Vesuvio in Bournemouth

Super friendly staff, very welcoming and attentive and tasty food. Dog friendly too. Blustery day so invited inside and they brought a dog bowl of water over to our 4 dogs. Will certainly be coming back when next down this way.

We came in as a family yesterday as we visited the beach so we popped in for some food. Beautiful scenery, staff very welcoming, sat down and ordered spaghetti bolonegse and was outraged.The spaghetti pasta tasted very cheap, barely any mince meat and no sauce, however something that tasted like chopped tomatoes canned water just sitting at the bottom of this enormous dish.As you can see picture 2, I didn't eat it at all.Manager took it off the bill and apologies when I expressed that it wasn't nice which I appreciated as I wanted to ask for this but he offered it first.Son had dish fingers and chips £6 to which after we ordered got handed a kid menu to "colour in" that stated they serve a 3 course kids meal for £ 7.95 (starters, mains, dessert). I was annoyed that we didn't get this menu when we arrived but I didn't mention it as after singhseeing all day I was tired.Overall apart from staff welcoming us and managers taking off my horrible meal I have nothing good to say. Took a while to get a waiters attention for the bill.Apart from that it's a lovely scenery. If you had perfected that spaghetti Bolognese and offered us kids meal menu, this would have been a very positive review.

Good position. Waiter friendly but didn't know much about what they stocked. Asked for sparkling water was given ltr bottle. Asked for smaller bottle. Told that was all they had. Ordered lasagna which was luke warm and not helped by being put in a cold plate. Ordered mixed salad(was mainly lettuce) , £5 on menu, changed £7.50 on bill. Not proper Parmaesan cheese, is the stuff out of drum. Offered salad dressing, given balsamic vinegar. This restaurant could easily be much better, it is very frustrating!

Popped in after a chilly damp walk along the promenade. Very friendly staff and cosy inside. The food was really good! We had a pizza each (mine, the torino pictured). The kids pizza was a really good size and my son devoured it saying it was the best pizza ever.Definitely recommend this place.

Highly recommendedFabulous staffExcellent food and drinksGreat atmosphere and wonderful locationThanks for a fabulous afternoonCheers Joe and Jenny 🥂🍾🥂

Lovely setting..pleasant staff and lovely food. Only reason I've not give it 5 was the floor around the tables was really grubby with sand and dropped food. There was plenty of opportunity during our stay to have cleaned this up and lots of staff available.

The food is good but you have to wait a long time for it to be served. The same thing happens with drinks. I ate twice on 2 different weekends and the service was the same.

Great location and lovely staff. The food was ok, I ordered the scampi and it wasn't the best I had. Probably the rest od the Menu, italian would have been better choice.

Oh my word!! What An epic meal people!! First one in a loooong time, and totally worth it! Well amazing views walking to the little cafe/restaurant, beautiful scenery and people were actually out doing things! I mean who could imagine that!? 🤣😎... This is definitely a place to come for a nibble! Very speedy service, small menu but only because its outdoor seating, but a great selection of bites and drinks!! Just scan the barcode on the door, ask for a table and boom! Disabled friendly, easy access, kids friendly, very spacious so no worries about that! Will be coming back again soon! 5* ☀️☀️💯

I really don’t know where to start with this awesome place so not only you can sit outside basically on the beach over looking the sea, but the staff in there are absolutely incredible! We had one man who was the waiter and he was absolutely great especially with the little ones! The little one chose jelly and decided he didn’t like it, the Waiter over heard and let him swap it for free with chocolate ice cream - I thought that was a lovely gesture and we gave him a good tip there needs to be more people like that in this world! I can’t remember his name which is super sad but keep up the great work!The pizza in there are completely insane and the order came very quickly! The ice cream selection is like you have never seen anything before and don’t even get me started on the brownie oh my god 😍😍😍
