We just had a lovely meal at Da Vinci’s in Poole! Food was excellent, every starter, main and dessert that we ordered were amazing, but best of all was the service and how we were looked after by Paolo and his fellow staff members! It was my birthday and it was the perfect way to finish a great day! Thank you
