"Lovely place by the water. We were worried that it would be full when we couldn't reserve a table for 1.30 or 1.45 on a sunny Saturday but on arrival there was more than ample space, so don't be put off and if driving a long way maybe just give them a call. Chicken katsu burger was just ok, but the green curry with chicken was lovely (and massive), and kids fajitas came with 3 tortillas and more than enough fillings for a grown adult so could potentially feed 2 kids. Service was decent, and views were lovely but think they just need to invest a tiny bit more into the decor (and cleaning of the disabled bathroom) to make this place as five star as the views. Full of potential, just requires a few tweaks well done to the team on the efforts to date! We will probably be back in future visits to the area."

We visited last night for my wife’s birthday. The two waitresses on shift were attentive, good humoured and polite. Cracking service. Please thank them. Food was great and we will return.

Friendly and super service. Good food, but I am looking forward to trying more of the menu next time I visit. The sourdough bread starter deserves special mention! Absolutely delicious, and fantastically presented.

Always able to accommodate us turning up and asking for a table, perks of living local. We had the roast Lamb today sat in the sunshine, with all the trimmings and it put my homemade one to the test. It was delicious. Thanks for having us! x View menu

Really great spot for a nice dinner. You do have to pay a little extra for food here but the setting is lovely. Public car park next door which is free for three hours. I for the JD wings and ribs combo which was delicious, even if it was very messy.

Third visit recently and always been pleased, celebrated daughters graduation with family, ate with partner and also ate just one evening with my son. The lovely Holly served us on 2 of 3 occasions and service was excellent. Food was very tasty and all enjoyed it. Location and view was amazing.

First visit for us, the team are amazing. Atmosphere is relaxing and welcoming. Food is worth every penny with high quality product and cooked perfectly. The owner made a point of getting to know his customers and giving the 5* service we want. We'll be going back alot, only thing I can recommend is to book a couple of days before as the restaurant is busy.... View menu

Absolutely stunning view! You’re sat facing the waters and boats. Benches outside to sit and soak in the atmosphere. Lovely food choice and variety here as well. You’re almost spoilt with choice. The staff was helpful and responsive. They were happy to recommend best dishes considering the relevant allergies. Food was very tasty and timely. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Drinks were also brought in good time. Absolutely recommend

Nice spot for a sunny day with outdoor seating over-looking the marina. The food was very nice, however we did have a very long wait. Apparently the chef was having a bad day and we ended up waiting an hour or so for the food! When the food did come, though, it was delicious and very well presented. The staff were very apologetic and offered a discount. The blue cheese truffle burgers were a hit, the Thai green curry was nice and the steak and salmon also looked good. We would definitely come back for the food the view.

"I did not want to write a Tripadvisor review before firstly emailing the establishment to tell them of my experience at the King and Queen in Hamble, as I wanted to give them the chance to reply etc with what may have gone wrong for us. They did not reply. We had booked for the Sunday roast and pre-ordered beforehand. My husband and I picked the tomahawk steak roast For 2 people to share. The girl placed it down on the table, after us waiting a while for it to be cooked , which was fine. There was 1 roast potato and 4 balls of stuffing (paxo type) . The girl then bought over 2 small cold side plates and I asked her to bring larger plates , she did and they were cold so I asked for them to be warm and she then came back again with warmer larger plates, which was fine. We also had to ask for roast potatoes and they came later in a bowl, not the best. We had also ordered a side of chips , they came around 20 mins later and we refused them as was by then too late. We also had to ask for our gravy to be warmed up as this was tepid. No one came to ask if the meal was ok, but it was not acceptable, far from . There was only around 20% of the meat which was edible if that. We had to spit out most into a napkin as there as too much gristle and too chewy. We were so disappointed as had been told this was a nice place for roasts and namely pre-ordering a 'special meal ' to share between two. Whoever cut the steak must have seen it was poor before it came out. My daughter also remarked later her chicken was cold but did not like to say anything as was so hungry. When the girl came to take the plates (with most of the food left) she did not ask if everything was ok which we were surprised about. We were meeting new family members for the first time and did not feel we wanted to complain but were also shocked at the lack of compassion by the staff for all the 'wrongs ' but namely the tomahawk quality, which we paid I think £68 for! Also noted there was a substantial service charge added to the bill, which we reluctantly paid but did not feel was warranted. Its hard to make a complaint, as we did not want to ruin the day with bad feeling surrounding the meal. No one asked us though how anything was, which you 'd expect when paying a lot of money. I’d have expected to hear back from the pub with an explanation and for them to offer some good will from this but have heard nothing."

