  “Fantastic. Eight of us dined at this wonderful venue on Saturday 9th October 2026. What a great night we all had. Authentic food, wonderfully presented by young friendly staff who went out of their way to ensure we had a fantastic night. When they found out that two of of group were celebrating their birthdays they even produced an Italian cake and candles, made the night extra special. Wonderful to dine at this restaurant that is so well run and owned by young friendly staff who enjoy what they do. So busy that’s its best to book. Thanks to all who made our night extra special. Well done.”

  “Our party of 8 booked Etna restaurant for the 10th October. Good job we had booked, as the restaurant was very busy when we arrived with a great atmosphere and fun vibe. The fantastic front of house team sat us down quickly, gave us menus and took our drinks order. A good choice of drinks and wine were avaliable and all very reasonably priced. The menu has a really good choice of starters and main course to suit all tastes and again the prices are very competitive. We all had starters and they arrived together, hot where they needed to be and fresh and vibrant to look at. The portion size was very generous as well. We all chose different pasta dishes, a beef stroganoff and a pizza. Again the potions sizes were very generous and everything was absolutely delicious. The chef certainly knows how to cook. The front of house team were amazing, really attentive but not obtrusive and made sure we had everything we needed. The whole evening was an absolute joy from start to finish. We were so glad we found this little gem of a family run restaurant. Make sure you book if you are a large party. The restaurant was so popular and never empty. We would 100% recommed Etna restaurant and cant wait to return next time we are in Bournemouth. Dont miss out, pay this place a visit. You wont be dissapointed. Its fantastic. A huge thank you for making our evening so enjoyable.”

  “A charming little Italian spot with fantastic service! The staff took wonderful care of us and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was delicious, and the portions are huge—the starters are easily big enough for two people to share. Highly recommended!”

  “Often drove past this gem and wanted to try it out. My partner and I agreed it was up there with one of the best pizzas we’ve ever had! Loved the fact it’s family run authentic Italian. Staff were friendly and it accommodated family’s and couples, small and intimate (well done to chef!)”

  “We love this restaurant and have been dining here for a few years. Never had a bad meal. Maya the manager is amazing. So welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. She is so lovely and makes you feel special as she does every diner. The food is delicious and the choices are plenty. The portion size is big so you certainly get your moneys worth. Keep doing what you doing as you are the best restaurant in the area.”

  “One of the best Italian restaurants I’ve been to. Service was fabulous and the food, my goodness, next level. Better than restaurant I’ve been to in Italy! We were a group of 4 and ordered 2 starters to share and 3 mains also to share, plenty of food. Also very reasonable. If I’m in Bournemouth again will defo be going back.”

  “Rather good food in this tucked away restaurant - in an area which used to be much more popular. The staff were very friendly and the food was tasty and hot. Pizzas were large, fresh and really fabulous. Portion sizes generous. We were surprised at how quiet it was on mother's day, we got a couple of free desserts to celebrate, which impressed us. Attention to detail on cleanliness required, on the floor and there were 3 little flies buzzing around. Overall good.”
