Italian Family Run Restaurant Since 1983.
Reviewed By Q1737OBpeterh
Used this Italian restaurant for many years when I worked in Eastleigh but have not been back for a while since I retired. I was not disappointed as the meal was excellent. Paolina, the owner, recognised me and greeted me warmly. We started with Carta de Musica and olives, a favourite appetiser in times gone by. My main was baked chicken breast with spinach and mushrooms in a white wine sauce and a side of sauted potatoes. My wife had penne with smoked salmon. Both dishes were excellent and washed down with Pinit Grigio and a delightful Sardinian red wine, Cannanau. A delightful evening.

A cheerful fun place for a bite to eat and have a drink. I had a toasted crab sandwich and a beer with four friends. The service was good as the food. Not the most elegant of places but it is nice and relaxed

Came here with a friend on a Monday evening at 6pm (when it opened) and it was deserted - the chef hadn't even arrived! However the waiter who was setting up still got us seated and brought us drinks and explained the chef would be there soon.Although not everything we ordered was available what did arrive was freshly prepared and fairly tasty. Not the most mind blowing meze I've had but it was a good balanced selection and very generous portions for the price.Only critique was that the food was quite greasy and an overall greasy smell all over the restaurant but I'd definitely come back!

Quaint restaurant offering great food and wine in a relaxed atmosphere. Sun trap garden in summer offering a retreat from the hustle and bustle of the village.

Great location in Hable le Rice and the food was excellent. We've lived in the area for 5 years (LowerSwanwick) and it was great (if embarassing!) to find somewhere new. All the dishes whether meat or fish were spot on. We understand that the place is under new management; they've got off to a very good start.

To celebrate a friends birthday 12 of us visited for brunch, the restaurant helpfully contacted us in advance and suggested that rather than pre-order which is always tricky to co-ordinate that we let them choose the dishes for us. We were greeted at the door by very friendly staff member and served drinks whilst we waited for everyone to arrive. The restaurant has a lovely relaxed feel and we had 2 round tables together which allowed the conversation to flow. The food was really tasty, they choice a very wide range of dishes for us to try from delicious crispy thin pizza to fish and vegetarian options, every new dish was greeted with delight and clean plates which is always a bonus in a big group trying to please everyone. The wine flowed and our glasses were generously refilled before empty with high quality wine. Overall we were all very impressed and felt we had both had a lovely experience and great value for money.

Sunday evening meal, was just not acceptable. Items were "off". I was told that one dessert was off the menu because the chef "had made a batch yesterday and they were all gone!!. Starteers were very poor. This claims to be a top quality restaurant, I think we were short changed on the evening meal. The breakfast was awful. Croissants and Danish were stale, I suspect brought in on Saturday. the scrambled egg obviously prepared in bulk and left to get cold. The bacon was a dull grey and inedible. Every item in the full English was spoilt. Sadly management has not responded to my letter: otherise I would not have gone piblic!

There are a lot of reviews raving about a waitress called Jess. I assume that's the name of the wonderful, funny, lovely person who served us on Friday, and if so she deserves all the praise she gets. Marwell Hotel, please double her salary at once. And then double it again.To the food: We had the tasting menu on Friday - 7 courses expertly presented. On the Saturday I ordered from the bar menu because I'd chomped my way through the restaurant menu the previous night, so I had a perfectly cooked steak with wonderful crunchy chips.If forced to quibble I could agree with some other reviews that there were more small children present than I would like, but that's because I am grumpy. This is a very inviting place and all the better for it.

A friendly, family run restaurant, serving authentic mediterranean food in a relaxed atmosphere.
Reviewed By David H
Travelling back from Southampton we were looking for an evening meal and figured that a small village would be ideal. Having parked up we walked up and down the High St and cafes were closed, and the pub menus didnt entice us in. On first passing, Giorgios was closed, opening at 6pm, so we returned just as the doors were opened. It is just a small shop front, and the door leads straight on to the stairs and down to the restaurant. At first it seemed a bit dark and dismal, but actually the atmosphere was good, especially once more diners arrived.Our waitress was really helpful, bringing us menus and a mini specials board. I ordered Moussaka and a side of fries and my wife had the seabass. Unfortunately this arrived whole and we had to ask for it to be de-headed, which was done without question.The one downside was that the meals took well over forty minutes to be served (and we were the first in the restaurant), but as they were being freshly cooked this was just about acceptable.The restaurant seemed to be quite busy for midweek, and is clearly well liked by the locals.
