Very packed tables are too close as though they seem a bit desperate no space for a conversation. Very dim lighted. Bit depressing for a meal out when having to spend so much money on basics. Food is very bland not many spices I had to ask for more (that i was charged for). Wouldn't recommend. If you have money to waste its a nice fast food place otherwise don't expect anything special. Not child friendly. Also says they close by 9 sometimes 10 although my friend went at 19:45 and it was closed with a singular man smoking outside. Dissappointed unfortunately. Since the owner has replied accusing me of lying I was just giving a review of my experience and this goes to show how customers will be treated at this establishment. I think the owners words speak for themselves. Again this owner is making me feel extremely uncomfortable making terrible accusations about me because he can not own up to the truth. I have no need to send anybody there at all and it is true my friend was there at 19.45 and it was closed with staff smoking outside on tables. The reason I have said it is not child friendly as it is very dim cluttered and tables are extremely close together very crammed. As for take away and delivery food is always spilled and bag ripped. I hope this owner now stops throwing accusations around only because I put a review and just takes it and makes changes . I hope nobody else will have to deal with this. It can really cause peoples mental health to stoop being treated like that .

My friend and I were searching for a great dinner spot that was open on the bank holiday, and we're so glad we discovered this place! The staff was wonderful, the service was efficient, and the meals we ordered were absolutely outstanding. It was one of the best dinners we've had so far on our trip! Judging by the menu, I don't think you could go wrong with any dish here.

Am always impressed with the Manager (or may be the Owner, not sure). He is so personable and appears very committed to gaining honest feedback on the food. The food was genuinely outstanding, as a group we all ordered different starters and mains and every one of them was excellent. I cannot find fault with any aspect and it will continue to be my restaurant of choice for any occasion. Thank you 😊

Although it was a quiet time when we visited Papi's, we still had a lovely time. The welcome was warm & and friendly, and the service throughout was first class, especially when they found out that we were there to celebrate a birthday. Couldn't fault any of the dishes, all presented nicely and in good time. All amenities as you would expect with hot water and soap plus accessibility for the disabled. Thank you for a great 3 hr experience, and already we have recommended the restaurant to family. I'm absolutely sure that we will be coming back.

Very good restaurant in center of Caldicot. Wife and son always go for the Calzone. I have had the Ravioli, Calzone and a Pizza. All very tasty and no complaints, although for me the portion size of the Ravioli was not enough, that is a me problem not a dish or restaurant problem. We have eaten in, and had something delivered, no issues with any of it. We will be back, and I recommend everybody to try it.

Very good menu, pricing and availability early on a Sunday. A great impromptu birthday dinner!

Pizza was superior to Domino's, but the praise unfortunately ends there. The bacon and ham were excessively salty even for bacon and ham, and the chicken was unseasoned, so tasted of nothing alongside it. The base and crust were quite generic and lacking flavour, but were well cooked enough not to be soggy. I probably wouldn't order from here again, so my quest for a good pizza in the Caldicot area continues.

A gem in Caldicot! Visited the place for sunday lunch, can get packed quite quick so do recommend to come by early or make a reservation. There are lots of selection in the menu plus the sunday roast option every suncday. We had the most beautiful calamari in my life, with a light and not oily batter that is similar to the way they do calamari in Greece. The mains were perfectly flavoured and the sweets were just a perfect conclusion to a good meal. They had pistachio profiteroles, and ofcourse tiramisu both of which I highly recommend!

The venue itself is lovely, offering outstanding views of the river and a warm, welcoming atmosphere upon entry. The staff are friendly and attentive, with plenty of smiles, which adds to the overall experience. Unfortunately, the food falls short of expectations and feels overpriced for the quality provided. While I’m happy to pay more for good food, I expect it to deliver on flavor and value. The seafood pizza, which I’ve tried twice (hoping for improvement), was bland and rubbery, far from the standard I’ve enjoyed in other Italian restaurants or in Italy itself. My wife’s lamb shank was similarly underwhelming, lacking flavor. Desserts were another letdown—particularly the tiramisu, which was heavy on cream and light on the coffee-soaked biscuits, making it a far cry from the authentic Italian version. While the meatballs were enjoyable, the sauce was again bland, and the portion was unbalanced, with too much dry pasta and too few meatballs. Overall, while the venue is charming, the food lacks the freshness and vibrancy you’d expect from Italian cuisine. It’s a disappointing contrast to the beautiful setting.
