Nice food and friendly staff, but would have liked more veg with my meat dish.

Great food, friendly owner/chef. Waiting staff forgot to serve the wine ordered- had to be reminded but otherwise a good experience

A very welcoming restaurant. Excellent food and very attentive friendly service.

Just lovely, friendly chef/staff, good service, thank you very much

An anniversary meal, wonderful food, in fact the best Italian in the area I would have to say, the bottled beer a little pricey but overall absolutely lovely

Excellent food in a warm and friendly atmosphere. Very attentive sevice. This was our second visit to this restaurant and it will not be our last.

My turbot and sea bass with asparagus risotto was beautiful and my husband enjoyed his steak. Service was good. Wouldn’t eat here all the time as more expensive than we would usually pay but great for a special occasion.

Lovely evening! Food was great wine was great and service was great! Could not fault the whole evening. Very authentically Italian and atmosphere was great. It doesn’t matter how many people are in there, it’s always a great atmosphere. Will definitely be going again and work my way through the menu

Booked my Hen do here and we had an amazing time. Staff were helpful and attentive - Victor in particular! Food was great - loved the calamari!

Absolutely fantastic food, really delicious carbonara , the gentleman who was serving us was great and very friendly. It is a lovely restaurant and we will definitely go back

Great food great service good value for. Money and excellent choices for food and drink, overall enjoyed the night and the food, keep. It up

Amazing food and very attentive service. I would definitely recommend this lovely restaurant in Poole. Very good value for money too. It really is worth a visit!

Good range of food featured in the menu. Good quality and generous portion sizes as well as excellent service. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Excellent food and service. Very efficient and most welcoming. The courses, we had three, came and were cleared accordingly with perfect timing. We were not rushed but neither did we have to wait. A lovely evening.

The food was very disappointing. The 2 pizzas were undercooked and the pasta dish looked very ordinary. The staff were good but let down by the important food.

Had a really good fri eve here , the head man / manager / is a credit to this place , he was very full on , but in a very friendly way , he made or eve all the more enjoyable , the food was very tasty , nice wine & not silly prices, we will return soon.

Gorgeous little Italian, delicious food, super fresh. Service was fab, lighthearted and attentive. Go hungry - the portions are giant and you’ll want to try it all!

Been there a few times before and had excellent food. Has it changed hands? Service very good and quick but food was disappointing. Poor value for money

Very enjoyable Italian experience. Excellent good, fresh food, with thoughtful presentation. Waiter/host very informative & added a smile to the evening. Pleasant surroundings. Would recommend for authentic experience.

I booked a party of 22 people. Victor and his team went out of their way to make sure we had a very enjoyable evening. All the plates were empty, so the food was great and so was the service! Would definitely eat there again. Thank you !

There’s always a lovely buzz here - not loud, but happy noise.

Food was adequate but nothing special,prices quite high for what you received,not a great atmosphere but the place was quiet,staff was very pleasant.Would i go back ? Not sure.

Enjoyed the atmosphere and service was good. The Linguine Crazy Alfredo was supposed to be hot and contain chillis but was not hot at all. A bit disappointing for two of our party who like spicy food. Would go back again and see if it was just a blip.

Went fairly early so not too busy, Very tasty freshly cooked food and good friendly service! Happy to go there again for a special occasion!

Food lacked seasoning and presentation of sauses was not good, wine by the glass was very expensive. Staff were very good although waitress was obviously new. Overall not as good as when it first opened when we visited three weekends in a row.

Excellent service and great food. Lovely !!!!! Would go again, restaurant allowed me to decorate as was a special birthday. Wonderful choice of food, very tasty.

The meal was quite nice ,but we have had better food in the past when first opened.The wine was good & service excellent,value for money definitely go back.

Always great food, service and atmosphere. We have eaten here a few times now and will go back. A little Italian gem. Best to book at weekends.

Food lacked taste, 2nd time I’ve dined here and sadly the last as it’s in a great location and looks good inside, staff are friendly but that’s not enough.

Always great food, always a fun atmosphere and nothing ever too much trouble for the staff. Best restaurant in Ashley Cross by far. Would certainly recommend a visit.

Fantastic food (really delicious, well-cooked and nicely presented) and great service. As we went on a Monday evening it was very quiet so can't really comment on the atmosphere, but it was very enjoyable.

Nice atmosphere, great service and gorgeous food. First time diner, but will definitely return.

The food was superb and didn't think they were overpriced at all. The service expectations were good and they were very patient with our group as we were not ready to order after a couple of visits to our table by the waitress. Would definitely visit again.

We always like to try new restaurants as that is the time when the food is normally at its best. We were certainly not disappointed with this new Italian. The food was excellent and for tasted very authentic. The staff were very welcoming and the service was excellent.

First time visiting the restaurant and it was lovely. Delicious food with great service. The atmosphere was nice and relaxed. We will be back for sure.

The food is awesome. The staff are really friendly and welcoming. Brilliant addition to Ashley Cross. Would recommend the restaurant to anyone wanting a great evening.
