Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND ❤️
Last night we had an issue with deliveroo not allowing them to accept our order becauee of the time. Deliveroo didn't contact us about this and we would of been left without food if we didn't check. We phoned up and even though they were now closed the guy really wanted to get us our food anyways and still gave us some of the discount delieveroo was meant to be giving us. Really lovely man. The portion sizes were really good for the price truly amazing food fresh and tasty the Italian cheese pizza is to die for. Salad very good especially for the price, And Tiramisu was also really nice maybe could do with a bit more flavour :)

We have visited Etna and had booking for my girlfriend's birthday and were very impressed with food and lovely staff who went the extra mile signing a card for her and helium balloon 🎈 😊
We've ordered garlic bread with frsh tomatoes, basil and garlic starter followed by salmon, broccoli and prawns pasta dish and chicken breast with Napoli sauce. The latter cake with big side salad and fries.
All ingredients were fresh and we were impressed with taste and presentation.
Menu is reasonably priced and staff happy to accommodate and chef happy to add/take away any ingredients according to our preferences.
Staff and owner were very welcoming - we will be coming back! 😊

I visited Etna pizzeria for the first time yesterday. I was amazed by the quality of the food and the service was really great 😊 we had george our waiter he is really a professional guy who knows how to let you enjoy your evening with his suggestions for us to choose the best food because it was our first visit and his brilliant customer service. Everything we had as starter to food to drinks was tasty and fresh. Portion are fairly big for a reasonable price. Presentation of the food in your plate was amazing. We tried pasta was unbelievable delicious. Chicken with mushroom sauce was delicious also with a good quality veg and potatoes.even the desserts was also delicious 🤤
I will really recommend this restaurant if you want a delicious food with good quality and nice service and not expensive like many other restaurants.
Try it and you will see.
Thanks for this brilliant experience and I am still going back to try more dishes.

Ordered this place online as they happened to be on offer and it was really good. The prices are reasonable and the portion size excellent. I made a few changes to some of the order by adding ingredients and requesting fettuccine carbonara instead of spaghetti, all were handled excellently and the restaurant called to confirm our request. When the food arrived it was hot, very authentic and a good size. The pasta was excellent and the pizzas were a good 14 inch wood fired variety. I will definitely be ordering here again and would welcome a visit when normal returns. Highly recommend.

Fantastic service, the chef personally asked us how the pizza was and our waiter checked on us numerous times. All the staff had a smile and a good laugh with us.
The starters and pizzas were delicious. The was a really good selection of food. We will definitely be returning to this little gem!

Right in the middle of Lockdown and trying to find a thin and Crispy based Stoned Baked Pizza...along came Etna, our local Italian.
We started by looking at their menu just for Pizzas but to our surprise they had a very attractive set of starters, mains and desserts! We went for the Calamari Fritti (to die for) followed by the Antipasti (the cold meats and salad was second to none)
Now, size of the pizzas: I instantly assumed this would be you average main dish sized plate but to my astonishment this was the size of a large pizza !! The dough was delicious, thin and crispy, the tomato sauce and ingredients were amazing! Our order was on our doorstep delivered by a very polite gentleman 25 minutes after our initial order, which was great but to top it all off the bill was soooo reasonable!!

What a discovery! We thought we'd give Etna a try as we had heard really positive things about it from friends.
We had the calamari fritti for starter which came with mayo, and a really fresh rocket and tomato salad. We've travelled all over Italy and I can say Etna's Pizza Capricciosa is as good as what we had in Napoli! There were loads of artichokes and olives, the base was nice and thin and it was was huge.
The Linguini alla Pescatore was so good with lots of mixed shellfish, and cooked perfectly; there was plenty left over for another full meal the next day.
The delivery arrived spot on time and the food was hot and freshly cooked. We've go no reservations about recommending Etna for a fantastic Italian. This was the first time of hopefully many more takeaways from Etna.Can't wait for it open up for table service we'll be booking. Thanks guys :-)

