The best restaurants serving Italian food in Poole South West

Had salted caramel and it did no disappoint, nice cone and service, great gelato five stars on all accounts, no debate whatsoever

Food amazing, staff attentive but not over the top, check backs done after every course. Approximately 8 tables you will need to book, we went Friday night and they had to turn people away. A hidden jewel

I have to say that this place won my heart, simply one of the best pizzerias in the town. Excellent service, everyone was super smiling and made me and my friends feel at home, they were super friendly with our dog and everyone in the restaurant were happy to have her there. The food is beyond words, the pizza made in the wood oven makes all the difference. 5 stars, I recommend trying this incredible place.

The burger was the best i had all year, juicy patty crispy bacon lovely. The owner was very friendly and funny and the overall vibe was great. Highly recommended!!

A warm welcome from the staff, who are excellent at understanding customer needs and could answer every question put to them about the menu and drink selections. Food flavour and quality is by far the best Italian food in Bournemouth or Poole, it is really that good. I would highly recommend this restaurant for a warm ambience and excellent food, cooked and served by staff who are a class above.

Authentic, traditional Italian food, you won't find something similar in Dorset... Everything reminds me of my hometown in Italy , the atmosphere, the music , and the food is...just stunning!!!

Lovely food friendly efficient staff will be back soon

We had a wonderful meal here on Friday night after being recommended it by a friend. They were very accommodating by letting us book last minute and squeezed us in before the rush. The food was delicious and obviously home cooked, I would throughly recommend this place to anyone wanting a meal in the Poole area.

We had a lovely evening meal to celebrate my graduation. Great atmosphere and right on the harbour. Would recommend the cheesy garlic bread pizza for starters, it was amazing!

We are new to the area and have past this lovely Georgian building. Today we had lunch here. Wow what a lovely place. The staff are lovely and we were greeted with a lovely warm and friendly welcome. Mussels and the most delicious chunky chips and ciabatta and he had the lobster ravioli in a prawn sauce with a cheeky side of garlic bread. It was delicious. Just the right size portion of mussels and cooked to perfection-not a closed one in there and no beards or grit! Delicious sauce too. The lobster ravioli was also delicious with huge prawns in the sauce. A glass of wine each too! We will be back

Great tasty food. Brilliant service and a good atmosphere

Excellent meal - Food and service were brilliant. First went to La Lupa in the late 1970's just after it opened. It has been variable at times over the years but the present owners are exceptional providing a warm welcome in clean and comfortable surroundings with excellent food.

The BEST wedding venue in Dorset hands down! We could not have wished for a better day, the organisation, layout, timings, attention and care from everyone was impeccable. Nothing was too much, communication was second to none and it actually turned out more glorious than we thought even though our expectations were already incredibly high. We are over the moon! Don’t give it a second thought

We sat outside on a warm summer's evening and enjoyed a delicious pizza. I had the lamb, pickle and yoghurt pizza, an unusual but delicious creation, my daughter had a margerita pizza. Both were perfect. The service was excellent and the waitress was friendly and welcoming.

Quaint Italian cafe, great italian Patisserie, good selection to choose from. The Tiramisu is to die for. They have a Meatball Pot for £4.00, however it was not a pot but a decent size pasta bowl. Very tasty too. We also had a Caramel iced latte, absolutely delicious. We visited this place twice and will be going back again 😊 and very friendly staff x
