Sadly I think they could’ve done with at least 2 more members of staff. We didn’t get our drinks order taken for 30 minutes after we arrived and then didn’t receive our starters for a further 40 minutes (just some bread and olives) and then it wasn’t until a whole 1 hour and 40 minutes after we had arrived that we received our main course. Which was nice in fairness but wasn’t worth spending so long waiting for it. Probably wouldn’t go again, disappointed on Valentine’s Day","rating":{"food":3,"service":1,"ambience":3,"value":2,"noise":"QUIET","overall":2,"__typename":"ReviewRating"},"user":{"numOfApprovedReviews":1,"nickname":"Calum","metro":{"metroId":3182,"displayName":"Dorset","__typename":"Metro"},"initials":"C","isVip":null,"isLoggedInUser":false,"profileColor":"ICECREAM","profilePhoto":{"photoBySize":null,"__typename":"PublicDinerProfilePhoto"},"__typename":"ReviewUser"},"helpfulness":{"up":0,"down":0,"score":0,"__typename":"ReviewHelpfulness"},"publicRestaurantReply":null,"submittedDateTime":"2025-02-15T11:41:51Z","dinedDateTime":"2025-02-14T20:30:00+00:00","type":"OPENTABLEVERIFIED","fromPreviousConcept":false,"highlight":null,"photos":[],"__typename":"ReviewSearchResult"},{"reviewId":"OT-330324-2903-350063099405","text":"Had an amazing time here, service and food were perfect.

The 6 of us celebrated a family birthday here and had a fantastic experience. The staff are all fantastic.
The food is exceptional and is the best Italian we have ever had the specialities are the Tagliatelle Tartufo, and the fresh sea bass which is the best I have ever had and I like my seafood! This was cooked to perfection. In fact, it is very hard to pick a dish that is not outstanding.
Once you have sampled the amazing cuisine here, you will be back time and time again in fact they have just released a new menu.
If you try nowhere else, you must eat here. This is a 6* restaurant!!! Everything is freshly prepared and all the pasta is home-made.

Restaurant had great reviews and was full when we arrived so I had high hopes for a lovely valentines evening meal. Sadly I think they could’ve done with at least 2 more members of staff. We didn’t get our drinks order taken for 30 minutes after we arrived and then didn’t receive our starters for a further 40 minutes (just some bread and olives) and then it wasn’t until a whole 1 hour and 40 minutes after we had arrived that we received our main course. Which was nice in fairness but wasn’t worth spending so long waiting for it. Probably wouldn’t go again, disappointed on Valentine’s Day
