Lower Bockhampton, Italian - Restaurant Guide

This “professionally run market-town restaurant” in a distinguished historic townhouse “delivers on its promise, with well-cooked and presented” Italian dishes, mainly fish and seafood. Previously a fixture on the pier (‘molo’ in Italian) at Weymouth, the business transferred four years ago to a landmark 15th-century building most famous as the lodging for ‘hanging judge’ George Jeffreys during the 1685 treason trials that followed the failed Monmouth rebellion against James II.

2022 Review: With no social media presence as yet, and a hard-to-find name (lots of search results for Carluccio's – not helped by the fact that this location used to be one, and even repurposes the sign), we are presuming that Luciano Pierre White is relying on word of mouth – and his famous name – to get punters into his first solo restaurant. He's worked with Pierre Koffmann and the Adria brothers according to press quotes, and his father credits him with a great work ethic. An early-doors visit from a reporter noted it to be ‘very promising’ and another thought ‘the food’s great and the service will only improve’.
