Albero in New Forest

Super local Italian, great staff and wonderful food

Great experience with excellent Italian food.

Amazing place. Absolute gem in the new forest. Wonderful atmosphere ! The interior is clean, light and earthy. The food is genuine Italian food and tastes truly excellent. They have the loveliest pizza oven and make the loveliest dough. Could not recommend this place any more.

Visited without booking ahead, we were lucky to get a table. Excellent service and great food. A truly lovely atmosphere with staff who knows what great service is. Didn't get the name of our Slovakian waitress, but she was delightful, an asset to any restaurant.

The best fresh pasta in the forest! Amazing meal and super friendly staff. Will be coming back here again.

Wow! What can I say! Awesome meal, fantastic service with a lovely waitress who’s name I didn’t catch but she knows who she is. Authentic Italian pizza that was delicious and a chat with the chef after about Rome! Will definitely be coming back again. Thank you all for a lovely evening ☺️

Great service. Very tasty food. Not a 'budget' eaterie - lunch main course and desserts for two adults and a child with one round of drinks was £63, but this cost reflects both the quality of food, service, ambience, and location. Would definitely dine there again.

Nice atmosphere inside and friendly staff. The olives are the best we have ever had in a restaurant and nice they were actually served at room temperature! Unfortunately there was an issue with my main, I won't go into details. Initially our waitress was not sure how to deal with it but after another waitress and the chef came over it was dealt with in a good manner. These things happen sometimes and although it took the shine off our meal, I would definitely like to go back. Despite the issue the food itself was very tasty.

Had the delicious and nice pizza and salad, nice atmosphere and acceptable prices. Highly recommended.

Great find. From the website the food looked great so when we drive past one night we figured we'd give it a try.Lovely setting, indoor and outdoor tables, small car park out the back for customers but it's opposite the train station too so plenty of other parking.Food was incredible, really fresh authentic Italian from a team from previous Michelin restaurants in Italy.Very friendly accommodating staff, and a great view of the food prep area (for Pizza etc) from the restaurant.It was just my wife and I this time but we'd booked another table for later in the week for the whole family as we were so impressed. Looking forward to taking the kids.Update: Went back here later the week after our first visit, this time with kids too. 5 star rating stands firm. Food was brilliant again, service good, kids happy. Felt very welcome and recognised by the staff when we entered which was a nice touch.
