Ennios is an Italian restaurant at 4A Town Quay on Southampton’s old waterfront. The dining room occupies the ground floor of the historic Geddes Warehouse, with ten boutique bedrooms above and views towards Southampton Water. Its setting near the ferry and cruise terminals gives the restaurant a strong sense of place.

The kitchen follows the seasons and the daily catch, with hand rolled pasta, slow braised meat, fresh fish and seafood at the centre of its Italian cooking. Antipasti and breads offer a measured beginning, while sauces using lemon, capers, olive oil, wine and herbs keep the main dishes closely connected to their ingredients.

Vegetarian, vegan and gluten free choices are marked across the current menu, and daily specials add to the regular selection. Breakfast and Sunday lunch extend the restaurant beyond a conventional dinner service. Guests with allergies should tell the team before ordering because ingredients and seasonal dishes change.

An extensive Italian wine list supports the food, joined by cocktails, spirits, coffee and alcohol free drinks. Tiramisu, panna cotta and other classic desserts provide a polished finish. Ennios combines careful Italian technique and warm service with the unusual atmosphere of a Victorian warehouse beside Southampton Water.

Address: 4A Town Quay, Southampton SO14 2AR, United Kingdom
