Had a truly amazing meal at Da Massimo this week,The food was incredible and cooked in-house which adds to the quality and freshness of the food and to the eating out experience.Hands down the best Italian food I've experienced and will be my first choice go to restaurant in future evenings out in Farnham.Highly recommended to anyone who is looking for good food and a good eating out experience.

Spur of the moment decision - should have booked but luckily got the last free table on a Saturday evening!! Service was excellent, food was delicious and the recommended red wine room temp and went down a treat!! Lovely evening and will definitely return but we’ll book next time to avoid disappointment!

Honestly, it takes a lot for me to leave a review at all, moreso a poor one but Da Massimo was outwardly such a bitter disappointment. I wish I could say it was forgettable. I love Italian food. Even bad Italian food is usually still delicious...but this was BAD. The food was tasteless, badly cooked and certainly not fresh (the pizza was made on a thin pre made base akin to a supermarket pizza, but worse). The only reason I'm giving the experience 2 stars was that the wine was nice (albeit massively overpriced). Service was fine, but lacking in enthusiasm and certainly no extra care or attention given than taking our order and giving us the bill - maybe they didn't ask of everything was ok because they knew it wasn't.We spent £80 on dinner for 2 and honestly would have been more satisfied by a 2-4-1 Dominos.Definitely will not return.

Sad to say that our experience was really disappointing. Food all seemed to be frozen or packaged and very hurriedly prepared. Pizza consisted of frozen pizza base and supermarket, packet toppings. Nothing appeared to be fresh and certainly not homemade. Really sad as had been very excited to visit based upon a number of positive reviews.

Very enjoyable meal out with family. Thanks to you both for creating such a nice warm environment - a very relaxing restaurant for a family meal. We enjoyed all our dishes and will certainly be back next time we visit.

Overpriced very basic cheap food. Absolutely ridiculous. We lived in Italy for many years. We know. Now living in England for 25 years, this is for those mistaking and Italian name with the image it vehiculates.

New to Farnham, trying out different places. Absolutely perfect, fantastic food, wine and service, nice little cafe atmosphere. Will return soon, thank you.

Don’t believe the negative reviews. I’ve eaten here numerous times and the food is always delicious. Highly recommended ??
Let's start with the bill £76 for two that's ok with wine and a beer. But, food average at best, hardly authentic Italian about it. 5 tiny prawns and 3 scallops £12 as starter, rip off..! Then main, Chicken Breast, dry and over cooked, vegetables alsmost raw, the other dish a Chicken Risotto, bland and tasteless. I didn't complain as my friend treated me to dinner and I didn't want to cause embarrassment. I would not recommend this as great food and Italians would have wished they had stayed at home.

Had a diarrhea after eating food in this restaurant! AVOID. General impression: tacky Italian/Venetian/Sardinian deco, Italian songs but that's about it. Cheap, possibly not fresh ingredients and OVERPRISED food (we saw it being prepared by a grumpy Sheff). Never again!!!

Had lunch with my family here today, we were greeted warmly by the waiter, my wife has food allergies and the chef owner was more than happy to Taylor made a dish for her, food was piping hot and fresh, am Italian myself and have to say the flavours are as good as in Italy reasonably priced and cozy, definitely worth visiting.

Amazing food. Great wine recommendations hidden away down an unassuming alley opposite a pub. We have been back 5or6 times and top food every time. Its either empty or full. They do great takeaway pizza too.

Came to get a takeaway & while waiting I had a glass of wine. I recognise the label as I get it myself occasionally. It’s perhaps £8-10 for the bottle. When the bill came, I had the shock of my life: I had been charged £10 for a glass!!! Come on guys! For real? Obviously I won’t ever be back after being ripped off like that!