"from beginning to end, it is a taste experience. we had luck getting a table in this little restaurant on a busy Friday night. we were offered drinks as we looked through the menu. there was approx. 5 6 starters and as many main courses to choose from. on a Friday and Saturday night, I think they only offer the a la carte menu. the midweek also offer a set menu. my man decided to have a swirling pleasure with a gruyere cheese epuff, which was divine and served from a glass tea pot. I had the cured salmon and scallops. both appetizers were divine, beautifully presented and memorable. we would certainly order again. for our main course decided two of our party, the Southdown lamb (educated and I have the dover soles with inherited and minze pure and large chips. (not sure why I didn't make a picture of my eating, but I think I was actually distracted and started eating before I remembered the picture! the dover sole was a fabulous twist on fish and chips. total divine and the most memorable part was the draught pure and the juicy fish share! the southdown lamb was a great hit. not only was it beautifully presented, it was also a very large part. 2 lammsteaks were placed on the dauphinoise kartoffels, together with a partly slowly boiled lamb. we could not resist the baked honeycomb and went alaska and decided to share this court. every bite was amazing. the service was friendly and efficient without being overlaid. eating is brilliant. certainly worth a visit!"

"On arrival we were warmly welcomed with a huge smile. A lovely lady who single handedly commandeered the restaurants busy front of house. Her effortless charismatic control over the entire establishment oozed experience and was impressive to say the least. Her ability to acknowledge and strengthen relationships with regulars as well as build rapport with newcomers created a relaxed atmosphere that immediately put us at ease. I knew from being surrounded by people having a good time that we were in good hands. We ordered the Calamari Fritti (to share A true test! As all Calamari lovers know, this is a dish that annoyingly varies significantly from restaurant to restaurant and can often result in a small portion of expensive greasy let down. The Calamari Fritti at La Dolce Vita did not disappoint! It was generous in portion size, had great taste and texture (not rubbery The batter was wonderfully light and not greasy, and quite frankly it was delicious! The only thing that could’ve made it better is to have eaten it by the sea on a hot summers day, but that’s not their fault, I definitely booked a table at 8pm in October! I personally would’ve preferred an aioli or tartare sauce rather than the sweet chilli sauce it came with but that’s my preferential taste and I’m sure if I would’ve asked, they would’ve accommodated my request as they serve tartare sauce with their Whitebait. Ok, so despite being advised on multiple occasions to try their steak we thought we’d do pizza’s this time and conquer pastas next time (Nothing to do with a current promotion or anything lol! I had the Diavlo, an Italian equivalent to perhaps the more commonly known ‘American Hot’ that you may find at a takeaway dedicated franchise. The pizza was a good size and more than enough for 1 person (I’d say the size of a dinner plate it had a thin, crispy base and a wonderfully raised crunchy crust. Although this particular choice of pizza only has a few toppings, they were generously spread and of a very high quality. The meat was similar to a rich spicy smoked Calabrian pork sausage or Chorizo/Nduja and the onions and chillis were crunchy and fresh. The additional chilli oil placed on the table was a nice touch and I’d welcome the option of a garlic oil or garlic dip for the crusts. I also tried my wifes vegetarian Calzone which was like a big hug on a plate, a generously filled Italian pastry pillow. Definitely a cosy winter warmer and a great veggie option. We opted for the New Zealand Marlborough, a Sauvignon blanc which was clean, crisp and fresh, with hints of passionfruit, lychee, and gooseberry. The high acidity was perfect for cutting through the richness of the pizza cheese and the Calamari batter. The wine glasses were clean and the wine was served nice and cold. We were too full for dessert however the options looked enticing (almost as enticing as the Limoncello the table opposite were having! We also appreciated the classics such as ‘Tiramisu’ being on the dessert menu. Why on earth did we wait 2 years to try La Dolce Vita?! From it’s buzzing atmosphere overshadowing it’s humble decor to it’s wonderful food and friendly staff. La Dolce Vita is a restaurant run with passion and skill, celebrating the beauty of classic Italian simplicity delivered through high quality ingredients, traditional methods and efficient service. it’s safe to say we’ll be coming back. We’ve heard the steaks are amazing and we’re also tempted by the Linguine Marinara. The fact they’re always busy would imply that they are uncompromising in their standards which has resulted in a consistency that their customers have not only come to rely on but keep coming back for. Good food, good wine, good company, you can’t get any more Italian than that! Well-done guys, or should I say ‘Bravo!’ PS: I booked a table (as advised by leaving a voicemail on their landline. Their recorded message is clear and concise and there were no issues with my reservation. I do however feel a booking confirmation text would've been reassuring."
