Bella Italia - Portsmouth Gunwharf Quays - (Near Hampshire, london)

Steven McCall Beautiful, interesting cocktails served by super friendly staff. The food was also great and some surprisingly good deals.

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!

Paul Aldridge What a find, a proper old fashioned pub with real beer and unbelievable food coupled with great friendly service, the salmon special with prawn bisque was restaurant quality, will definitely be back.

Pui Man Lo Saro’s Thai Cafe is so good! Everything tastes exactly like authentic Thai food in Thailand. The Thai milk tea is super tasty. Pad Thai and pork leg on rice are my absolute favorites. The staff are always friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be coming back. Hope to see more new desserts in the future, like pandan cake and mango sticky rice!

Ilona Thompson We had an excellent meal here which was a lovely surprise as the pub wasn’t our first choice. Everything was good, hot and filling. We were catching the ferry to Bilbao and had picked another restaurant but it was shut and we found the Dolphin instead. I must say I’m glad we did! Dave the manager was very friendly and helpful, telling us about a quicker route to the ferry terminal. Thanks Dave and next time we’re in Portsmouth we’ll be sure to call in.

Mohamed Elmozayen Very nice place. I recommend
