. Would love to go back when next in Bournemouth :)

Spanish Night!! Best Paella ever! Amazing atmosphere with lovely staff!! Will definitely be back again! Plus side….Vinnie is very sexy

Hard to find a restaurant like Vicolo, amazing food and service! The spanish evening that they do it’s incredible, food is perfect

The restaurant opened especially for us for a special occasion (party of 30) Fantastic antipasta starter followed by pasta and several sauces. The seafood pasta was especially good. Wonderful service. Thankyou

Light and friendly atmosphere with excellent food would highly recommend this restaurant which also recommends wine pairings with your dish on the menu

Went here for my birthday. Staff were lovely and amazing. Food was delicious and had one of the best gin I’ve ever tasted. Will definitely be returning and recommending to our friends.

The starters where tasty !! Nice fresh food only disappointment was the Pizza's had soggy bottom's !!

One of the best Pizzas we have ever had. Fresh, light and yet filling. The food was outstanding. We 3 all had different Pizzas and all really pleased with our choices. The homemade chilli oil has a real kick too. Staff were all lovely and...

Pleasant staff with a lovely welcome Nice open and spacious restaurant. Drinks very reasonably priced as was the food. Starters were excellent. We both had the special. Main courses very tasty and nice sized portions. The pizza was enormous! Recommend a visit here.

WOW, Just Wow! We booked the room downstairs as we were a party of 15 for our son's 21st birthday. An excellent recommendation for not only us, but all the diners in the upstairs (and main) part of the restaurant!!!! All of our guests enjoyed...

A handy little restaurant that looks to have so much promise but falls short. Both the pasta dishes I chose were disappointing. The pasta was OK but the sauces lacked depth and with the meatball dish they were tiny and tasteless. Pizzas are a better...

We visited for the first time, the night before the Bournemouth triathlon. It was busy but a great atmosphere and our reserved table was in a great place to people watch. I’m coeliac and the waiter / manager spoke with great confidence and understanding about...

Managed to fit us in although they were busy. Food was great and the service was excellent. Highly recomended.

Fantastic experience, great choice of dishes. I am coeliac, and the chef came out and explained the menu in great detail. All meals prepared carefully to avoid cross-contamination. The service was exceptional, and even though the restaurant was busy, we did not have to wait...

Visited for lunch 31st Aug 2023 following Trip Advisor search, and was not disappointed. Absolutely fantastic restaurant. Seriously tasty and authentic pizzas and really attentive and friendly service. Totally recommend

Found this lovely little place by accident and really enjoyed our visit. The food was great and so was the service. Highly recommended!

A great meal that made me feel like I was back home in Italy, I came to visit Bournemouth with my girlfriend and came to Vicolo at 8:30 without a booking and they happily sat us down, attentive staff and authentic food will be back...

We went to Vicolo for our 10 year wedding anniversary, they were so accommodating and lovely. the food was just as amazing as the staff. we will definitely be back!

My pasta, bruschetta and tiramisu was very delicious!, the staff are very friendly I recommend I will definitely be back! See you soon

Finally a proper italian restaurant. Incredible food, fantastic service and atmosphere. Highly recommend to everyone who cares about quality of food and ingredients, i will definitely be back.

What's not to love? All the staff are really friendly and welcoming - you really get the sense that they are passionate about what they do. You are spoilt for choice with the menu - the only problem is deciding what to have as it...

Fantastico! Lovely authentic Italian meal, you will not be disappointed. The place was full which shows how popular Vicolo is- book so as not to be disappointed! I would highly recommend- the service was excellent and the food absolutely fabulous!!!! There was a kids menu...

Best pizza hands down in Bournemouth. A mini Italy getaway on the UK coast a must see attraction of this seaside town

Beautiful restaurant attentive staff made to feel welcome. Food was amazing really enjoyed the experience the restaurant was busy but no delay on food

The service and hospitality was unmatched as well as the food. The starters were big portions as well as yummy (would recommend the meatballs!) Stumbled across Vicolo while visiting Bournemouth but will definitely be back again! Thanks!

Great original napolitan pizza, truly the best one in town! I have tried gnocchi alla sorrentina as well, and they are great! I recommend this place as everything in the menu will make you feel like in Napoli italy. Definitely will come back! Thank you...

The food is amazing! The service is excellent and friendly team We come back again! Authentic pizza and pasta!

