The best restaurants serving Italian food in Westbourne and West Cliff Bournemouth South West

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

I've ordered twice now as a coeliac and they've always been able to accommodate for my gluten free request. They do advise that they cannot guarantee that it's 100% safe but they take precautions, so I took the risk and never had any problems. Not fantastic pizza in my opinion but I don't tend to be amazed by pizza in general, so take my comment with a pinch of salt. My partner loved his though (non gluten free)!

This is bonkers Says visit website for menu !!!!! Advitises Brewers Fayre ?????? had a meal here some time back food is lovely staff wonderful

The restaurant is comfortable and in a good location in Westbourne. The pricing was very good. Unfortunately only 2 out of the 4 from our party enjoyed their meals. The 'piquante' pasta had no heat and seemed to be a tomatoe sauce pasta with lumps of sausage. the chicken pesto ciabbata was dry. The burgers and chips were ok though. we saw some english breakfasts go past that looked good.

Went there with my wife to celebrate both of our Birthdays. She booked a table for us, but when we went to the restaurant, we were given a table which we didn't like really. We preferred a table close to the windows and although there were quite a few free tables, the owner (I think he might be the owner because he was acting like that) was rude and didn't give us a choice to sit in a table we liked. However, we decided to order starters. I ordered a Calamari Fritti, and it looked nice and all but was flavourless and bland. Then for the mains I got a spaghetti vongole. I don't know why but that came bland and flavourless as well, just some spaghetti with no cream or whatsoever. Actually my stomach felt really bad after the dinner as well. But the dishes my wife ordered were OK tho. The waiting staff were actually really good and kind! But the one who's incharge of bookings, who I think might be the owner, was rude and didn't know how to serve his customers. Worst italian restaurant I've been to in Dorset.

I have been going to Pinnocchio for 20 years. There are new owners and the menu has been reduced. Prices high and sarcastic service. So sad old favourites have been removed. It would normally have been full full full on a weekend but now i know why half empty. Such a shame.

Food excellent And our waitress extremely pleasant and cheerful. Always friendly here too. Amazing scenery

Lovely meal. Could not fault this restaurant for fabulous food and attentive staff. If I lived in Bournemouth I would go every week.
