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.

Had a lovely family roast, plenty of food, and lovely staff. Had a great time, highly recommend to anybody who wants great food

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.

Excellent food and very good service (despite being the lone member server = wasn’t supposed to be!). Small restaurant, would highly recommend

Went again last night, I had spag bol, I can still taste it, manificent, Ian had fillet steak witj green pepper sauce, Vince had veal, served with potatoes and fresh veg, amazing home made tiramisu, and 2 bottles of Pino Grigio, all in all a great meal, reasonably priced, and really friendly, helpful service, good to see such a special place still going strong, thanks

Simple fresh tasty Italian food. Very late lunch early dinner and it was just right. Will be going back.

I can only give many compliments to Cosimo and his staff. The cuisine is great and the service excellent. Entering Lupa is like coming home.

Came in for lunch on Saturday 9th November. Really friendly greeting and overall the service was superb by the two ladies. We had a Lasagna and Arabiatta Penne. Both were massive portions and were amazing home cooked dishes. So good. Not been here before, will be back for sure. The whole experience was faultless.

Thank you so much for a wonderful lunch with my friends celebrating my birthday. Service was fantastic, atmosphere lovely, food fantastic. Great to have so much choice for the vegetarian/vegans too. I can't believe I haven't visited you before! We will be back.

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
