Italian Diva

The only place where you will find truly authentic italian food. Marcello, the chef and owner, creates dishes that don’t just taste incredible , they’re made with the same love and tradition as nonna’s kitchen. Every time you eat here it feels like being back in Italy, with the family. Beautifully decorated, staff always superb, and the food more than excellent. Will always reccomend to all! Grazie!

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.

Nice small intimate place in a good location. When arriving we were told that it was going to be the best Italian food we had tasted. Unfortunately that wasn’t the case, it wasn’t unpleasant but it was very ordinary. Nothing tasted special or nice, it was just chicken and vegetables on a plate with a bland sauce. Once we had paid the bill, the waiter pretty much ignored us, not even replying when we thanked him and left. Disappointing as it looked promising.

Five stars aren’t enough! Diva is an absolute gem in Poole. If you’re looking for authentic Italian food, this is the place to go. I had the carbonara and it was honestly one of the best I’ve ever tasted — creamy, rich, and full of flavour, just like in Rome. The staff are warm, welcoming, and make you feel like part of the family. The atmosphere is cozy and relaxed, perfect for both date nights and family dinners. Can’t wait to go back and try more from the menu. Highly recommend!

Authentic, traditional Italian food, you won't find something similar in Dorset... Everything remind me of my hometown in Italy , the atmosphere, the music , and the food is...just stunning!!!
