Prezzo - Wimborne

The restaurant is a lovely building with a real feel of history tonit, really nicely decorated to create a lovely ambiance to dine in. I booked a table here for my sons 2nd birthday meal with my fiancé and I, and my parents. When we arrived the waiters seemed very red faced and stressed which gave us an uneasy feel right from the get-go but we ignored it and sat at our table anyway. We waited an extremely long time to order our food even asking the waiter twice if we could order whrrr we were told ‘no I have to take the order from 2 other tables before yours’ we arrived before one of the other tables do we were very confused. After eventually getting our order in we waited. And waited. And waited. The other tables were getting their food but we weren’t, after about an hour we got our starters - which were very nice. As we were dining with a 2 year old we were keen to get our mains quickly as he was now getting restless which made us start getting stressed and it wS hard work to keep him amused with a jug of water and some crayons!! We got our mains after another 25 minuted which again were very nice but the wait was far too long and it ruined what was meant to be a relaxing evening with family. The 2 waiters that were serving were brash and almost rude and were so rushed off their feet that they were literally running around the restaurant and up the stairs to the kitchen, they even ran into a customers chair whilst holding 2 played of food, which was sloshing everywhere. Therefore the presentation of the food was awful. I must say that at the end of the meal our waiter did slightly redeem himself by bringing out a slice of cake for the birthday boy with a candle in it which was sweet. It’s a shame as I regularly dined in the Blandford branch which has now closed down and don’t feel like returning yo the Wimborne branch again.

Having attended the restaurant we were shown to our table, followed very quickly by waiter taking our order for drinks...Then the problems started we ordered our meals..other people who were dining came in and were served and to our horror that ate there meals paid bill and departed..called the waiter and discovered that our order had not been sent to the kitchen, not very happy.we eventually got our meals with a reduction in the bill

Very sloppy service. Seemed to be very busy due to people dining before a show at the local theatre but that must happen more then once a week and there was simply not enough staff to cope with the number of diners - as we arrived people were leaving having not had food as been waiting over an hour for it. The restaurant cleared a little after we sat down and yet service was still very slow and servers couldn’t answer the most simple of questions about the menu. Food arrived in a decent time after ordering and was okay but nothing special. With the meal deal we got it was worth the money but wouldn’t rush back.

Very good choice of dishes on the menu. Food was hot and delicious. Service was excellent. Very good value for the money. Thoroughly enjoyed and we will return. The building adds to the ambiance of the restaurant. Liked the David Hockney prints.

Everything was fine

Great food and service as always

We arrived on time to find our table wasn’t ready nd we’re just left to wait in the hallway along with several other customers, no one seemed to updating us as to when the table would be ready. The restaurant was very noisy, the music seemed to go go from barely audible to blaring constantly. Service was slow, when our order arrived it was missing two side salads, when they did eventually turn up they looked like they had been thrown together at the last minute. The staff in general were good but the food in my opinion has gone down hill, probably due to the threat of closure hanging over the restaurant, not good for staff morale. I haven’t used the restaurant in a while and dont think I will be hurrying back either.

OK waiter seemed not to be enjoying his work!

Pleasant experience overall but the background music was not ‘age appropriate’ to the clientele. Ambience could have been improved by quieter, less intrusive music

The best feature of Prezzo in Wimborne is the building itself. The food was ok but the service was rather slow considering it wasn’t busy. We won’t be rushing back...
The food was ok but not amazing.
