Carluccios - (Near Hampshire, london)

Cars & Touring One of the best restaurant in Portsmouth. This is one of my home to home place. The kitchen has been renovated recently. The new dishes were undoubtedly successful. I opted for the chefs recommended -the duck. The presentation was a work of art with the dark cooker the to profession juicy inside and crisp outsiide. The mango reduction gave the dish an wonderful exotic twist. The bust of sweetness that complemented the rich flavour of the meat beautifully. The dish was accompaniment by some roasted sweet potato and some seasonal salad. It gave a satisfying balance and fulfillment. Definitely will go back and have more!

Selma Majeed Really good tasty food. This is our go to place in Portsmouth, affordable and good quantity. The lentil soup when you dine in is to die for,. Pro tip: add some sumac (the red coloured powder on the table) on top of the soup and it just elevates the taste.

Andriy Sas Great variety of food with plenty of options for everyone. Everything was fresh and tasty. The staff are friendly and attentive. A nice place to enjoy a meal with family or friends. Thank you for the great experience.”

Evie Cantwell We had such a lovely evening at Bella Italia! The food was great and the atmosphere was really relaxed, but what genuinely made the visit stand out was the service. Sunikan looked after us and he was fantastic! Really friendly, attentive and still calm while looking after multiple tables at once. He mentioned he’s only been there about 8 months, which honestly surprised us because he handled everything like a seasoned pro. I’d asked if it was possible to move to a quieter table and he sorted it straight away, very discreetly and without any fuss or drawing attention to it, which we really appreciated. He checked in at the right times, made sure everything was sorted quickly and just had a really welcoming manner that made the whole experience better. Also a big thank you to the kitchen as they clearly work just as hard and the food was genuinely 10/10. He’s a credit to the restaurant and we’ll definitely be coming back!

William Blunt Possibly the most authentic Japanese food I’ve had in the UK. The food is delicious and fabulously well presented and the setting of the restaurant is excellent; very small, but feels just right for the experience. It’s not somewhere you go for a quick bite, it’s more of the centrepiece of the evening. Absolute love it, I’ve been here twice and would recommend to anybody.

Yee Gan Ong Dim sum is probably best explained as Chinese tapas - an assortment of dumplings, croquettes etc. Traditionally only served at breakfast and lunchtime I live in the wilds of Hampshire. Dim sum hut is the closest restaurant to me serving freshly made dim sum. Luckily for me, they serve good quality dim sum with a good variety of dishes They also do a traditional menu but I’m usually here for dim sum lunch. The staff do a good job, especially when it gets really busy