In Bournemouth for the weekend and so glad we came here. Literally in the best 3 pizzas I’ve eaten in my life, incredible dough and crust. The service was fantastic, they seemed to pre empt every question or need and it’s so nice to be...

I’m a doctor and I can tell you for free that the calabrese should be offered on prescription, as a treatment for depression. My wife had a montanarina. The setting truly reminded me of our wedding on the Amalfi coast! And, after that pizza, her...

SO GOOD!!! Genuinely the best Italian I’ve ever been to in the Uk, food and people are so nice- family vibe. Definitely come here, the desserts are so good as well everything tasted so fresh, I’ve been back so many times.

If you want great tasting authentic Italian food this is the place to go. Great location in the town centre of Bournemouth. My husband and I visit at least twice a month as a treat. The food is amazing and fresh, the staff are friendly...

I was taken to vicolos for my birthday, couldn't of asked for better night, great food, great service, suprise "happy birthday " & lovely cakes...will definitely come again & will recommend to everyone...

Great service and lovely staff! So helpful and loads of gluten free and vegetarian options! The 5 cheese pizza is incredible! So cheesy! The desserts were also very nice and not too sickly. Can’t complain about a thing :) Will definitely come again!!

The meal was fine but I am not happy with the Hidden charges I call it. Discretionary service charge is absolutely ridiculous specially when the server doesn’t deserve it!!! DO NOT PAY this charge I’d you are not happy with the device.

As I walked in I was welcomed by a very generous, friendly, professional and heartwarming gentleman called Vlad. Introduced himself, excellent communication skills, good quality service, very flexible and made sure I was comfortable and happy with the service and products👌🏽 The food, drinks, ambience...

An absolutely beautiful meal, with a fantastic service. So pleased to have chosen this venue in Bournemouth! We went for the shared starter platter and pizzas for mains. The fizzy wines (we tried red and white) were really good too. we topped off our meal...

Amazing place, amazing food and amazing staff! What else to say?! Just go and try it yourself 😉 it’s deffinely worth it.. Highly recommend!!! 🤌🏼

A Good, family friendly, pizza restaurant in the centre of Bournemouth able to cater for a variety of dietary needs and the small portion sizes needed by elderly people. Many dishes available for Vegetarians and those on a gluten free diet.

If you are looking Neapolitan pizza then you will not be disappointed. Perfect Napoli style pizza and absolutely delicious!

Visited the Vicolo on Friday16th June. The staff were friendly and the restaurant has a nice feel to it. My wife and both chose a different pizza and a bottle of wine to accompany our food. The wine was good as was the pizza, the...

We had pizza and spaghetti bolognaise. The pizza was bland and cheese stoggy. The pasta was dry and bland. Friendly attentive staff but Expensive food and we definitely wouldn’t return!

We were looking for somewhere to have lunch on a day out in Bournemouth yesterday (15th June) and the Vicolo had caught our eye on Tripadvisor. Eventually we found it after a few wrong turns on Google maps, but we were glad we persevered! It...

Nice meal. Food excellent. Beautiful garlic bread , meatballs and crispy prawns to start. Seafood pasta and Diavolo pizza really authentic in terms of presentation and flavour! Lovely shot of limoncello too at the end. Service was good once we were seated, however I absolutely...

Brilliant, authentic Italian. We had 2 evenings in a row here. Pizza and pasta were top notch! Great service from Dani and team.

Amazing food, just like being back in Italy. Some of it even better! Good alcohol free options as well, and the fritto was incredible. Definitely will be coming back.

5 out of 5. They deserve it. Food very tasty and the waitress helpful and friendly. Try the parppardelle ai fungi with guanciale. Delicious

I want to let you know about the lousy experience I had today (sunday the 4th) at your place, I made a booking for 5 people at the website for 4pm, and on the booking page it said "your table will be available from 4pm...

We loved this authentic Neapolitan restaurant with mouthwatering dishes on the menu. The pizza was perfect. Our waitress was genuinely kind and passionate about her job and the service was flawless. Loved the ambience and the original details. We’ll defo visit again when in the...

What a fantastic find in the town centre. The whole meal was fantastic. Creamy mozzarella, fluffy crust pizza and brilliant service. Transported to Italy on a summer evening in Bournemouth. Danny gave great service and really great value for money. We’ll be back!

