The focacia was absolutely delicious. I had a langoustine risotto which I thought was very tasty. My friend had the carbonara which she said was tasty but not the best. The service was fantastic, very friendly and welcoming. It felt like you were going to an Italians family home. Overall, a delightful dinner and would recommend to anyone visiting Bournemouth.

Warm welcome on a winters evening. There was a nice buzz, aided by music you could hear but still talk over. Food was delicious, cocktail really nice. We had a lovely evening. A better selection of spiced rums on the drinks menu would have pleased my husband.

Had to send my starter back as it wasn’t what was on the menu- scallops were with dry peas instead of a pea purée. Mains- salmon and chicken were really tasty for both of us were lovely. Service was excellent not intrusive, professional and attentive. Been before, will go again. Much better than the IVY!!!!

Great food and numerous options. It was a Boking Day lunch, so a quiet period that did nothing to detract from the good quality of the dishes enjoyed.
