    Though they were busy, they accommodated us, we were in for a quick dinner before a show at the Old Fire Station. Pizza and risotto were delicious.

    Lovely little local Italian restaurant - as it states on the board outside oldest in Bournemouth apparently! And boy does it show, we only had pizzas but they were outstanding. Super authentic and the tomato sauce base was really good. I had the seafood pizza and the seafood tasted really fresh. There wasn’t any beer on tap so only bottles which isn’t too much of a problem. Really friendly staff. Went at 6pm and it was quite quiet but I preferred it like this!

    I really wanted to love this place as a local authentic Italian, but left bitterly disappointed. The waitress was a uni student and really didn't have the confidence to look after us, and clearly didn't know the menu. The table next to us were about to leave and talking openly about their bad meal, which is never an encouraging start to yours. We had calamari, pizza, chicken Milanese with a Ragu spaghetti it comes with. Neither calamari nor the Milanese were cooked fresh. Both so clearly bought in frozen and terrible to eat. Milanese coating came off easily and wet meat inside. The Ragu was greasy and not a traditional Ragu. The pizza was ok, but for £70 for 1 starter and 2 mains+ £20 wine was not good at all. I was pretty gutted as it's been there ages and looks like a traditional nice place to go from outside. Nope. Guys, please start cooking your own food fresh. You can tell the love isn't there, which is such a shame. It could be great.
