Authentically Italian - benvenuto!
At Piccola Italia - Little Italy - we make Italian food as authentically Italian as it can be.
Why, even our oven has been especially flown over from Italy to ensure that we make traditional, authentic, DELICIOUS stone-baked pizzas.
And of course, our chef is extremely Italian - he has flair, creativity and that Italian passion for food which you can taste in our great selection of pasta dishes, salads, al forno meals and traditional grilled meat and fish specialities.
We've been open for great Italian food in Bournemouth since 1981 - in fact, we're the longest established Italian restaurant in Bournemouth! You'll find a welcoming and authentically Italian atmosphere when you visit.
We take party bookings and can prepare menus for all occasions and budgets.
Book the restaurant for private parties, weddings, anniversaries, receptions and corporate events.

Try our...... starters
We have a superb range of starters that includes bruschetta and garlic bread - but try it with dolcelatte instead of mozzarella for an added twist of flavour.
Pan fried sardines, fresh local mussels with garlic and white wine or Gamberoni all'aglio - large Pacific prawns with a garlic and lemon drizzle - ALL delicious.
Fancy something cold? We can offer fresh melon with strawberries and yoghurt, or a selection of authentically Italian antipasti - with salami, pepperoni, Parma ham, coppa and cotto.
Take a look at our full menu.
Try our....... pizzas
Beautifully stone-baked, our pizzas are truly delicious, all finished with Italian herbs because they wouldn't be complete without them!
The aptly named Mafia Siciliana packs a punch with bacon, onion, tomato and mozzarella.
Love fish? You'll adore our Veneziana with prawns, tuna, mussels, anchovies, mozzarella and tomato.
Our house pizza is the Piccola Italia - packed to the rafters with bacon, pepperoni, eggs, garlic, tomato and mozzarella. You'd better be hungry!
Buon appetito!
Try our.......pasta dishes
No Italian restaurant would be truly Italian without a great range of freshly made pasta dishes and at La Piccola Italia in Bournemouth, our fiery chef constantly creates and develops new recipes, using fresh ingredients, delicious herbs and a lot of flair.
Of course we serve traditional Italian pastas like lasagne and spaghetti alla carbonara, but you simply must try our Penne Montradini - penne pasta with strips of fillet steak in a cream and beef bouillon sauce or Penne Piccola Italia - pasta with hot mozzarella, cream, mushrooms and tomato sauce.
Mmmmmmm.
And our menu wouldn't be complete without the chef's own risotto - arborio rice with fresh chicken and wild mushrooms in a creamy, white wine and tomato sauce.

Try our...... traditional meat and fish dishes
La Piccola Italia is heaven for meat and fish lovers.
We have a great selection on the menu at any one time - from Veal alla Milanese, pan fried veal scallops coated in breadcrumbs and served with spaghetti, to Tornedo Rossini, an 8oz grilled fillet of prime beef on a toasted crouton, topped with chicken liver pate with a red wine and liver sauce.
For fish, choose from salmon, lemon sole or seabass, cooked in white wine and butter, or simply grilled and served with garlic and spinach.
And of course, we have a great selection of wines, spirits and beers to choose from.
All our wines are Italian and chosen for their taste and value for money.
If you love white wine, the Anselmi from San Vincenzo has won awards!
Red wines include well chosen chiantis and merlots - but for a truly memorable night, pick a bottle of our Barolo.
Take a look at our wine and drinks list.
You won't be disappointed.
