Piccolo Mondo
About
Piccolo Mondo is Wimborne’s first Italian restaurant, celebrating its 42nd year in town. Located on 5 Kings Court High Street, the family‑run eatery offers a warm, convivial atmosphere that has earned it a reputation for friendly service and authentic Italian flavours. From wood‑fired pizza and handmade pasta to a curated wine list featuring Italian classics, every dish is prepared fresh using local produce, including trout from Bell’s Fisheries and eggs from Fluffetts. Beyond the menu, the restaurant prides itself on its commitment to sustainability – from a ‘Plastic Free Champion’ recycling program to compostable takeaway packaging and a ‘mug basket’ scheme that encourages customers to reuse reusable mugs. Piccolo Mondo has evolved over two decades, expanding from a cozy eight‑table pizzeria to a larger space within the historic Vineyard Wine Bar. Guests can enjoy the newly extended terrace, which opens onto a garden roof, as well as the intimate ‘La Serra’ extension room. The venue’s staff are known for their attentiveness and genuine hospitality, making it a favourite spot for family meals, romantic dinners, and casual take‑away lunches. Reservations are accepted for lunch and dinner but can be made over the phone, WhatsApp, or online form.
