Pavarotti's - Isle of Wight

We visited here after walking out of a local pub, where we were made to feel very unwelcome. From walking into Pavarottis, we were treated brilliantly and made to feel so welcome. The owner was so pleasant and friendly and the restaurant just had a really nice atmosphere. The menu choices catered to all tastes, and we really were spoilt for choice. The prices here were excellent on all choices. The food was cooked to perfection we all enjoyed our mains and decided to have dessert too again, an excellent choice and beautifully presented. Would recommend it to anyone and would give it more stars if I could.

My wife Kathryn and I visited Pavarotti restaurant on a stormy evening in March when we were on a short break to Shanklin. We were given a warm welcome by the lady owner and told to choose our own table as there weren’t many diners in that evening. We had both looked at the menu on line and so we knew what we wanted to order. For drinks we had a bottle of the house red at £18 which was a decent Shiraz. For starters I had the Spicy mussel stew and Kathryn had the deep fried Squid. Both were good portions served quickly, there was an excellent flavour to the “stew” and the mussels were sweet and plentiful. The squid was tender in a light batter with dips of sweet chilli and mayonnaise. We both ordered the Lobster and Crab Tortellini with Prawns for our main and wow we were not disappointed. Fresh Tortellini filled with a mixture of crab and lobster surrounded by big juicy prawns in a sauce to die for. We were too full for a dessert but the desert menu board looked very tempting. By the time we had finished all the other diners had left and we still had 15 minutes to wait for our taxi. The owner was lovely and told us we could wait in the restaurant for as long as it took for the taxi to arrive. The owner gave us a big hug and wished us a safe journey back to Yorkshire the next day. Overall we rated the meal, the service and the very warm welcome as one of if not the best Italian meals we have ever had.

Lovely restaurant, lovely owners and amazing food. If you are ever in Shanklin you must give this place a try, you won't be disappointed. The staff go out of their way to please and are so friendly. I will definitely be going again soon!

Oh my word, what a find! This restaurant is amazing. The food was exceptional, great range of choices and everything we had was absolutely delicious. Service was great, the welcome was wonderfully warm and friendly. I so wish I lived closer and could visit more regularly. Definitely visit if you are in Shanklin.
