When I saw Max’s has high ratings on Google, I went in with high expectations. I’ve been to many Italian restaurants across the UK and I’d say Max’s is London prices but it’s not London quality…

Starters – whitebait – so hard I couldn’t put a fork in it so had to eat it with hands. Main course didnt taste of salmon much but sauce was okay. My Dad’s meatball pasta wasn’t for me at all – sauce was too sour like just opening a can of diced tomatoes and serving it. Meatballs didn’t taste good so I only tried half of one. All hot food was too hot – it burned our mouths.

My latte was good and the service was excellent but I shall end on one final thought… In my local Italian in Guildford, it’s completely full with no tables left at 5pm… on a Monday… and at 5pm on a Sunday, Max’s has plenty of tables free. I’d suggest lowering prices or improving the food.

They label themselves as an Italian restaurant and it was nice but it was far and beyond what one would expect from the prices they had out.

It was expensive but the carbonara I had was a little sickly and frankly not that good. I’ve been to Italy and the food there was better – I would expect it to be but this was a poor showing. The tomatoes were not fresh BUT there was a great wine selection and the olive oil and vinegar left out was good and actually parts of what we ate was delicious.

The service was good and the interior was beautiful. So a bag of mixed feelings really.

Today is our anniversary, and from the moment we walked into the restaurant we received a warm welcome. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was lovely. The food was absolutely brilliant. It was our first time here, but we will definitely be regular customers from now on and will recommend it to all of our friends who visit Southampton

Absolutely wonderful experience! The service was flawless from start to finish—attentive, friendly, and truly professional. The food was outstanding: authentic Italian flavors, perfectly prepared, and beautifully presented. Every dish was delicious and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. A perfect combination of excellent service and amazing food. Highly recommended, and I can’t wait to come back!

My favourite place to eat and enjoy a dining experience in Southampton. I love it here because it’s so traditional and so lovely inside. Max makes you feel at home and is so welcoming. My favourite dish is currently cod but the beauty with Max’s is the dishes change and there’s always something different. The wine is by far the best in town, as a wine fan I know that the selection there is always the best, not mass produced nor any nasty chemicals like some of the cheaper wines I’ve had in other establishments including high end ones…plus you can purchase the bottles you like.
We’re regulars now which says it all.
One word of advice if you come during theatre times it is packed and very busy so you may not get a table.

The best restaurant in Southampton – and one of the best in the UK!

Authentic, delicious Italian food made with high-quality ingredients. The wine selection is exceptional, with a fantastic range of bottles. The restaurant is welcoming, clean, and the outdoor area is truly special – with beautiful touches like grapevines growing on the wall.
The service is professional and friendly. A special mention to the owner, Max, for his kindness, charm, and professionalism – he made our experience fun, relaxed, and unforgettable.
If you’re in Southampton, this place is an absolute must-visit!

Very sad this place was so empty after theatre trade. Max was extremely helpful in organising my group booking and added humour to the serving. Authentic Italian food and you have to try the balsamic vodka or gin….can’t want for the balsamic prosecco later this year too!
