La Margherita - Menu

It was quiet when we visited but we could imagine how lively it must be at times! We were well looked after by a very friendly waitress and we enjoyed a very good meal.NOW FANTINIS not La Margherita.

my first visit since being Fantinis (formally la margheritas) food excellent very tasty, good sized portions. staff very attentive (but not in your face) and very friendly. very clean and I cannot wait til my next visit there xx

We had great food served by first class friendly staff. Lovely tasty food, friendly and efficient staff, a real pleasure. Ok, name changed but still firat class staff, great manager and great food. Surprised restaurant was quiet as everything was perfect, foid, staff and very reasonable cost. View menu

Visited Fantinis (formerly La Margherita) on a couple of occasions the first of which we had a beautiful meal with a few drinks.On our most recent second occasion we just stayed for drinks. A decent cocktail selection for the ladies a few draught bottled beers for the lads!This place is, in my view, expensive but it is in a lovely location overlooking the harbour has a really cosmopolitan feel to it.We will be back when visiting Southampton in the future.

We visited on 06/10/15 for our anniversary, we were one of the only people in the restaurant but that didn't take away anything from the experience. The setting is picturesque looking our onto the harbour and we had lovely cocktails before we sat down for the meal. The meal itself was incredible. We had the fish platter to start which was Devine followed by the ribs and lobster plate and the fish grill. (We love fish). The portions were generous and filling which was lovely!! We were both stuffed so no room for pudding but we didn't mind as the mains were so good!Over all an amazing meal.

It is not very often that I am forced to give a negative review, but honesty demands a frank warning that value for money is not to be found here. The are so many other choices for Italian food, but just as in Italy, there are good, average and places you are not going to return to. The bonhomie of welcome was fine, even warm, but the service was lethargic. The presentation and quality of food did not match up to the prices, especially when, within a one mile there are exceptional food and service alternatives to be found at similar prices. All in all, a disappointing first (and last) visit. View menu

Today I was treated to a meal at Fantinis from daughters and husband, from start to finish the service we received was 100% not a bad word could be said, our waiter was friendly, made sure we had everything we wanted and needed, being Mother's Day all staff where running around like crazy to tend to everybody's needs. The food was amazing all our dishes -3 courses where fantastic. Pizza, Mixed fish grill, lasagne and rack of lamb, tiramisu, bread and butter pudding ice cream chocolate cake, plus starters, in my top 5 favourite restaurants, would recommend, and a bonus that I got my meal free as I am a mummy :

What was known as Le Margherita is now Fantinis and it is were I recently Held my Hen dinner party .It was a wonderful evening. The food was amazing and nice portions too. I must confess I didn't realise how big the starters were and I couldn't finish my mains as a result but I tried sooo hard as it was too good to leave. The staff were brilliant it was a busy night yet they some how managed to get around everyone with a smile, charm a laugh and politeness and patients. I was also impressed that they even made time to help my friend learn how to get the meat out of lobster as well. It was a lovely evening and all the staff should be very proud of themselves for providing such a wonderful res...

Called by for dinner and thought the location was brilliant.Seen and seated quickly, but that's where the haste dropped off, service was quite slow and I had to ask to order, and also to check where the drinks were. Didn't help that they didn't have half the drinks on the menu.The scallops for starter were great, I would highly recommend. At first they delivered the wrong main course, which I hadn't noticed until after I had put some of my potatoes and vegetables on the plate, when I drew it to the waiter's attention he admitted the mistake, he took it away and replaced it, but no offer to replace the side dishes. I felt for the other diner who had to wait a further 20 minutes for theirs, es... View menu