Ordered a takeaway through Uber Eats, pizza was cooked to perfection along with a side of chips. Came within time, was an issue where our garlic bread was forgotten however for the inconvenience we were given a free drink & dessert. Although it wasn’t a big deal, the courtesy was really appreciated and was a lovely gesture by the restaurant. 1000% recommend

This lovely little restaurant opened during 2020. We had numerous takeaways from them during lockdown which were always superb (see my earlier review) With indoor eating now opening up again we decided a family to go for a midweek family meal.
It has been refurbished & has a more modern feel from when it was previously operating as “Frascatti”. We’d booked a table which was lucky as was already filling up when we got there.
Very friendly greeting from member of staff who kept a friendly & efficient manner throughout the evening.
The food we were served was superb. Beautifully presented & everything tasted delicious. Between us we had garlic bread, vegan pizza, Etna pizza, seafood linguine & spaghetti bolo.
Food is fairly priced. They also have a good & fairly priced wine list.
Excellent restaurant,100% recommended. They really deserve to succeed.
Give it a go #supportyourlocalrestaurant.

Great service, both waiters very attentive and friendly. Pane al Pomodoro delicious, ordered one each and they turned out to be quite large but both scoffed the lot as utterly delicious. Wine not overpriced and main meals of Spaghetti alla Carbonara and Linguine alla Pescatore equally good quality and very tasty. Too stuffed for pudding but the complimentary limoncello was a nice touch. Would definitely recommend.

In Bournemouth for a conference and Decided to give Etna a try after the restaurant we would normally go to changed hands and the reviews were not good.
I would probably walk past this restaurant because it looks nothing from the outside but immediately you enter you are surrounded by a warm welcoming atmosphere.
On the night we went there was only one person serving and he was a bit of a live wire laughing and joking with everyone in the party. We got off to a slow start with starters which when they arrived were nice but that was just the warmup to the main course which was delicious. Everyone in the party ordered something different and everyone said how much they enjoyed it. Large portions meant that desert was not possible but we did manage to squeeze in another drink.
Would I go back the next time I am In Bournemouth… absolutely
Would I recommend this restaurant, only if you are not rushing and want great food.

We visited Etna Pizzeria after a recommendation from friends and it didn’t disappoint. I’m actually gutted that I don’t live close by and am only visiting Charminster for the weekend. It was genuinely the best Italian food I have ever tasted and the service from George was delightful, you can see and feel that he is happy in his work and his customers comfort and happiness obviously mean a lot to him. We had a wonderful time there. Booking is highly recommended, although they do do free delivery if ordered directly from them

We went for a 30th birthday meal and had a great time. The service was fantastic and the food was amazing. I can't remember the waiters name who served us but he was hilarious and very attentive to us. They even brought out a dessert with candles for the birthday guest which was requested last minute.
Highly recommend to anyone looking for great, fresh Italian food .
The limoncello shots were a great touch at the end.
Thank you! We will visit again!

The staff and atmosphere are so warm and friendly, and you can tell everyone is happy to work there which says everything. The food was also delicious with good portions for a good price - We had both the pasta and pizza on our visit and you can tell everything is freshly made. Best Italian in Bournemouth!

My wife Dtr in law & myself had great dining experience at this intimate Italian Restaurant which we chose purely on Trip Advisor ratings.
It looks unpretentious from the outside but the moment we stepped through the door we received a warm welcome from our server Ruben who was utterly charming and attentive throughout the evening.
The menu was varied & Etna make their own wood fired pizzas.
We chose a seafood risotto, a vegetable risotto & a linguine with salmon as mains; we shared 2 portions of delicious mozzarella & garlic bread as a starter. All washed down with a very pleasant bottle of Pinot Grigio blush at a very decent price.
Alas we were too full,from the generous main portions, to try the dessert menu
Our host kindly called a taxi for us to return to our hotel.
We all agreed we would return in a heartbeat.
