The best restaurants serving Italian food in South East

This is a really fantastic restaurant which we've visited on a number of occasions now. The food is always fabulous - especially the penne alla Adolfo - and Giuseppe is a wonderful host. Can't wait to go back.

First meal out in Ringwood since moving to the area and now wondering whether anyplace could beat this. It was faultless. Gorgeous meal, fabulous wine, great service. Authentic surroundings. I couldn’t fault it. Thoroughly recommend trying this restaurant.

A great restaurant. Good choice on the menu. Nice to have children's menu. Very good service. Latest visit in August; still good service, good food and good value. Same applies to October visit.

Handy location, tables in and out. Our cappuccinos were too milky, almost no coffee in them - very disappointing. Lite bites on counter looked promising but we didn't try them.

Pizza was hot, tasty and on time! We’ll definitely be coming back

Brilliant restaurant, first time there. Food is really good.

Takeaway was absolutely vile. Cold, bland. Calamari was soggy and tasted like undercooked rubber. Avoid. Utter waste of money.

First time here as we were going to the Orchard, service a bit slow, think there was just one waitress possibly 2, both ordered pasta dishes which were not that great, neither very tasty, wasn't offered black pepper or parmesan so had to ask, could be so much better, won't go back.

I would like to say a huge thank you to Flora for such fantastic service. She was so welcoming and attentive, and made our evening. The food was delicious, however we found the veal a a little over cooked so we mentioned this to our waitress who promptly offered a replacement dish. Apart from this, the pasta dishes were delicious and I would highly recommend them, especially the carbonara. Thank you again Flora ❤️

I had a meal at Marrocco's (on Hove Seafront). The staff looked miserable and didn’t smile. After the main course I asked the waiter were the toilet was. Then when I went to go to the toilet, I saw it was up 4 really steep, narrow, winding and slippery steps. I went back and said to the 2 staff behind the counter that the toilet was inaccessible to me. They didn’t apologise or say anything. They didn’t make eye-contact and completely ignored me. The food isn’t much to write about either. Won’t be going back again.

Pizza crust was really good but the toppings were okayish

Very friendly, lovely food and service. Definitely recommend

Just enjoyed the Festive Set Menu for lunch - fabulous food and fantastic value at £28.50 for three courses. This is the second year that we've been for a Festive Lunch and we'll go again next year. We've eaten here many times and they've not let us down once.

Arranged our annual works Christmas meal in the private function room upstairs, from the initial organisation with Aadhil to the actual meal, the night was seamless, food and service were outstanding thanks to Jack and his team. Highly recommend.

Nice modern place. Friendly staff. Slightly overpriced for the amount of food you receive per dish, but good place. Also could do with options for those who have dietary requirements which is ashame.
