    The focacia was absolutely delicious. I had a langoustine risotto which I thought was very tasty. My friend had the carbonara which she said was tasty but not the best. The service was fantastic, very friendly and welcoming. It felt like you were going to an Italians family home. Overall, a delightful dinner and would recommend to anyone visiting Bournemouth.
