My wife and I have been visiting Filipo's since before we were married and that is plenty of years…read moreago! 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.

This is a very good Italian retaurant, probably the best in Poole, although I prefer Franco's…read more The owner is Italian and as far as I can tell the dishes are authentic. They certainly taste great. The wine list is pretty extensive and good. I do feel it's a bit pricey as the portions are rather small. The parking around here is a nightmare too.

We went here last night after wanting to go for months and we were not disappointed! The lady was…read moresuper friendly and happy and lovely. The pizza is cooked in a wood-fired oven so it tastes amazing. I ordered the Primavera pizza which comes with sun-dried tomatoes, pesto and goat's cheese (photo above). It was absolutely enormous and tasted unbelievable. And so cheap! I think it was £7.85 or £8.75? Either way, an absolute bargain, especially compared to the rubbish you are served at Pizza Hut/Pizza Express/Dominos. The opening times above are incorrect. It's actually closed on a Tuesday and is open on a Monday. This is literally the best kept secret in Bournemouth and I can't wait to go again!

Mario makes some great pizza! Cooked in a huge pizza oven that takes up most of the kitchen, the…read morePizza made here is fantastic. Fresh ingredients and generous toppings. As it is a small family owned and run business, I have phoned to order food on several occasions (for collection only) and found them to be closed, which is always disappointing! Most Pizzas are about £8.50. There are a couple of tables inside, but this is mainly a take away, so I treat it as such.

So many great dishes its hard to choose.It's nearly always full! The wines are great too, and they serve Italian spirits. Very friendly, they'll stand you a drink - well they did me! A small, cosy little place, but a real gem!

Car parking on the road outside or in the car park opposite. Very friendly and welcoming staff and an extensive menu and wine list. The food is absolutly delicious and reasonably priced. It can get very busy so worth reserving a table at weekends. Lovely cosy atmosphere and highly reommended.

During the day this is a great place for coffee. You get pastries with the coffee (no, not loads)…read more Their lunch menu is rather mouthwatering, pastas, salads, pizza, panini. Scrummy. You get hungry just looking at it or smelling it. In the evening, it all becomes a bit disappointing. The flavours are a bit dull, nothing is very inspiring. However, the wine is served in large glasses so everything, in the end seems less of a let down, especially if you're not paying. They used to have a sofa near the kitchen door, but since they took it away, we hardly go there. Loos are clean!

Great authentic food, served by friendly and knowledgable staff. A lovely place for a romantic evening with a fantastic small authentic family restaurant atmosphere. I've been to a number of Italian restaurants as it's my favourite cuisine and my favourite to eat at home, so hopefully I have some idea of whats good.

John really knows how to host a party and run a top class restaurant and is excellent at front of house hospitality. A real family run business. Such a rare Treasure these days with cosporate chains. The prices that sit fairly midway to a little higher if you want a treat refelcts that John knows his suppliers and chooses all with care. We are looking to return on our own very soon for some excellent fish and more of this amazing restaurant . A real Jewel in the Crown tucked away in Christchurch on the edge of Bournmouth.

There are lots of reasons why I like this place and would heartily recommend it to everyone!…read more Firstly, the food is fabulous - it's not cheap by any stretch of the imagination, but the portion sizes are excellent and the quality is second to none. The specials board is especially worth a look, and the lemon sole in particular is absolutely delicious. Secondly, the atmosphere is this restaurant is unlike anywhere else I've ever been. There are two distinct areas of the restaurant - the large room in front of the bar has a lot of tables packed into it, but this just adds to the social feel. The area 'round the corner' has a much more sophisticated and classy feel and you generally have to book a week or so in advance and specifically ask to be seated here.

Our lunchtime meal was a real treat. Farmhouse pizza for me with prosciutto ham on a flat bread base that had been freshly made. With the sauce and mozzarella cheese this was perhaps my favourite pizza since returning to the uk. My girl had a veggie spaghetti dish and cleared her plate, the best sign of a good meal. Her dish was accompanied by a bowl of freshly grated Parmesan and my pizza had a bowl of dried chillies - a nice touch that made the difference! Great stuff. Really nice atmos as the place filled, great decor and nice wooden furniture.
