Albero Italian

Amazing place. Absolute gem in the new forest. Wonderful atmosphere ! The interior is clean, light and earthy. The food is genuine Italian food and tastes truly excellent. They have the loveliest pizza oven and make the loveliest dough. Could not recommend this place any more.

Great restaurant for traditional Italian food
We went for the staple meal off the menu
Margarita pizza and the very large calzone.

This is a good indicator as these set the standard. Both were excellent.

Although we didn’t have an appetiser they all looked fantastic especially the meat platter.

Finished off with a good tiramisu, all were very reasonably priced.

Finally the service was always on hand but not in your face and extremely friendly.

A must when visiting Brockenhurst.

Had a once in a lifetime, fine dining experience due to an unexpected power cut interruption!

'Twas a raining Sunday afternoon, where my partner and I found ourselves in this abnormal situation just towards the end of what I can only describe as an incredible, Italian meal, where the whole village faced a blackout!

Although we were the only guests present at the time, the staff maintained a highly professional approach to serving us, and offered us a lit candle, which only enhanced the warm atmosphere!

Bringing the focus to the food, it was truly wonderful, with every mouth there was explosion of flavour! Between the two of us, we ordered a pizza and pasta dish, both as excellent as each other.

Due to the nature of the extraordinary situation, the team at Albero offered to take the drinks off the bill, which was an act we were most grateful for!

10/10 would go again.

Me and my partner discovered this little gem last summer and we loved it so much we returned the next day for more!
It is the most authentic ( and THE BEST ) Italian restaurant we’ve ever been to and the food is just out of this world! We keep saying we’ll try the pasta, however once you taste their pizza you can’t not have it. We returned again a week ago and had the best time. It is the cosiest little place. All staff are lovely and very attentive. Service is fast and always accurate. Safe to say we will be coming here regularly. ⭐️⭐️⭐️10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great little Italian restaurant in the new forest. We stayed in Beaulieu for the weekend and wanted a takeaway pizza after a long drive. The pizza was lovely and the staff were so friendly. The next evening we dined in and had a lovely meal. Seriously, the best tiramisu I've eaten (second only to my mum or nonnas). Really lovely night out - great vibe, atmosphere and decor generally

Nice atmosphere inside and friendly staff. The olives are the best we have ever had in a restaurant and nice they were actually served at room temperature! Unfortunately there was an issue with my main, I won't go into details. Initially our waitress was not sure how to deal with it but after another waitress and the chef came over it was dealt with in a good manner. These things happen sometimes and although it took the shine off our meal, I would definitely like to go back. Despite the issue the food itself was very tasty.

Great find. From the website the food looked great so when we drive past one night we figured we'd give it a try.

Lovely setting, indoor and outdoor tables, small car park out the back for customers but it's opposite the train station too so plenty of other parking.

Food was incredible, really fresh authentic Italian from a team from previous Michelin restaurants in Italy.

Very friendly accommodating staff, and a great view of the food prep area (for Pizza etc) from the restaurant.

It was just my wife and I this time but we'd booked another table for later in the week for the whole family as we were so impressed. Looking forward to taking the kids.

Update: Went back here later the week after our first visit, this time with kids too. 5 star rating stands firm. Food was brilliant again, service good, kids happy. Felt very welcome and recognised by the staff when we entered which was a nice touch.

Eaten at Albero twice in the past month and each time the food and service have been excellent. We had the calzone and sea bass and both were delicious. Staff were very attentive and smiley. Will definitely be back.