Great small Italian off the beaten track. Service quick and friendly food delicious and well cooked. Would definitely visit again

Visited this great restaurant last night for the first time 31/05/23 after reading so many good reviews we thought we’d give it a try. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. The food was amazing. My husband had gamberi I had bruschetta for starters then my...

Quality and tradition,a very good pizza. Great dough,also the gluten free one. The use of ingredients and products is also of the highest quality. The Neapolitan pizza that everyone should taste. The service was fantastic and there was a really nice atmosphere. Super recommended.

We visited here on Saturday evening. We hadn't booked but were lucky enough to get a table. Our waitress was lovely, great customer service and on the ball. This was the case for all the other staff we met. My son was made very welcome...

An unexpected gem, great service and fabulous food, staff were very attentive and couldn’t do enough for us. Friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone. Can’t wait to return on our next visit to Bournemouth!

Both starters and mains excellent, coming with a great friendly service. Fantastic Italian, very highly recommended

One of the best spots in Bournemouth. Authentic Napolitano cuisine; everything is made in house. The owner and staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Overall excellent experience

A little hidden gem just off the high street in Bournemouth. The food is a breath of fresh air, it is tasty, good portions, and good price. It genuinely felt like i was in a small restaurant in Napoli. The tiramisu is the best i...

Absolutely blown away with the taste and presentation of the food ! Amazing colours. Service was excellent , so nice to get a pint on tap instead of paying silly prices on skimpy bottle beers ! Thank you all for a great evening

Delicious food and great service. Starters, mains and dessert all fabulous - especially the tiramisu! Would definitely eat here again.

Just been here for lunch service was incredible, all the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Food was the best Italian food I have had in the UK, very authentic Italian cuisine. Would recommend and will be definitely be coming back.

Absolutely excellent. What can I say about this place. We visited as a family of 3 (with a 9yr old). The service was great, the restaurant was excellent and the food was amazing. We’ve recently been to Rome and have been missing authentic Italian food...

We had a fabulous meal last night. The service was very friendly and helpful. The front of house man was really keen to ensure we enjoyed our meal at its best. The waiting staff were really friendly and attentive. We had bruschette, which was fresh...

Wow how amazing is this place, we dined here and the food was amazing, my husband loves a calzone and when it came out it was just massive, food is lovely, truly Italian authentic!!

We had lunch there yesterday for about the 10th time and continue to be impressed by the high standard of all the food. Their Lasagne must be probably the best in town and the Tiramisu is unmatched in our experience. Everything that we have tried...

First time visiting Bournemouth and so glad I found Vicolo. My partner and I wanted to have an early dinner on a Saturday night and a quick Google maps search came up with a long list, but not many with a 5-star rating as Vicolo...

My family and I visited the restaurant tonight after reading all of the great reviews, however this was the complete opposite experience for us. I am not one to complain, but I feel I have to express my complete dissatisfaction on this occasion. When we...

My 2 best friends and I had our disco themed birthday party in the PDR. Vincenzo had been amazing from start to finish, whatever we needed in terms of planning and staying in communication all the time. On the night all of our friends were...

The food and the staff were both incredible. They did so much for us to ensure we had the best night. Thank you so much

Delicious no alcoholic cocktails, well presented small plates ,perfect to share and most important AUTHENTIC NEAPOLITAN PIZZA !!!!!! Prepared with passion and...

Amazing place and lovely service by Fabiana, wine recommendation was amazing and food was banging. Wonderful little spot and not too pricy

Nothing is too much trouble. The pizzas are superb. Homemade cheesecake. Just how a restaurant should be.

Very nice food. Staff polite and attentive. Definitely visit again when back in Bournemouth. Give it a try you won’t be disappointed.

I visited on opening night and loved it! It had a lovely atmosphere, the staff were super friendly and the food and drinks were incredible. I had the Vesuvio pasta and the Amalfi Coast cocktail which were both to die for. Cannot recommend this place...

Brilliant ! The food was excellent, I’ve had all over the place and always make a point of trying to find the best pizza when we travel. But having this today, I honestly can think of a better pizza, but not just that, everything was...

Fantastic authentic Italian (Napolitano) cuisine. Fresh interior and new setting with dedicated staff. We will definitely be back next time we visit from Norway!

It was more of an evening with friends than a meal in a restaurant. The food was excellent with a bit of a modern twist. Check out the cheesecake desert!!! The service was out of this world and the bill was reasonable.
