Italian Diva

I highly recommend Italian Diva to anyone who enjoys authentic Italian food. The chef and owner Marcello cares about what he serves so you are guaranteed quality. The pasta is perfectly cooked, seasoned to taste before serving and served by friendly staff. Poole has lots of restaurants, but this one has to be my favourite due to not only the food but atmosphere

A cozy restaurant with friendly and welcoming staff. We ordered Scallops, Abbacchio Alla Romana( lamb) and Sirloin steak. Everything was delicious except the beef steak was too tough. We will definitely go back there.

Visited recently and it was great to see Marcelos back after his operation. As always the food was outstanding and we were looked after by Michelle his new front of house. She was very attentive and could not have done more to make us feel very welcome.

I went there yesterday with my boyfriend for a dinner. First impression- beautiful elegant decor. Darker light in the evening with plenty of small lights over the windows create very cosy and romantic atmosphere perfect for your date night. Lady who served us was very nice and service was fantastic. Food is outstanding. Considering I love Italian kitchen, this place has become my favourite one now. I got prawns for a starter and my boyfriend got goats cheese. Both super delicious and full of flavour. Our mains were also cooked to perfection. I really enjoyed my sea bass! Food was served very quickly and portions were quite big. Well worth the money. I was absolutely impressed! They do really have a 1st class chef! Food is absolutely amazing. I really like the fact that they do not serve pizza. It may be frustrating for some but as stated on the website it is not a pizzeria but real Italian kitchen. I had fantastic evening there yesterday and will be definitely coming back for more.

Excellent. So glad we gave this restaurant a go. We only went off of the reviews we had read. Well our meal was excellent start to finish! We had the cheaper Italian Merlot, which was very tasty, would order again for sure. We had bread with dip, very nice! Prawns to start were excellent. Then we had Wild Bore Ravioli, Chicken with white wine and cream and the Sea Bass. All excellent and served piping hot. Service fantastic too. Good front of house. I’ll be headed back, 100%! I suggest you support the local businesses and go to this Italian for your dinner!
