The best restaurants serving Italian food in East Dorset South West

I was fortunate as the much maligned “Grumpy “ landlord was in fine form & most convivial. The hospitality was first rate, the premises excellent with good beer & even the guard-dog demanded attention & a belly rub. I would thoroughly recommend this venue. Only negative was the entertainment; England v Scotland which was pants !

Great evening once again! Met up with friends just before Christmas, great food, all freshly cooked and reasonable prices. The staff were excellent, polite and friendly. The house red was good and went down well too!

Delicious food and friendly staff

Staying at 1777 and this restaurant is close by. Booked and this is advised at weekends I should think. Tables are turned around quickly, helpful staff, reasonably priced and food freshly cooked. I did feel it is an eat and move on location but that may be because it was a busy night. A large group arrived which increased the volume but that cannot be helped, the only trouble was one of the group kept putting his arm in the seat. This is not the restaurant’s fault but we soon moved on.

We visited with some friends for the first time today. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and the food delicious. We’ll be back.

Wonderful Georgian building. Staff very pleasant and helpful. Food was tasty. Great choice for Gluten free and vegan. Overall very happy!
