Customer Review Summary
Generous portions and consistently fresh, tasty food anchor most accounts, with dishes like the cannelloni, pizza Diavola, and steak with vegetables and potatoes singled out for praise, alongside desserts such as the chocolate cake and pizzas including the pepperoni and Hawaiian. Several note friendly, accommodating staff who adapted starters, made a special house cocktail, and made a fuss over a birthday, plus a good house white wine and cappuccinos. A few describe pricier drinks, at around five pounds for a small bottle. One reviewer found their mains overly salty with sluggish service on a quiet weekday, and another reports a carbonara so cream heavy a dining companion felt sick partway through, alongside a minor order mix up that staff corrected quickly. Several close by saying they would return, one after a birthday meal, another after a Valentine's Day dinner finished with a Pornstar Martini.

“We had a lovely experience last night for a Birthday Meal. The staff were friendly and attantative. I was being a bit fussy and they were more than accommodating, without making ne feel like a pain! The Lady made me a special house cocktail and adapteded my starter. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was fresh, very tasty and presented well. We would definitely visit again, the next time we are in Bournemouth. Thank you, to all the staff.”

“Love the place I had the steak which came with broccoli, carrots and 5 chunky slices of potatoes. I guess it's original but I like the usual tomato,mushrooms and chips with my steak I didn't ask though so maybe possible to swap next time🤔 i tried my friends carbonara which was one of the worst I've ever had. So much cream it was ridiculous 🙄 he got sick half way through. Portions are really generous all starters were really spot on. And the deserts were out of this world. Note don't get the tiramisu for your kid 😅unless it's bed time chocolate cake was the best I think. Found the pepperoni pizza too spicy but annoyingly delicious so if you can take it go for it and lastlythe hawaiian pizza was enjoyable according to my friend personally I think it should be illegal 😉. Overall great place for a date or staff party. I almost forgot drinks were a "bit" expensive £5 for a small bottle 250ml”
