The best restaurants serving Italian food in Ferndown Links East Dorset South West

I recently ordered a takeaway from Chianti Italian Restaurant, and I was extremely disappointed with the quality of the food. The squid rings (calamari) were pale, undercooked, rubbery, and completely unappetizing. The Spaghetti Carbonara was just as bad—made with stale-tasting pasta and processed bacon bits. At £14.50 for the dish, I expected far better than something that resembled a cheap ready meal from Tesco. Using box pasta and mixing in toppings from pizzas is unacceptable. My partner's meal, the Penne con Vegetali, was no better. It was just box pasta with chopped pizza vegetables, despite being advertised as containing asparagus and artichoke. There were only a few flakes of artichoke and some tiny green stems that might have been asparagus. We spent £80 in total on this takeaway, but the quality was shockingly poor. Unfortunately, Chianti failed to deliver on all fronts, and I would not recommend this place to anyone.
