One of the finest Italian's I've ever been too, proper authentic, never been disappointed with the food and alcohol here. Every time I dare to step out of my comfort zone and try a new dish, it always surpasses expectations. Glad to have the benefit of it being on my dorostep. Service is professional and welcoming. Would recommend to anyone.

A last minute invitation to join family for a meal turned into a top trumps evening. The staff were jovial & attentive, interesting decoration which gave a very upleasant ambiance & background hum of happy punters. This was our first visit & certainly won’t be our last, can’t believe we’ve never been before & it’s so close to home. We were most impressed with the menu, presentation & quality of the items we chose.

Parking is a risk a little car park opposite we ended up parking on the street not a problem but at busier times you could struggle? The welcome was standard but very warm and we was directed to our seats a clean table Seats are a bit dated but very comfortable and the table was big enough for two not a cheeky small table. Service was good, food was outstanding definitely worth a look again. Sadly we had a mix up on the food half off my meal was on the wife'splate and half of hers was on mine quickly resolved but did take the shine of a cracking meal and some what altered the experience. Overall a nice meal and tidy service.

Came out for my boyfriend’s birthday and we had the best time! We were in the corner away from the main restaurant which none of us minded as it meant we were all able to sit and catch up. The food was amazing and full of flavour! Always made to feel welcome and the girls were lovely! Will definitely be returning more!

First time customers. Booked it as was my wife's birthday and my sons GCSE results day. Starters were generously portioned. Main courses were fantastic, sauces were really tasty and both my sons loved their pizzas (which were both too big to finish so they took half each home). Drinks and meals all reasonably priced. Will definitely be going back.

Oh dear. The wait for our meal was rediculous. Arrived at 7.30 and by 9.00 still waiting. Complained and were told that they had a new Chef and offered a drink. Had to complain again before the meal finally arrived and it was a bit disappointing and not up to the standard we have previously experienced at this restaurant.If you are going to charge top price must also provide good service and you must communicate with the customer if you have a problem. We were given a discount of 10 per cent but all a bit too late

Being a huge fan of Italian food and eaten in many places in Italy I always judge a restaurant on their lasagne, sadly this fell short. A authentic lasagne is fairly dry with lots of layers of pasta, this had 1 layer if that. The meat was very tasty, but with hardly any pasta and way too much cheese it was not great. My husband had a chicken pasta which he enjoyed. The portions are huge and most people had take out boxes, especially if they had more than 1 course. I would visit again but would avoid lasagne, shame as it’s my go to dish in an Italian restaurant.

Booked for 6p.m. Shown to table and ordered drinks (medium glass of red wine and a beer) which arrived promptly. Food ordered which arrived around 6.30. Two main courses which were good sized portions. Decide to share Tiramisu. Food finished by around 7.15 and were then informed that table was required in 10-15 minutes if possible. Felt rushed but didn’t complain, finished drinks and left. Unfortunately a full stomach, especially after a creamy desert, doesn't like to be topped up with red wine. Nice food and pleasant surroundings but not a good experience overall.

We booked a table for 7, but wasn't able to be sat for 20 minutes. This was the only downside of the visit. The food was amazing, we ordered too much food and had to have a to go box, to finish the rest the following day. The staff were really friendly and polite. Prices are very good here, not too expensive but a nice feel to an authentic Italian. Would definitely arrange to go back, this is a very busy little restaurant with high demand. So book early not to miss out!!

My husband and I are here this evening while staying in the area. We were given a warm welcome and shown to our table in what was a pretty full restaurant. Service was very smooth and efficient and I asked for a tweak to a dish which our waitress said would be no problem and it wasn't. We shared two starters and were brought side plates so that we could divide them up. We were so impressed with the food that we ordered a desert to share and had the lightest home-made tiramisu I've ever had. Everything was thoroughly delicious. We were offered water for the table and received a jug of tap water (as opposed to charging for bottled water). The waiting staff checked several times that we had everything we wanted and that it was to our liking. When we asked for something it appeared quickly. Can't recommend this place highly enough.

Not sure I would come again. Food is nice. And the waitresses were friendly. However the atmosphere isn’t great. The man who I assume is the owner/manager is not welcoming. He seems overwhelmed with groups. And is visibly unhappy. He insists groups preorder food which is fine. But he does not allow you to visit the bar to order drinks and instead insists tables run a tab. 25 of us were not willing to attempt to work out drinks at the end. So were put off at being told we weren’t allowed to visit the bar. His attitude annoyed me. And when I saw him scold a waitress I was even more annoyed. Not for me. I don’t like being made to feel unwelcome or told to remain in my seat

This is easily the best Italian restaurant I have been to in the UK. From the outside, the restaurant does not look like much, but inside is lovely. The food is amazing - I had the whitebait to start, followed by linguini carbonara, and a chocolate brownie. The portion sizes are very generous, particularly the pasta, which was undoubtedly the best carbonara I have ever tasted. Looking forward to visiting again!

Everything was excellent. The minute we walked in we felt very comfortable, the decor and layout was well designed. I haven't been in these premises for about 25-30 years so the change was considerable. The food was very nice and the staff backed up the quality with a very welcoming service. We were celebrating our anniversary and chose the right place. Definitely go back and would definitely recommend a visit. Thanks for making our day a special memory.

We went on a quiet early evening mid week. The restaurant was clean and well presented. You could tell that the owners had thought carefully about the décor, even down to the fresh flowers at each table. We were seated quickly as we had pre booked a table, and the waitress was attentive and friendly to our needs. We decided against the wine list and went for the tap water instead that was chilled and had fresh lemon, which was a nice touch. The food portions were generous, and the quality of the food was excellent! Everything was presented well and tasted fresh and delicious. This was a lovely spot for a romantic meal and would be a great place to have dinner with friends too. We will definitely return. It was authentically Italian and really enjoyable.

A beautiful cosy restaurant with delicious food. The garlic bread was a full 9 inch pizza 🍕 😋 completely surprised us however it was so good, nice thin base, perfect dough crust and boy was it garlic. Also garlic mushrooms for starter. Massive portion sizes so we ended up taken leftovers which were just as good the next day reheated. Definitely worth a visit and one of the only place we could find still open late on a Sunday for dine in. Staff were terrific also.
