THE LOCATION

The restaurant is in the heart of Wimborne, in this wonderful; market town, a few miles from the beach at Bournemouth.

Set over two floors in a beautiful Georgian villa, Prezzo Wimborne has a warm and welcoming atmosphere and its mix of traditional and contemporary styles promises something for everyone. The restaurant has five dining rooms, each with its own unique style, and can cater for large parties or special occasions. Additional al fresco dining is available on the attractive patio at the front of the building. Why not celebrate a special occasion or in our upstairs private dining area . This large dining area can hold a capacity of 50 guests making it perfect for a family get together or function.
