What a pretty looking bistro, on the bustling high street! As soon as we entered, we were given a very warm welcome. Our table was ready for us. It was a pleasant atmosphere. Our orders were taken quite promptly as well. The cafe wasn’t very busy. There were some tables for maybe breakfast or snacks. However, our order took about 45 minutes to arrive at the table. It was quite a long wait, especially for the kids. However, the kids' pesto pasta was delicious and so was the fried chicken escalope. We could taste the pasta freshly made, which is what we would expect at an Italian place. We also had the Sea bream special with vegetables, which was quite delicious. But in terms of roasted vegetables, there were only potatoes. However, apart from the wait - what really let us down was the mains that my husband and I ordered. I ordered Spaghetti Marinara with King Prawns and my husband ordered their special Seafood Spaghetti. As you can see from the photos, the king prawns were so small that I would not call them king prawns. Also, for both our dishes - the spaghetti seemed like it was out of a packet, not freshly made. I would at least expect that from an Italian establishment. Also, both the dishes were quite watery and bland. But the staff were quite friendly and attentive, and in spite of the food not upto the mark - we left with a smile on our face.

Nice dishes with a very good price/quality ratio. Service was not the best because they had a missing waiter. However the only waiter was very friendly and did his best. Excellent effort. Another nice thing is that they are dog friendly.

We passed this interesting looking cafe which we hadn't noticed before. They had a main menu and a brunch menu and as we wanted a light meal we went for the latter. I tried the tomato omelette and added cheese and my wife had poached eggs with avocado, tomatoes, toast and smoke salmon. The quality of the food was excellent and it was beautifully cooked and presented. The proprietor was very friendly and chatty. Prices were reasonable for the quality and location.

Very busy on a Friday night with a mixed audience from families with children to couples on dates. We were unfortunately squeezed in between 2 families and got noisy from 4 sets of handheld devices used for games or videos. I never stop to wonder why the parents don’t give their little ones headphones so the rest of the place can have a nice evening. Starters were really nice, grilled octopus and burrata. Can recommend both of them. Carbonara for main was not good at all. It looked like the dish had been sitting around for a while before it was brought out with the sauce starting to dry. Not a lot of flavour, lacking both salt and pepper. The guanciale on my dish was all fat. I know that cut is supposed to be fatty but lightly fried 0,5 inch lumps of fat was just disgusting! I told 2 members of staff who apologised and promised to deduct something from the bill. That didn’t happen… Not the normal experience but unfortunately the one I’m now left with and I’ll give it some time before coming back.

This is a place very dear to my heart with strong sentimental value, my late Mother loved this restaurant, and before she died we would come here often as a family for either food but mainly for the ice cream. This is an italian family owned business, and the husband and wife who own this resturant are usually always there and always warm, friendly and accommodating. I often come here to eat when I feel sad and somehow want to feel connected to my Mother but in the summer I usually come a lot more for the delicious ice cream. I recommend their vanilla with mango sorbet! My mothers favourite dish that I usually get here is Salmone, it bursts with flavour and never disappoints, The atmosphere here is nice too, the resturant gives a family feeling, the only thing that would make it perfect is better heating.

We visited midweek so it was a little quiet, which was perfect. Food was delicious, appropriately priced, and the service was friendly and not in any sense forced.
