The best restaurants serving Italian food in Bournemouth South West

delicious Italian food very nice and efficient service ... quality of food at a very high level❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

We visited Etna restaurant again and it was amazing again the food was superb and it was so large portions thank you chef . And the waitress was very helpful and helpful looking forward to visit again.

Amazing pizza! The best dough since my visit to Tuscany in 2018. Lovely staff and a tasty Sauvignon wine. Highly recommend.

We tried this restaurant after walking past a couple of times recently, and we are so glad we did! We were seated whilst the restaurant was fairly quiet, and were pleased to find homemade pastas that were a little different to most average Italian restaurants, we had spaghetti with clams, perfect pasta with huge clams, seasoned beautifully, and truffle tagliatelle served at the table in a Parmesan wheel, which was quite possibly the nicest thing I have eaten in a long time! Perfect portion sizes and small but very decent wine list. We also tried the homemade tiramisu which was fantastic too! Service was friendly even though the young lady serving us was on her own with 20+ customers! We will definitely be returning and recommending to family and friends! Thanks for a lovely evening!

Fabulous meal and cracking staff, made to feel very welcome and the food was stunning. Very relaxed, one of my best evenings out of the year

Ordenó una pizza en línea para la recogida (se obtiene un 20% de descuento si recoge) y eran rápidos, eficientes y súper amables. Más importante aún, la pizza es genial. Corteza fina, buena salsa, mucha cobertura, ¡cómo debe ser una pizza! He comido aquí en el restaurante anteriormente también, y es todo de primera categoría!

Sí, recomiendo este lugar. Tuve un almuerzo encantador aquí con los viejos. Bonita decoración Personal amigable. Darle una oportunidad.

Really nice Pizza, really nice people and very well priced 🍕

We really enjoyed our visit to Gio’s. The food was amazing- the portions were generous. The service was great and super friendly. I would definitely go again and will be taking friends and family there.

What to say? I’ve been going to Barolo with friends for decades, and we’ve loved it every time. On our most recent trip we talked for some time about how much we love that there is always something fabulous and new, from the wonderful menu ( we haven’t found anything we haven’t liked!) to the new plates! Such attention to detail. The service goes beyond any expectations and we loved the particularly good house wine. As always, we booked our next visit before we left!

Table for 7 (5 kids). Really friendly and quick service. Good atmosphere. Food was excellent. Had pasta, pizza, kids meals and desserts. Good portions and reasonably priced. Will definitely come back when in town

We've been coming to Da Mario's for years now, always enjoyed it and been using Uber Eats to order to home for a few months now, and again, never a problem. Until our order on 27th November where my partner ordered a Vegetarian for myself and a Ciao for herself (which she always gets) - the description on both Uber and their website advises "chicken, mushroom and sweetcorn" ... nothing else. My partner is allergic to onions, and has had this pizza many times with no problem. However on this occasion after ordering and being notified our Pizza would be with us in 45minutes. We didn't receive it for just under 2 hours and when we finally did, my partners pizza was covered in onions. We called Da Mario's who advised us that we would need to speak to Uber eats who are "24/7" as the order was placed through them, even though it was Da Mario's who' messed the order up, and acknowledged that they made this mistake over the phone. We were unable to get through to Uber eats customer service for several days and they've eventually responded to a complaint raised by email to advise they won't be giving a refund. So to highlight this, we've paid nearly £30 for a couple of cold pizzas that had gone nearly soggy due to how long they took to get to us, one of which was made completely wrong by the restaurant and my partner couldn't eat and we're out of pocket.... Not happy. I'd like to think the restaurant would acknowledge this and offer some form of compensation, even it was to come in for a free pizza, but I'm never confident with places taking ownership these days of situations like this. Shame after being regular customers for nearly 5 years. 02/02/2025 - Update. Since the above happened on 27/11/24, more than 2 months ago. And nearly 2 months since I reviewed, I still haven't had a reply or even acknowledgment from Di Mario's owners/staff regarding our experience and the mistake their staff made that left us out of pocket. But it's near comical they immediately responded to another customer today to defend their cash only policy, seems they pick and choose to ignore genuine negative experiences and reviews, and only respond to ones that are easy to answer. Just in case the owners do see this, not that it'll make much of a difference to your business, but you've lost our custom which we've been giving you for years now. I hope you take ownership moving forward of your mistakes and poor customer service, otherwise you'll run the risk of losing more and more customers down the line.

Phoned up for collection at 21:10 (they close at 22:00), so I didn't need to sit in, I just needed to collect my food and go. Alas they informed me that the kitchen was closed already. It would of only taken them 10 minutes to do our order. They need to specify on their info that they don't accept orders after a certain time. I could understand if I was phoning them after 21:30 as they obviously need time to clean things down before they leave.

Tasty ice cream and excellent size scoop 😋😋😋

Visitó Ballagio durante el período de tiempo de The Twixmas. Incluso a las 6 pm estaba ocupado con un gran ambiente. El personal fue amable durante toda nuestra comida. Revisando si todo estaba bien. La comida estaba bien para los platos principales de pizza y pasta. Los entrantes (particularmente los calamares) no eran tan buenos. Me sentí como productos congelados y no cocinado bien. Lo volvería a visitar.
