On a trip away with work in Dorchester I stumbled across this little hole-in-the-wall. You go in…read moreand it looks tiny, largely, because it is tiny. I was taken downstairs - where the main seating area and instantly liked the atmosphere. It is a well decorated and lit cavern - as the name suggest. But unlike the name suggests it is very small. Not small cramped, but small cosy. One thing I especially liked about this was that they stock delicious local ale - I had a lovely ale called 'piddle' to which the waitress joked 'piddle in a bottle'. This amused her more than it did me in fairness. The food was delicious, I had a crab and salmon pasta that was really delicious. They also brought free bread with oils, olives and (oddly) radish. I like free stuff so this got them points with me. If I could complain about one thing it's that the service was not quite perfect. They clearly had a new girl starting and it was strange to hear her being told off for cutting me too much bread - "he's just by himself you'll ruin his appetite with that much bread" I heard across the small restaurant. This was more funny than it was rude, but perhaps I was slightly annoyed at the motherly implication that I can't manage my own appetite ,which I have been doing successfully for almost 2 decades now! Best part of all this, my beer and delicious main course cost only £15. I'd recommend this place highly. I went on a Thursday night and loved the atmosphere, so I imagine on a Friday or Saturday night it would be excellent.

And if you're lucky you might get to see a flash of the hot blooded chef's anger, always makes for good entertainment. Still doing well against all the mainstream competition it now has to fight customers over. Great value for money, yes it's a little more than your bog standard Italian... but this is far from standard food! You will need to book on weekends and you should know that this place is all downstairs in a cavern, so you need to be OK with enclosed areas. It's snug and private, great for couples, or book out the whole cavern and have a big party! The owners will no doubt party with you till the wee hours!

Was really amusing and made the evening fun. We still chuckle about it now as by the time we left we knew all the words (even though there's not many!) Main thing was it was a friendly welcome, nice atmosphere and lovely food. Thoroughly enjoyed it and will definately go back again when next down that way. Beer is a beautiful village and still retains it's character and charm. Highly recommend.

This was a one off visit for us but it made our one night, two day stop over in Beer very worthwhile. An Italian restaurant with a Thai? influence in the cooking - amazing! If we could sum up the excellent evening meal that we had here it would be this - The best Garlic Bread in the world! If you are a pizza lover you will find it almost impossible to better Gina's quality and presentation. And if you are not, the menu offers a wide choice of mouth watering selections all freshly cooked to order - something special for every taste and all of it good value for money.

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.
