Bar + Block Steakhouse Portsmouth - (Near Hampshire, london)

Paul Dunstan Service was great, food excellent and even accommodated some changes to the menu. Probably one of the best cafes in Portsmouth for home cooked food at affordable prices.

Mohamed Elmozayen Very nice place. I recommend

James Leach Great spot right by the sea. Shows sports. Good drinks selection. Good value for food. Great staff

Alexander Fergusson-Cooper If I could give this place one star I would... They have ruined pizza for me, it was by far the best Ive had, no other will compare. My partner and I shared the nduja/scotch bonnet and the chicken/paneer. Both were truly superb. The dough had a terrific flavour, but the toppings on each were perfectly balanced and flavoursome. We started with the cauliflower hummus - something we await to recreate! The service was outstanding, knowledgeable and friendly, without being over the top, again, a perfect balance. Wine list fantastic and comprehensive (the reason we came here - (fathers a wine merchant!) maître d was knowledgeable and showed us the bottle of wine we were curious about. Atmosphere was warm, welcoming, relaxed, and the use of acoustic tiles on the ceiling work as both an interesting feature and more importantly to reduce the sound in the bar/restaurant. I am hugely disappointed we are only in Portsmouth for an evening - had we live in the vicinity, we would surely adopt The A Bar as a regular venue. A venue for everyone, we were made to feel like long standing customers - warm and welcoming. If ever in Portsmouth again, we will rush back!

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!

Marnie Campbell Had a lovely breakfast. The food was tasty and service fast and friendly. Coffee was really good. A great little spot!
