Prezzo BH2 Bournemouth Review: A Family-Friendly Restaurant in the Heart of Town

If you’re looking for a reliable, family-friendly restaurant in Bournemouth town centre, Prezzo at BH2 is such a great option.

Located inside the popular BH2 Leisure Complex, just moments from Bournemouth Pier and opposite multiple town centre car parks, it’s perfectly positioned for a full day (or evening) out. Whether you’re planning dinner before a cinema trip or somewhere relaxed after an activity, it ticks a lot of boxes.

A Relaxed & Welcoming Atmosphere

From the moment we arrived, the staff were friendly and welcoming - exactly what you want when dining with children. It felt relaxed without being chaotic, and we were quickly settled with menus and drinks.

The team were lovely with the girls, which always makes such a difference. It’s those small interactions that set the tone for an easy family meal.

Great Kids Menu (And Colouring!)

Prezzo BH2 is well set up for families. There’s a dedicated kids menu with plenty of choice, and the addition of colouring sheets kept little hands busy while we waited for food - a simple but much-appreciated touch.

The girls both chose the Margherita pizza with a side of chips, which went down perfectly. The portions were generous, nicely presented and disappeared quickly - always a good sign.

There’s also the Prezzo Kids Club subscription worth mentioning here, which offers little ones a free three-course meal when an adult main is purchased (when subscribed). It’s a brilliant added bonus for families and makes dining out in Bournemouth that bit more affordable.

Exceptional Italian Food for Adults Too

While Prezzo is wonderfully family-friendly, the adult menu absolutely holds its own.

I chose the crab and lobster ravioli - and it was exceptional. Rich, flavourful and beautifully balanced, it felt like a real treat rather than just a convenient family option. It’s reassuring when you can take the children somewhere that caters to them but still enjoy genuinely good food yourself.

Perfect for Wet Weather Days in Bournemouth

One of the biggest advantages of Prezzo BH2 is its location within the BH2 Leisure Complex.

If you’re looking for things to do in Bournemouth on a rainy day, you can easily combine:

• A meal at Prezzo
• A film at Odeon Cinema
• An experience at Escape Hunt
• Or even a wander into the town centre or down to the seafront

It makes planning simple. Everything is under one roof (or within a few minutes’ walk), and there’s plenty of parking directly opposite, which removes that usual town-centre stress.

Ideal For:

• Family dining in Bournemouth
• Pre-cinema meals at BH2
• Rainy day activities in Bournemouth
• Date nights with flexibility
• Group dinners in central Bournemouth

Final Thoughts

Prezzo BH2 is one of those dependable restaurants in Bournemouth that works for almost any occasion. Central location, family-friendly touches, genuinely good Italian food and easy access to parking and entertainment make it a strong choice whether you’re local or visiting Bournemouth.

If you’re planning a day out at BH2 or looking for somewhere relaxed and welcoming to eat in Bournemouth town centre, Prezzo is well worth booking.
