What can I say? 5 stars for a place I went to from reading previous good reviews, I was staying close by so thought I'd give it a try, excellent food and drinks, excellent service and hospitality, and excellent prices, in fact enjoyed it so much went back again the same day, great Sicilian hospitality.

There is no ifs, buts, or maybes here, we talk in absolutes: by far the best Italian meal I have had in years. And to note, I was in Rome last month! My wife, who is of Calabrese descent, wholeheartedly agrees! Bravo! Excellent food, excellent service! 🙌😊

We were in Liverpool this morning heading towards the docks and I fancied a coffee, we passed a couple of very busy looking shops and then happened to walk past Carlisli which looked nice and quiet. We popped in and wow, what a gem of a place, perfect hospitality, excellent coffee (good range of plant based milk) and my teenage son had a hot chocolate he said was amazing and a croissant that was almost the size of his head! Very reasonable pricing (was £11 for two hot drinks and a giant croissant with jam!) Service was amazing and we will definitely return when in the area again.

This place is a great little hidden gem! Stopped here for lunch with my partner and ordered both the parma ham and spicy Italian calabrese to share between us. Sandwiches are slightly expensive however you’re paying for proper ingredients. Everything about the sandwich was amazing, very rich flavours which are balanced perfectly. Definitely recommend this place. I’ll be back to try some of the other things on their menu! (Sandwich does come with salad but I had already eaten it before taking the picture)

Good food at an excellent price is unfortunately stained by incredibly poor service. A group of 5 must wait over 45 minutes to receive food, my salad was sat on the counter for 30 minutes before being delivered. The waitress was impatient and impolite despite the small restaurant being relatively empty and took our drinks before we had finished. The staff failed to replace a fork that had fallen on the floor, there were a lot of small flies, concerning as the kitchen is open to the rest of the restaurant. I have been a few times but this will be my last.

Food is great but is not possible that everytime I book I need to wait at least 20 minutes for my table. Already happened three time. If you can't make sure you have the table you shouldn't take bookings. I had a reservation for ,8pm yesterday. I arrived and the guy told me gonna be 5/10 minutes,I said okay. Walk back in at 8.15 and the owner told me to wait other 15 minutes. If I book the table at 8 I don't want the table at 8.30. my friends had a train to catch so we had to leave and find somewhere else. The place is nice and food is great but this thing already happened 3 times and is not okay, because in this case just don't let people book . You should reserve the table for people who booked,no giving it to someone else and expect them to leave soon.

Fresh produce and the most delicious meats and cheese platters. Everything was perfect. The selection of items on the board is excellent. The bella di cerigonola olives are huge and delicious.  All beautifully presented too. Plenty of drink options and I loved the spicy callente cocktail.  You must try it. Breakfast was good,  bacon and pork belly on waffles. Excellent black coffee. Just wish we lived closer as it would certainly be a place we'd visit time and time again.

What a relief to know that Dantonio is back. Since the Met Quarter shut the upper floor he had to close ..... but he is back in the central space on the ground floor .... still producing that amazing coffee of his with cakes and light snacks. He is hoping in a few months time to be able to get a proper coffee shop lot again when one becomes free on the Met Quarter's ground floor. He is such a nice guy as well
