We ordered 5 different dishes. The prices were slightly higher but the choice of food was really impressive. My beef ragu was lovely. Selection of wine was great too. The only down side is we waited around 30-35 minutes for food, and it was not busy (5pm).

Another brilliant visit. Very welcoming and made to feel at ease. As a person dinning alone it was very reassuring. The lady with blond hair and glasses was so enjoyable to watch. She is clearly a major asset to the team. All the staff were brilliant. The food was amazing as ever. Definitely be back on our next trip to Whitby.

Great Italian food, good value but at busy times it can get very slow. Its typical Italian very busy quite noisy with all the chatter. The food is amazing and we went twice in the week it was that good. When they are busy it can be an hour between your starter things been taken and the main meal arriving. We lost patience with deserts as breatkfast may have come first.

We are on a break in Whitby and actually went to Cosa Nostra twice - once for dinner and once for lunch. The food is absolutely amazing and the staff are friendly but low key. We loved the whole experience and will be back next time we are in Whitby.

Drinks served without coasters onto plastic topped tables, meaning cold drinks gather pools of condensation, which then drip as you sip. Lasagne was served lukewarm and the pasta dish was dry as hell. Server did not mention that specials were available. Not recommended.

We had a really lovely meal here on a Sunday afternoon. Our waitress was so sweet and made sure we had everything we needed, she was very attentive. Lovely setting with only a couple of other people eating. We had bruschetta and caprese salad to start and seafood linguine and ravioli all washed down with a nice bottle of red. Food very good. Would return and would recommend.

Food was nice and fresh but not outstanding. I had lasagne which was packed with meat but the sauce around it was just like tomatoes without any flavour, as this is Italian I'd have expected rich deep flavour from it so a little disappointed 😞 sorry Great service though and friendly staff

The waitresses near the top was fantastic, couldn't fault them. Drinks: only have 1 cider so didn't bother with an alcoholic drink as it just catered to wine drinkers. Food: had garlic bread to start. Shared between two ,the portion was fantastic, however the it didn't taste of garlic with each slice. Had prosciutto pizza for main. Bit skimpy on the prosciutto considering the extensive price. The sauce was also a bit sharp and the cheese wasn't very nice (was meant to be mozzerala). Partner loved his. Overall staff are great but food could do with improvement considering how expensive it is.

Lovely staff, went above and beyond and super friendly. The food was ok, we all had pizzas - they were nice but a little tight on the toppings! We did enjoy the Parmesan fries they were yummy. Disappointed at the pudding menu - not a lot of inspiration! The actual building is beautiful and the toilets very clean. Overall a fairly nice meal and nice to have something other than fish and chips in Whitby.

Visited here last night after seeing it was highly rated! The staff were lovely & accommodating ☺️ the garlic bread to start was great 👌🏻 however me & my partner both had the beef shin ragu in a red wine jus which I was soo looking forward to- I had with gnocci and he had with tagliatelle however it lacked flavour and felt more of a tomato sauce than a ragu/jus which was a little disappointing. However I would go again just maybe get a different dish

Avoid. Been twice now over the last couple of years and terrible both times- was hoping the first time was a blip, the worst pizza ever- rock hard, dry base. Obviously won’t be going again but luckily there are lots of other fab places to eat in Whitby.

Had a takeaway pizza -I was charged £1.10 extra for the box, an absolute disgrace. Unfortunately I only saw it afterwards and no one said anything about it -the pizza was completely burnt on the bottom -the dough was 0.0% fluffy and hard as a board -nothing special, no recommendation

Went yesterday whilst we are in Whitby for a few days. It came highly recommended in our apartment’s guest book. So glad we went as the staff are absolutely lovely and charming (also brilliant with the children) and the food and drink was superb. Our children (4 and 8) enjoyed the bambino pizza and the penne pomodoro. My lasagne was delicious and the husband had a lovely meatball starter and the tagliatelle ragu. Highly recommend the cheesy garlic bread starter too. In terms of wine, we enjoyed the primitivo.

Me and my cousin have visited Whitby nearly every year, and we always book here for our evening meal. We usually are never disappointed but unfortunately we were lastnight. We havent been for a few years and within that time the menu has changed, there was a very limited choice and the prices have gone alot higher! I paid £16.99 for a basic vegetarian pizza. After our experience i dont think we would return again. On a positive note the staff were amazing, welcoming and friendly and the restaurant is still a beautiful place to eat!

Very nice place In the center of Whitby, friendliness is at home. The place is really nice. We took three pizzas, nothing to say about the appearance or taste, good for being in England, but the pizza dough was not cooked well, it was elastic, really a shame considering the rest. Let's hope it happened only this time because it would be a shame to enjoy Italian pizza in an Italian restaurant abroad, especially given the prices offered, which are quite high.

A very disappointing and uninspiring menu, extremely bland compared with other Italian restaurants I've visited. To cap it all my dining companion was very unwell later that evening and the next morning due to the chicken on the pizza. Hence we had to shorten our time away and head home. The restaurant was empty when we arrived and the table we were seated at had a broken chair which I changed myself??

The girls were given really good activity sheets and a case of felt pens a good change from a four pack of crayons.

Booked here under recommendation from a family member, quite late at 8.45pm but that's all they had available when booking. We were seated up on the mezzanine near the top of the stairs which gave us a nice view down into the main restaurant. We had a bottle of red wine which was about the price you'd expect. My wife had the balsamic and oil with bread and I had the garlic mushrooms for starter, the mushrooms were lovely and came with a nice big crust of bread which was lovely to dip in the juice. I chose the lamb for my main, my wife had the seafood linguini. She really enjoyed the linguini and couldn't quite finish the whole dish. My lamb was nice and some of the roasted vegetables that came with it really complimented the lamb, but the aubergine tasted a bit odd due to the mint sauce. The service was good even though the restaurant was very busy. The atmosphere was generally good but a disappointing situation evolved due to a family being exceptionally loud. The table seated close to them asked for them to try to be a little quieter to which they got the hump, now I could understand that, butit was almost like a shouting competition and other drivers were being affected by this. After the guy nearest to them paid the bill, two of the members from the family followed him and his partner to the exit and made a scene. Perhaps he should of asked the staff to deal with the noise, but they are young so he Perhaps thought it better to try to be civilised. Shame the family could see that. Overall, the food is pretty good, the service is good and without the situation the atmosphere would have been good. I've had better italian food, but it wasn't bad I wouldn't rush to go back

Decided to call in for a cup of tea as it looked quite cute and appealing. How wrong we were! The woman serving was very unprofessional and not making people very welcome apart from the shady undesirable looking locals at the reserved table. She was openly talking about customers when they were sitting outside and talking about passers by. At one point stating I am in the wrong business as I’m not a people person. We did agree on that. She is rude and very disrespectful for a business owner never mind a lady !! Give it a miss and go to the very cute friendly places along bar street towards town
