“We wanted to build something from the ground up and Gosport really got behind us.”

Bobby’s Italian has been part of Gosport’s food scene since 2013, but its story began decades earlier when owner Mark Broadbent fell in love with kitchen life at just 17. After years in five star hotels and running restaurants with his wife Carole, the pair transformed a derelict Stoke Road pub into the warm, family run Italian locals know today. Known for fresh, affordable dishes made from scratch – especially its much loved carbonara.

Bobby’s has become a community favourite, training young chefs and celebrating milestones with loyal regulars.
