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.

A real benefit to Wareham

Aug 2020 • solo

Just popped in for a slice if their amazing lemon drizzle cake and chocolate orange slice and ended up having yet another amazing pizza due to having no will power . Two things set this place Above some others. 1... The consistency of high quality ingredients . 2... The Sincere connection they make with their customers. I really recommend both the Italian Bakery and Kitchen kitchen and hope they cope with the pressures that this Eat Out to Help Out campaign must be putting in them . Thank you Ian

Good takaway

Oct 2021 • none

We had a takeaway pizza and Spag Bol. Not cheap but good quality and large portions. They also deliver free within 2.5 miles but Unfortunately our caravan site is three miles from Wareham so there is a cost. But worth it it you don’t want to turn out.

Consistently great service

Jul 2022 • solo

I have been a customer for a while now and generally get a delivery from their own team members who are always punctual and friendly . Today I was passing by and popped in for a Rustica and pollo. The service I received tonight was so genuinely warming and welcoming from staff members that care and seeming enjoy being in hospitality .The pizzas were typically amazing. As a fellow caterer I Highly recommend this company for both service and product

Overpriced and tasteless

Jun 2021 • couples

Passing through Wareham we spotted this bakery and decided to pop in for a sandwich for lunch, mistake! One chicken and pesto toastie and one Brie and cranberry toastie £10.15. Both were unseasoned and tasteless. The chicken one was dry and rubbery and the Brie one was stuffed FULL of raw onion. To top it all I waited 15 mins for them to be made. No one else in the shop and 2 staff members. Very disappointing.

Oh Dear!

Mar 2021 • family

Oh Dear because I can forsee an expanding waistline on the horizon! My son and I visited the Italian Bakery today for the 1st time. Had been meaning to for quite a while and I have to say it has more than lived up to its reputation. We took a couple of their artisan breads, a couple of savoury pastries and a slice of Bakewell tart. All are delicious and in my opinion far more yummy than any of their competition locally. The choice of goods was a mixture of traditional and a fair variety of lesser known concoctions, every single one of which I would of happily tasted! The quality of the pastry and indeed the meat was very good indeed. The lady who was serving was welcoming and service was excellent as was cleanliness. Well done 👍 Highly recommended. Wareham is housing some great little eateries, I really hope they continue to flourish in the present climate.

Delicious

Aug 2023 • family

Delicious chicken and chorizo sandwiches. They cost £5.50 but they are stuffed full of filling so money well spent in my opinion. We also had a 'pizzette' (we chose cheese, tomato, basil) which was quite big and also very tasty.

VISIT IF IN WAREHAM!

May 2021 • couples

We spotted this as it seemed busy which was a good sign. We managed to get an outside seat and watch the world go by. We both had coffee. Which was just normal coffee. My wife had a mahoosive slice of Bakewell tart which she stated was the best she had ever had which is some statement considering the amount of cake she has had in her 59 years! I had the Dorset apple cake which was also outstanding. Well worth the visit! Thank you.

Expensive treat

May 2022 • none

£2.50 for a sausage roll seems quite steep. They were tasty but overpoweringly garlicky! The peanut butter and date cake was delicious but I wish I'd only eaten half as it was very rich. A nice treat but I felt the prices were a bit high.

Changed my life

May 2021 • friends

Would give this a 6/5 if I could. Arrived in the morning and had some canoloni and doughnuts which were amazing. We took away the chili and cheddar bread which was also the best bread I ever had in my life. Was so amazed by the bread and breakfast that we stopped by on the way back with a prayer this place would still be open. To my delight it still was and we ordered the spicy pizza, peacon brownie, and the special sausage roll, all of which had blown my mind. I would consider selling my car to buy more baked goods. This is one not to be missed.

Quality food and great service

Oct 2023 • solo

Popped in for a takeaway tonight and ordered a burger and chips . Service was really chirpy and helpful . Well the weather may have been awful but the food was delicious and the burger was definitely hand made or from a local butcher. Will return again next week for more .

A bit pricey.

Apr 2024 • couples

I am not sure what l was paying for tbh; the coffee was average and the baguette was rather dry. I also bought a couple of lemon pastries which were tasteless and a raspberry drizzle cake- okay but a little dry. In short, there are better places to visit imo.

Amazing bakery

Feb 2023 • couples

I visited the new bakery in Swanage today. I had a chat with a lovely lady about the bread. I ended up buying some focaccia bread olive and cherry tomatoes. (I wanted to try the salt and rosemary but they were sold out) . and the mix Italian herbs and mix olives sourdough. Of course a cinnamon bun . I have to say that my husband and I loved both breads, they were fantastic and full of flavour. We will definitely be coming back to try more. The staff are very friendly in there aswel .

If you look in the window you'll want to go in.

Mar 2021 • none

Very good spicy Italian sausage rolls and cheese pasties. Good selection of bread and very nice cakes. Coffee's okay but not great. Reasonable prices. We always visit when in Wareham and would recommend. Basically, if you look in the window you'll want to go in.
