We decided to have lunch here today. The food was delicious, I had the lasagne my husband had chicken rigatoni. Sat by the window but had a cool breeze, still enjoyed eating there. Staff good.

Lovely food but we were surrounded by dogs. One dog wee'd on the restaurant floor while another was barking throughout our meal. Very off putting and unhygienic and disgusting.

Very average Italian food! Far from authentic, food was okay but not amazing. We just found everything to be quite lack luster to be honest, especially for the price point. We’ve had much better. Excellent views though and friendly service from the staff!

OK, so this is not a traditional Italian trattoria but the food is very good, the service friendly and attentive, and the location top notch. We visited outside school holiday time so Padstow itself was lovely and quiet. This meant the staff could be attentive and the food came in good time, and was hot and fresh. I'd recommend this restaurant.

Lovely location but the food is AWFUL! Microwaved starters of mushrooms and chorizo. The restaurant was dead and could hear the microwave pinging. Starter’s were so disappointing! Main course of steak that was ridiculously over salted, my husband had the gnocchi which was overdone. I told the waitress at the end who was very apologetic. I could see that she passed the comment onto the chef who stood there shaking his head. Such a shame as it is a beautiful setting but there is zero effort put into food. Would not recommend!

My wife and I had dinner here this evening and it was really very good. The staff where very welcoming and showed us to a table overlooking the harbour. Plenty to choose from on the menu , Frito Misto as a first course followed by two amazing pasta dishes for main course. We have eaten in most Padstow restaurants and this one twice this year and have no hesitation in recommending it. Can’t wait to go back.

SERVICE IS RUBBISH. DO NOT RECOMMEND. Firstly walked into no welcome or greeting just got told they will be with us in a minute, after waiting for 5 minutes we just got told to choose our own table to sit at, we asked to change to a different table near the window before we had ordered anything because the table had become available, and the waitress made us seem like we was asking for a lot and was making us feel like a problem and said that it was really stressful and hard for them, however there was no speed in anything and none of the staff seemed to care about the service and didn’t have a good attitude to bring to the restaurant. Considering we had just got there there was no effort to make us feel welcomed, waiters obviously had no communication between each other because they came and asked for our food order before they had taken our drinks, we then moved table but got given the wrong drink order but had waited long enough already so didn’t want to ask for the correct drink to wait another 10 mins for it to be brung to us. By this point we was questioning whether to leave or not. Waited another 20 minutes for our food order to be taken but when the waiter came over he didn’t even listen to what we said and just looked around unbothered. While we’re waiting for our food other customers are talking to each other complaining about the service and food it didn’t seem like anyone was impressed. Food came out faster then the drinks however my mum asked for a Medium cooked steak and it may aswell of been rare and was bloody, her tomatoes were also supposed to be “roasted” however were just warm and hard my chicken was dry and without the sauce wouldn’t be pleasant after eating my stomach felt unwell. Apart from the mains our sides of potatoes and a salad were quite nice. But while we were eating our correct drink order came to the table and we had to send it away as we didn’t want to get charged anymore money at a disappointing restaurant so asked for some water however it never showed so asked again and only got brung ice and glasses 10 minutes later with no water. Our plates got left on our tables for a while along with a lot of other people’s the man beside us had kids and i would not recommend bringing kids here as theres long waiting periods for everything and even we was getting impatient i can’t imagine how they felt. And because of this didn’t get deserts as we was fed up of waiting (they also didn’t come to ask if we wanted any deserts so i had to go get a menu off another table myself). I’ve never wrote a review but it was so terrible here i felt as though i had to and after reading the reviews it obviously wasn’t just a one time thing. We did not check the bill before paying but i’ve seen people saying they were over charged so will be looking tomorrow. Just want to add in don’t sit near the toilets as you can hear the hand drier.

Me and my husband can’t stop coming back… it’s our favourite place to eat in padstow. We came for dinner last night, breakfast this morning then lunch this afternoon. He has the “porcelli” pizza, he says it’s the best pizza he’s ever tasted, it’s a meatier pizza option for meat lovers. I myself have the Pomodoro vegetarian pasta every time, it’s simple but so tasty. It’s hard to find good pasta around but I love the pasta here. Also the portions are decent. And just an add on, the fries are really good. Location wise is perfect, the balcony over looks the harbour, by far the best eating spot in padstow.

Not a great experience at all. The staff took 15 minutes to take a drinks order, our drinks arrived after our starter and were wrong. For our main course my partner ordered the lasagne, which had obviously been frozen (evident by the amount of water in the dish and when cut into the lasagne sunk into a swampy mess), he found a piece of paper in the middle. No one came to check the food was ok so we spent a fair while trying to get the attention of either of the waiting staff. After we drew attention of the waiter, he offered my partner a replacement which he did not want (given the lasagne was watery and contained more mushroom than mince in the filling) and then asked what he wanted to do, did not offer a refund until we asked for it. The waiter then left the plate on the table for five minutes by which point I was done with the fairly sub par flavourless chicken pasta I had ordered which was overcooked, grey and lacked sauce. It took a further 15 minutes for anyone to come and speak to us at which point we were pushed towards having a dessert which we stated multiple times we did not want. When the bill did arrive the lasagne was still listed, this was corrected but over the whole order there was no apology and it came accross as though neither of the floor waiting staff wanted to be there or cared. Such a shame as we first went in April and had  lovely meal, and given the cost of eating out it is not something we are able to do regularly so to have such a bad meal was disappointing to say the least.

