The best restaurants serving Italian food in Wareham Purbeck South West

Came here for a nice meal with friends. The friends were great... meal, not so much. We ordered the antipasti (£8.50) and requested that it was vegetarian plus the anchovies, expecting a range of tasty pickled vegetables for the vegetarian bit. We couldn't quite believe what was brought to the table. Yes a small bowl of anchovies, 6 slices of bread, a dish of butter... and 6 very ordinary pitted olives. When nothing else came, we queried it and was told 'no, that's it'. A complete joke, but at least the restaurant had the decency to reduce it to £5 when then bill came. The main courses were, at best, very ordinary. The pizza was doughy and chewy (ive had better from Dominoes), the pasta dish was achingly dull, and the salad (when the correct one was served at the second attempt) was thrown together with very average ingredients. I can only assume that the chef responsible for all the 5-star reviews was on a break, and replaced by someone who has never been to Italy. I eally don't like writing poor reviews, but then I also don't like going for a rare meal out with friends (normally super positive), and us all feeling let down. The waitress was lovely and did her best in a tricky situation... but the signs were there early that things weren't right, so the manager or chef should have come to the table.

We had the best service me and my sister after a long day at work. We had the best pizzas. Steve, Mat and James were so lovely, welcoming and professional. Missed the Monday offers however, it was worth paying the full prices. Always looking forward to office day and the pizza treat.

Ordered takeaway for delivery and wow was it good! Delicious pizza and pasta dishes, plus the doughballs were amazing. Great portion sizes and quick delivery. 100% recommend!
