The best restaurants serving Italian food in Isle of Wight South East

This is a great restaurant with a menu that changes regularly so you will never be disappointed. The fresh produce and great wine choices make this an excellent experience. Presentation of food is fantastic and the staff are friendly with great service throughout the entire evening.

What a treat! Pizza to die for!! Great selection, prepped and cooked in front of your eyes in an impressive wood fired oven. Fully licenced. Would definitely recommend and will certainly be going again. Bravo!

Laurel and Alex catered for our wedding this year and we can no recommend them enough! We love Mediterranean food and wanted something as a tapas style and they came up with the most amazing sounding menu....We were absolutely blown away when we went for the tasting session with them and they made the whole process really stress-free. There was not 1 person at our wedding who was not bowled over by the food we had on our wedding day and we still have friends and family talking about it now and wanting the recipes!!! We just want to say a massive thank you to Alex and Laurel for going above and beyond to help make our day unforgettable and we will definitely be recommending you to everyone!!!!

Wonderful food and excellent service. Cosy atmosphere. We've been to the Island many times but never found this little gem... we will be back!

Absolutely incredible food! Highly recommend, would go again!

Delicious food, nice ambiance and lovely staff. Would definitely come bacn

Amici's ravioli is divine! Fresh pasta, rich filling, and perfect sauce. A true Italian delight!

Friendly local Italian in Carisbrooke which was walking distance from our holiday let so we gave it a try. Overall a pleasant enough dinner, £23 bottle of Sauvignon properly chilled, attentive service, free bread. Decor is rather dated though not as off-putting as photos had suggested, the pasta dishes were tasty and - oddly perhaps - came with a choice of salad or vegetables. The latter (including roast potatoes) would seem more fitting with a Sunday roast than a plate of penne but were nicely cooked and great if you want to really fill up. My chicken with pepper and seafood was a disappointment - somewhat dry chicken breasts in a gravy that wasn't nearly as rich as one might have hoped and generally lacked flavour despite some interesting ingredients. Perhaps I was unlucky. Certainly the place seemed popular and maybe I should have had a pizza.

The worst and soggiest calamari fritti I have ever had served, with overlarge salad and no dressing. Large dog carpeted the floor. Italian version of Mrs Overall waited on, in character. Huge rectangular comedy plate dwarfed the already tiny tables. My Italian relatives will not be coming here.

Amazing food and service. My mum and I visited the Isle of Wight and I had read that this restaurant served gluten free food. We didn’t see that they had decided to close for lunch that day so I was so so disappointed as I had driven there for that reason. They decided to serve just my mum and me so we had the whole restaurant for ourselves, it was just the kindest thing and so so appreciated. The food was amazing. What a incredible service just truly grateful. Best place to eat.

Pleasantly surprised on our first visit to this restaurant, the service was excellent and the staff were on point and overall a very good night out. The sourdough pizzas were very good a long with the starters and salads that our group had and I doubt it will be our last visit either.

Excellent pizzas at Freshwater Bay, eaten by the Travelling Tavern on a sunny evening. Difficult to beat! Great price too. Highly recommended.

The welcome was first rate. I’m guessing that there was a little problem with staff communication. The young lady who served our drinks was struggling, as some of our party had to wait some time. The food came out at roughly the same time. We were a party of 21. Food. The mixed grill. You couldn’t fault the amount of mixed meats. Lamb and beef, I asked for rare and was told that it couldn’t be done as the meats were cooked in a “package”. The meats came out universally “well done. It seemed to me that they were fairly new to the business and training new staff at the same time. My wife and I, intending returning as a couple next year. Given the amount of effort they’re putting in, I hope they succeed.

Food was superb, cocktails were delicious and the service was amazing!!!

Fab lasagne, as always. Really friendly staff.
