Authentic tasting Italian food cooked to order in the kitchen. Disappointed by the waiter service which was slow, this a quiet Saturday afternoon. But that aside the food was great really enjoyed the seafood linguine.

Amazing restaurant, we have been there several time, our kids love to go there... family environment, very friendly and the service is amazing, all who works there are very good people. The New Year party was absolutely fun and perfect, we took our family from Panama and they enjoyed a lot, food, music, and people excellent.

A really fantastic choice of restaurant. Really great venue - looks lovely, great atmosphere, staff were really friendly, service was superb and the food was fantastic. With the choice of Zizzi's, Prezzo and Pizza Express within a minutes walk, we made the best choice. Starters of sardines, calamari, the floatiest garlic bread and my choice of goats cheese was fantastic. Mains + such a wide choice - I'd never tried veal before and the veal escalope Saltimbocca was just so tasty. We were absolutely full up before we got to deserts, but still managed to fit in some lovely affigato and sorbets. Just lovely and will be going back again.

I ordered a Rigatoni Sicily pasta. The aubergine was not cooked properly. Bruschetta was served with hard tomatoes. It feels like amateurs cooking Italian food. Overpriced for the quality of food offered.

I was very disappointed, myself and my wife wanted a quiet meal, unfortunately there was a table of 6 to 8 women who were very loud and the language used was disgusting, in addition to this two of the women were vaping and the smell of the contents could be smelt throughout the restaurant. At no time were they asked to respect other users and it will be a long time before we use the restaurant again. The meal was not great and my wife's food was warm at best, considering we spent £140 this was not good value for the money. Even the waiter said he was surprised we stayed as long as we did when I was paying the bill.

I held a dinner for 46 people at Ciao Italia at the weekend, and it went superbly well, from start (meaning the planning) to the finish. The service was attentive without being intrusive, the food was delicious and the atmosphere almost perfect. "Almost", because if we do it again, we will give more thought to the acoustics and table layout, as the ambient noise level meant that, as one of our guests put it, Brian Blessed in full flow would have struggled to make himself heard.

One cannot visit an Italian restaurant without trying pizza, and Ciao Italia certainly knows how to make a stellar one. I ordered the Margherita pizza, and it was a masterpiece. The crust was thin and crispy, the tomato sauce was vibrant and tangy, and the melted mozzarella cheese was simply divine. It was a true taste of Italy in every bite.

Wake Manager of Ciao Italia took 2 weeks to get back to me when I requested a quote. Had to chase. Manager then sent me an exorbitant quote from a ‘cafe’ email for afternoon tea. I replied requesting to reduce the quantity and the alcohol. I didn’t receive a reply. Manager went on holiday. The food was clearly from an outside caterer. Far too much food, endless jugs of alcohol, glass cups with hot water with tea bags next to them for cups of tea. Forced to pay huge bill by staff at end of the wake for my mother. Staff claimed they had not received my email requesting less. Afterwards eventually manager admitted that she had sent the quote from the wrong email and had never received my request to reduce the order. Took over a month to give me a very limited refund. Apparently this restaurant do lots of wakes. I feel totally taken advantage off and ripped off. Made a stressful and upsetting day even worse.

We visited the 'Ciao Italia' restuarant recently for the first time with friends and have to say what an amazing experience it was. The interior is very large and well designed and makes visiting a pleasant experience. The staff on hand can't do enough for you and raise the bar of customer service to a new level. We had the prawn cocktails for starters which were declicious and to follow 2, Pollo Crema Funghi, a dover sole and a sirloin steak which were all extremely tasty. This was washed down with an excellent bottle of Malbec Nieto Senetin which was glorious. To follow had the icecreams, cheese cake and Tiramasu which all very enjoyable and complemented by Liquer coffees. It was a wonderful experience and can't wait to come back!.

Planned my parents wedding anniversary here with the amazing help of Ilia. He was so accommodating from the very first day we met with him to discuss the plan and gave us ideas we didn't even think of. On the day, everything was so organised and perfect, from the food, the service and the overall atmosphere of the event. Cannot thank Ilia and the team enough for their great service, food and hospitality. No request was too much. I would plan another occasion here in a heartbeat. Thanks again Ciao Italia!

The restaurant is beautiful and laid out very nicely with outside dining that’s not roadside. The surf and turf was also very tasty. The let downs are for a £35 surf and turf I anticipated much more in terms of quantity. The service was also, dare I say it, rude. Perhaps it’s because we’re not regulars… should this make a difference? We didn’t order desert. We paid our forced 10% service charge begrudgingly and made for Tesco to pick up an ice cream! Such a shame.

Popular destination on a Saturday night, and restaurant has pleasing decor which is likely to be admired by your friends. There is a public car park behind the shops on the other side of the road, so parking isn't an issue. Definitely worth a visit if you haven't sampled this family run restaurant yet!

The food was tasty but unfortunately for us the experience was ruined a little bit by the fact it took us nearly an hour and a half just to get our starters. Overall we had 2 courses and 1 drink each and it cost us £86 - so a little overpriced for what we got. The waiters were friendly but they were clearly understaffed for the amount of customers there! Not sure I would go back due to the disappointing experience.
