The best restaurants serving Italian food in Portsmouth South East

Julia at the Portsmouth Gunwharf branch was fantastic, amazing service and great food! Would happily recommend

Isa served us and she was so kind and went above and beyond. Really lovely restaurant with great food.

The calzone was cold with no chilli ,the calamari was cold and bruschetta was just a punnet of half cut tomatoes no bread barely any onion the portion of ravioli was very small for nearly 17.00 pound a portion

Meal was very good with pleasant staff, however the ambience was spoilt by a ‘gentleman’ sat a few tables away from us who became engaged on a loud lengthy phone conversation with a friend of his, with frequent use of the ‘f’ word, albeit in a jocular manner. This was early on a Monday evening before the restaurant got busy and it took all my patience not to complain to him or the staff who I am sure must have been aware of his selfish, moronic behaviour as it was so difficult to ignore. I don’t go to restaurants to hear other people’s personal phone conversations; why don’t they have the common sense and decency to do this in a private place? Would have been a five star rating but for this issue.

Absolutely awful ! Table was booked after twenty minutes I had to find someone to order food even tho the place was nearly empty I thought my drinks were coming from China they took so long, under the impression staff couldn’t wait to go home ! The table next to me had to ask for service to order food and the table behind me had hair in their food !! And when I paid the bill using my voucher the waitress looked at me like I was talking Russian !! Under trained staff and just pure misery experience such a shame I used to love this place

Loved this place for drinks with my family. corrected photo now KB

Wow! This has gone downhill since our last visit. I normally have the spinach & ricotta cannelloni but this was not available, why? I have no idea, it's not a huge menu and there are very few veggie choices so they should at least offer the ones on the menu. I was given 2 options, a rice dish that I don't like or the signature dish Penne Giardiniera. So the Penne Giardiniera arrived looking insipid, it was hardly warm , the spinach balls were tiny and tasteless, and the 3rd one had a gross crunchy something in it, needless to say, I did not finish the others, the pasta itself only tasted of garlic, strong garlic at that, Its the first resturant lunch I have left. Hubbies offering was hardly better, over-cooked black burnt edges lasagne.

Thanks to all staff for a great night from the quick drinks as we arrived right through to the deserts very helpful staff and always happy special thanks to Carmo give them a try !!

Booked a Roast Deal and it didn't disappoint. Had 2 for 1 cocktails, which were lovely and a great price. The young waitress was good. A great offer for people on low incomes, to enable them to have a treat.

We ordered carbonara which sadly had no flavour, a portion of fries which didn’t come and a burger and chips meal deal which was cold.

Ladies and gentlemen, this evening I come to you slightly disappointed . I ordered a garlic stuffed crust. What is this???? thin crust you see? I just had to keep pushing p like a certified yn and still leave a 5 star review because the service was dashing 10/10 absolute cinema

ordered 2 meals - neither was toasted as ordered, both were missing cheese, one side of waffle fries was missing and the other was cold. overall worst experience I've had with subway. Definitely only get in restaurant and avoid delivery as their standards disappear
