Harden's survey result
Summary
Chef Giuseppe Vannucci offers “lovely fresh seafood” at this smart outfit in the “interesting location” of an Art Deco bandstand on the pier overlooking Weymouth Bay, but there’s also a full menu of classic Italian dishes. With seven years of success behind them, Giuseppe and co-founder Tim Newton opened a second branch in Dorchester last summer.
Summary
“For daytime romance in the intimate setting of an Art Deco pier bandstand overlooking Weymouth Bay”, this classy Italian outfit is just the ticket – and the food, while sticking to the usual classics (pasta, risotto, antipasti etc.) is “fabulous” too.
Summary
“Good-quality Italian food” in a “stunning Art Deco building” at the end of a pier makes for a formidable combination. There’s also “excellent, friendly service”, and of course “great views of the sea”.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
