"There are lots of places near us that serve pizza but they don't serve it up as tasty as this. The service is simply first.class from the whole team. Frascati Pizzeria has only been around for a few months and it was on the list of places to visit that my wife has so we decided as we were walking past to pop in. I've given Frascati Pizzeria 5 stars because I really did love it. The staff (owners) are very polite and attentive which is sincere and genuine. The restaurant itself has a very rustic feel to it. Although small (only about 8 tables if I remember) you aren't crammed in and have an intimate feeling. The owners are planning to expand the restaurant to fit more in and I doubt that they will find it difficult to get bums on seats. The menu is small. I like that as there is nothing worse than looking at a menu with too much to choose from. What they do offer though is a good choice of pizza, pasta and chicken with desert and sides plus a selection of beverages to accompany your meal. Just as you enter the restaurant you'll see where your pizza is cooked fresh and on-site. I love pizza that is cooked this way and that will go some way to how they taste so good. There is also seating area where you can sit whilst waiting for a your table and have a drink. I'd also like to say thank you for the free desert they offered my wife to mark her birthday. A very generous offer that was gratefully received. We've been back and had 4 pick ups from them now and each time the Pizza has tasted simply beautiful. We are aiming to get back to sit in very very soon."

"We enjoyed our evening meal at Brasserie Blanc Bournemouth yesterday evening. The service was professional amd not intrusive. After ordering, we noticed a specials board being shown to another table by another waiter. Our waiter did not show us the evening specials. My children thoughly enjoyed their steaks. Cooked how they like them, rare and medium. Also commenting on how the dish was presented. My mother enjoyed the trout, but said it did taste a little dry. I had the bouillabaisse. Upon first impressions it looked and smelt really good. And indeed i thoughly enjoyed the dish. But unfortunately the langoustine and king prawn only contained the heads, with no edible parts for me to enjoy. The bouillabaisse was a good size portion, containing all other fish and vegetables stated on the menu. My initial thought at the time was slight disappointment. Rationalising, that more than likely, the bouillabaisse would be ladled from a large pot to my dish and therefore having a langoustine or king prawn in its entirety may not always be plausible. So I did not make my disappointment known to the waiter at the time. But when leaving and noticing a photo showing the bouillabaisse on a promotional 'A ' board by the entrance.. it showed both with the edible parts present. I later looked at user review photos online. It too showed both langoustine and king prawn how it was pictured on the promotional board. So upon reflection, my initial disappointment seem to be justified. I should of made my thoughts clear at the time, rather than giving the benefit of doubt. I do hope this doesn 't happen to others when ordering this lovely dish. The crumble and chocolate mousse was enjoyed by all and my cheeseboard was fantastic."

"So I have been trying not to write a review due to my somewhat bias opinion of this establishment.However what I have learnt in my last two trips is,PRAWNS massive, huge, humongous, prawns almost bigger than the restaurant it’s self. These giants of the sea are almost a meal in themselves you have to try these for yourself.Give me a B Give me a UGive me a NGive me a SWhat have you got BUNS The best BUNS you have ever tasted ever in the world.I’m pretty sure the dynamic husband wife combo have an underground kitchen one filled with umpa lumpas , house elves , mystical cooking unicorns or some type of supernatural beings. As from there modest kitchen they can cook any type of food from anywhere in the world with so much passion, style, flavour whilst making it look like a supermodel has fallen onto your plate and your permitted to eat said supermodel. I say this as surly some English lady and German man can’t manage to cook cuisine from all over the globe with such confidence and complete the dishes in my opinion better than the country of origin.I say they must have help because there is only three of them Jan, Stacey and Gigi This trio constantly glide the food and drink to your table with elegance and ease nothing is forgotten nothing is mistaken and as for Gigi he has this ingrown crystal ball that means he knows your drink, how you drink it and when you want it. Quite often he will try move you from your comfort zone and pair one of theses culinary master pieces with a drink from far and wide.This ladies and gents is the reason I don’t write reviews for roots anymore as it looks like I have been paid off. I can assure you I haven’t and all that happens is I enjoy every visit I make. Do not hesitate find out for yourself."
