The best restaurants serving Italian food in Poole Town Poole South West

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

First time in pizzeria valona , pizza was very very nice and the staff very friendly thank you time valona

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

Five stars aren’t enough! Diva is an absolute gem in Poole. If you’re looking for authentic Italian food, this is the place to go. I had the carbonara and it was honestly one of the best I’ve ever tasted — creamy, rich, and full of flavour, just like in Rome. The staff are warm, welcoming, and make you feel like part of the family. The atmosphere is cozy and relaxed, perfect for both date nights and family dinners. Can’t wait to go back and try more from the menu. Highly recommend!

Lovely pleasant staff in this spotlessly clean Italian cafe. The coffees and hot chocolate very good as were the pastries and focaccia bread. They have a good selection of light meals which we didn’t try but other peoples looked very interesting. Would definitely return if in the area.

We have eaten here a few times over the years when visiting relatives in the area. They are now about to move and from previous experience, we chose La Lupa to have one of our last meals in Poole. While the advertised opening hours were quite late, like many restaurants these days La Lupa would appear to have taken most of their covers earlier, and we arrived as most people were finishing their meals. We hadn't booked, but we were warmly welcomed and our lovely waiter cheerfully took our order. Although we only had a main course, we were the last to leave. While we were finishing our food the staff were sitting chatting at a table in the restaurant. In no way did we feel under pressure to pay and go so they could close for the night. My husband and I both chose from the Classic Menu - Risotto con funghi and Risotto con gamberi e zucchine and our meals were cooked to perfection. I often think that with food of this nature the amount in the bowl isn't going to sate my appetite, but this was definitely not the case at La Lupa. Both meals were plentiful and tasty. Thoroughly recommended and probably advisable to book.

Excellent food and service highly recommended.

We hosted our Wedding Reception in the beautiful upstairs space of The Oriel. I cant thank the Oriel team enough for their hard work on the day, especially Maria who worked her socks off preparing the upstairs space with all our decorations and ensuring our day ran smoothly. The food was fabulous and highly complimented by our guests. We highly recommend The Oriel if you’re needing a venue to host a reception or party because they will go above and beyond for you. Thank you guys so much for creating a very special day.

We wondered about looking for somewhere to eat and from the outside, this restaurant looked very inviting. We hadn’t booked, but as it was early, we managed to get a table for two. Authentic pizza, quick service, we were getting full from the 12” pizza, with delicious toppings and struggling to eat it all, but it was too good to waste!!! My mum had the most delicious cappuccino after afterwards for her dessert!! Very well priced meal. Would definitely recommend

Great spot for food, excellent food so fresh and delicious, easy to find and atmosphere is so welcoming. Came her with some friends and I will be coming back.

We really enjoyed our pizza and salad! Our server was so friendly. The music playing created a lovely Italian ambiance, as well as the great art work.

Great Service, great food, great views, Clean, lovely balcony. The only problem is that there is not enough waiting staff, meaning the waiter was run off his feet.
