The best restaurants serving Italian food in New Forest South East

It might look like a cafe on the outside (if you can find it), but there’s a proper restaurant with a proper kitchen on the inside. A small but varied menu, good portions and tasty. The chef was out among the guests, taking orders and asking if all ok. Well placed confidence. We would definitely return.

Excellent restaurant for couples and families.

A very good family run Italian restaurant

Good Italian meal. We had pizzas + calzone and desert and all were really enjoyable. The only slight negative is that we didn't think there was anything wow, about our meal, so it was good - not wow!

I really enjoyed my mussels and pasta! A bit of feedback would be to serve the mozzarella with better tomatoes - even in winter in the U.K. one can get ones with some flavour ☺️

Wow, loved this place. Great food, wine and a lovely room Thank you for a great night

You know when you discover a gem but don't want to tell too many people because it will get too busy. Fantastic food 😋 ❤️

My Husband and l went for dinner, and it was Fabulous!!! Starters and main course were amazing!!! Highly recommend this great restaurant!!!

A chilly Wednesday evening but the restaurant was absolutely packed. Great food and friendly efficient service: the portions are generous and we ended up taking some home. The ragu is so good I have it on every visit even when I’d like to try something new. Likewise, my wife always has the king prawns with pasta and a touch of chilli - excellent. Well worth a visit and advisable to book in advance.

Over salted food. Very small portions and very over priced. Not tasty but served in nice environment. 36£ for 9 pieces of pasta not acceptable

Fantastic night great food and owner and wife fantastic company. Service as always excellent. Best Zagbiloni ever . Thank you both.

Last Friday I had a best Gorgonzola burger with a nice flavour and preparation,juice burger and truffle fries also delicious we really recommend it

Staff were excellent, food was individually prepared and great quality. The food was authentic Italian and well presented.

Just about to change management but we've met the new owner. He guarantees lots of seafood. As he says " he's from Sicily so should know how to cook seafood". Looking forward to it.

This is a real little gem! The food is really lovely, tasty and fresh. The restaurant is very welcoming and the service was brilliant. Not over priced which in today’s market is unusual. We would happily come here again
