My Mum celebrated her 70th at Tonino’s and it didn’t disappoint! We had a wonderful, authentic Italian meal. Everyone enjoyed the food and the service was excellent. Looking forward to my next visit.

Our first experience of the restaurant was a nice surprise. A traditional Italian that we have walked passed for years...I wish we had stopped by sooner. Great staff including the owner, great location and atmosphere and scrumptious food. Pizza to die for and delicious desserts. Great prices too.

Three of us had a superb meal, ranging from the fish, pizza with beef strips and a lamb stew from the specials board. Great service and phenomenal food. Extremely enjoyable evening.

This amazing little independent restaurant in Cowes is a must visit for all who come to the Isle of Wight. We went there for an evening meal to celebrate a family member's birthday. They put on party poppers and table decorations for us all. Food was brilliant. As a party we all had different meals and all were delicious, well presented and a good size. Staff were attentive throughout the meal. Would certainly recommend this as a place to go.

Really nice place to spend an evening. Although they do pizzas, it’s worth delving into their menu for some quality Italian food. Great selection of wine too!
