Those that were still serving I am not overly enthused by them (I'm looking at you Cosy Cafe aka Poppins). The setting is cosy at the restaurant. The restaurant is rather small, but it still feels a little intimate when sitting in there with a dining companion. The menu isn't huge, which is good from my perspective - means they can take the time to make sure food they do produce is done well. The breakfast was a standard Full English. But the eggs were of a better quality than found in other cafes/restaurants in Eastleigh. Mushrooms cooked well, so was the bacon. Sausages were not the greatest - but then I have never been a fan of English sausages. A nice italian one would have been lovely, but c'est la vie. I would recommend the place for anyone looking for good quality cooking, very warm hospitality, and a cosy atmosphere. Could have been 5 stars, but that was down to the fact that getting the toilet on some rather steep & rickety stairs terrified me.

My son goes to university in Southampton and every time I visit we go to Piccolo Mondo, as it is his favorite pizza anywhere. I've never had a bad meal but today reminded me how great it is. I started with the burrata special, which was incredible. Not only fresh and hearty portion of burrata, but a ton of prosciutto and great spices, so the cheese did not get overwhelming. I wasn't that hungry so I ordered the prawns as a main, I was in awe at how many very large prawns I got. The butter/oil garlic sauce was also great, and even the salad that accompanied it was special. I've never been disappointed in the service, and this visit was again both friendly and efficient. I heartily recommend.

In reviewing the previous comments, there is really nothing more I can add except it met expectations. A very cozy small place I'd call a hidden gem. Probably should book ahead just in case.

There's loads to choose from on the anti-pasti (starters) menu and last time I ate there I had the Insalata Caprese which was actually quite filling. For main, I highly recommend the Pappardelle Cinghiale which is pasta with a wild boar meat sauce. You can't find that in many places around here and its one of my favourites. Try it with their house red wine and you won't be disappointed!

What better place to be.Lovely castle, lovely town therefore lovely Pappardelle's! I am an Espresso addict, and it has to be a double, whereas my wife likes the Lemon and Ginger tea here. Whatever your preference this place has it all.. Recommend the Pesccatore sandwiches(salmon, spring onions and creme freche), you should be warned that these can lead to severe addiction as they are mmmmmmmmmmmm! Follow these by a Pain Raisin/Choc and you will have difficulty not having another one. If you do, you will have even greater problems getting back up to the cricket ground!!

We love this place, the boss is just the same as he was when we first went there, nothing changes, the decor does, a little!, the menu is pretty much the same and the music, which tends to be loud!!! It is the place food damn good Italian food, cooked the old way, so Filipo tells me. It is nice to go to a restaurant where you kinda know what you are going to get and know that it will be good and the boss is going to welcome you in whther he knows you or not. Let them know there is a reason, birthday, anniversary etc, in fact we have seen just about every concievable reason for going out celebrated over the years, and following Filipo getting eveyones attention with the aid of a cow bell, the victim or should I say lucky person will have the entire place sing happy birthday, or whatever suits the occasion, which will then be followed up by a free Flamin' Zambucca. I have suffered/enjoyed this many times and look to have a few more! If you are after a quiet night look elsewhere but if it is a fun night with good food and drinkable house wine, Filipos is the place to go.
