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!!!!

Lovely food amazing Doug ball's definitely recommended

The most beautiful restaurant! Visited today with my husband, the whole place has a warm and cosy feel, the lady who served us was excellent, attentive and really friendly. The food though.... wow, the bruschetta was so lovely, lamb kleftico was super tender and the dessert was gorgeous! I had sticky toffee pudding and hunny had the ice cream ball which was massive! We will back with the kids next time. Real gem of Ryde and highly recommend! Thank you 😊

Fantastic place for food amazing quality and good prices would highly recommend to anyone. Summer and angelo the waitresses were out standing could not fault them.

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.

We stumbled across Da Vinci Mediterranean restaurant by accident and thought we'd try it for lunch. Absolutely delicious...smoked salmon bruschetta, seafood spaghetti and mushroom risotto, with a bottle of prosecco. Great portions and very tasty. Friendly staff who didn't rush us. Will definitely go back.

It was a lovely meal. We had chorizo and chicken skewers for starters and salads with three toppings of our choose and grief chicken thigh dish with salad, fries and vegetable. Everything was delicious and yes you had to wait a bit for a food to be served but it's been done from scratch so it takes a time. Worth waiting for. I wanted to mention a lovely staff too, Plum and Luis and Amazing Julia who was helping preparing food and Fabbio ofcourse. All of you went extra mile to make our meal special. Thank you so much. We will be back soon xx

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.
