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

Nice size pizza but from my experience there could have been more topping for the price. I had it delivered so might be better having it in the restaurant next time so cannot really judge fully. It did have good toppings.

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

If you're looking for an unforgettable dining experience, look no further than Forno! We recently enjoyed a delightful dinner there and couldn’t be more thrilled. We ordered two 18-inch pizzas for our family of four, and let me tell you, each bite was a taste of perfection! What really stands out is their wood-fired sourdough pizza—it’s a game-changer! The crust is beautifully crispy on the outside while remaining perfectly soft and chewy on the inside. It's the perfect balance of flavors that leaves you feeling satisfied without that heavy, overstuffed feeling afterward. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it an ideal spot for families. You’ll leave with memories of delicious food and a desire to return for more! If you're looking for a place that serves incredible pizza and offers a wonderful dining experience, Forno should be at the top of your list. Don’t miss out on this gem—your taste buds will thank you!

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.

I have been coming to Barolos for many years and they never fail to disappoint with any aspect of your time there. The service is outstanding and the food matches the service, which is made better on a special occasion where the staff will sing to you!

Lovely food, really happy with the value

Amazing experience, best pizzeria in Bournemouth!!!

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)!

Very good Italian restaurant. The food and service was first class.

Tasty ice cream and excellent size scoop 😋😋😋