A perfectly good Italian restaurant, if you have never been to a good Italian restaurant. Pleasant upstairs setting overlooking the harbour. No bookings taken so you turn up and wait. Service was pleasant, friendly but rushed - felt like there was a target to have diners leave within an hour or so. Everyone was in a hurry. Starters of mussels and ciabata ai funghi were fresh and good. Prawns in a tomato, parmesan and cream sauce was a rich tasting and generous main course but the sauce was thin and dribbly. The chicken and mushroom tagliatelle contained overcooked and dry chicken, overcooked pasta and not enough sauce. The ice cream was average. The lemon torte tasted OK and might have been fresh yesterday. The Terazzo Falangina was very good - a second bottle had not been chilled and was sent back to be replaced. I think this is a restaurant that is aimed at holidaymakers and is not concerned to attract regular customers. Three courses for two people with two bottles of wine came to £127 without service - average for Padstow (where there are lots of other restaurants).

Good atmosphere, friendly staff, but the pesto pasta had hardly any sauce and tasted like pasta water. The pasta wasn't coated in anything, there was some pesto oil at the bottom of the dish but not enough to coat the pasta with, and the dish was overall very tastless, my partners tomato pasta dish also came with hardly any sauce. I would've ordered, and happily paid for something else, but the staff didn't come over to ask how it was. When i left the dish, aside from 4 pieces of pasta and the veg that came with it, I was surprised they once again didn't ask how it was, or if anything was wrong with it. I would've ordered a pizza to go but the staff took the plates away and came back with the bill so sharpish I didn't bother. The olives come sitting in oil, which is not to everyone's taste and the cheesy garlic bread was very greesy. I wouldn't eat pasta here again, but the pizza they did looked amazing so maybe worth a shot!

If you like chips, burgers, pizza, or seafood, Padstow has you well covered. If you’re tastes lean towards Italian on the day, then there are fewer choices. When looking for a place to eat during the ‘between times’ when the café’s close and the restaurants reopen, we happened upon Pucelli’s. This Italian restaurant, located on the first floor overlooking the harbour, didn’t feature chips as its main fare. Winner, or so we thought. First the good stuff. The room was nicely decorated and well laid out. The view over the harbour was nice and the staff were friendly and efficient. However, the food was very bland! My wife had the special, which wasn’t very special; she left half of it and ate some of mine. It felt like both meals had only been ‘shown’ the garlic. Why are many Italian eateries so afraid of offending English sensibilities by not being liberal with the flavourings?! Overall we were left very underwhelmed. May as well had a bag of chips, at least they’re usually not disappointing. The prices? On a par with the rest of Padstow-upon-Thames. A small town, heaving with people, and geared to the affluent south-east set. Poor people seem not welcome. At the least the whippy ice cream from elsewhere around the harbour was epic!

Pucelli’s is positioned in a great location on the harbour front with excellent views. We sat by the window looking out. The restaurant looked clean, well set out and had all the signs of a good restaurant. Unfortunately the foundations of an Italian restaurant aren’t there. If you offer Italian cuisine, you must be able to make the basics, such as pizza. The pizza base was a thin crust but not sourdough as you’d expect from an Italian. Putting balsamic vinegar on a pizza is a big no. The pizza was overwhelmed with toppings, giving it a soggy middle. It was apparent the ingredients weren’t fresh. Perhaps a reduction in the size of the menu would enable the restaurant to buy in fresh produce. It was peak lunch hour on a Friday and considering the location of the restaurant, the footfall was alarmingly low. With this in mind I would have expected the service to be somewhat better, the staff were all nice people but we’re not attentive. There were 5 waiters behind the bar resulting in us having go up to settle the bill and leave - whilst the food was still on our table. This restaurant has the bones to be a real cash cow but fails with the basics.

Lovely little place. After a lovely family walk, we all decided to go for an Italian, so we picked Pucelli's. We had medium sized family lunch with some pizzas, pastas and burgers on the menu. The atmosphere was lovely, staff really friendly. Then when it comes to the food, there is place for improvements. I'm not an Italian, but I can make way better pizzas. The pizza dough wasn't enjoyable, it was soggy and didn't have any authentic pizza taste. The pasta, according to my wife was absolutely lovely. The burgers, well they might look great, but taste wise wasn't so great. Burger pattie was a bit tasteless and the chips (french fries) were fried in burnt oil I would think so. A 'burger king' tastes much better to be honest. Even though I'm not an eater of fast foods. This said, I think the overall experience was decent. Being an Italian restaurant, the atmosphere and the location tops up the disappointment and the overall experience.

We've stayed in Padstow before so we knew that you couldn't book. We got there for about 18.30 and there were 3 groups ahead of uf us. We got a table within about about 15 minutes, so not too bad. When we left at about 20.00, the queue was down the stairs and out the door, so a much longer wait. The menu is obviously Italian but does cater for the burger lover. Gluten Free options were available on request. The staff are very friendly, attentive and cheerful, even when it was really busy. The food was great, very tasty and generous portion size. There were five of us and our two course meal with a couple of rounds of drinks was about £170, so a little more than we'd usually pay, but then it is Padstow 🤣

Unclear info - unlike the rest of Padstow this is one of the very few restaurants that isn’t dog friendly which is a real shame but their prerogative. What was frustrating is that I had looked beforehand on their website and couldn’t find any info about this, tried to ring to get no answer and then when we tried to visit, we were turned away as we had a dog and rudely told that there was a sign outside stating this, which there wasn’t (we checked multiple times).

Have eaten in most of the restaurants in Padstow and surrounding area and thought we would give Pucelli’s a try. Staff very friendly on arrival and shown to a lovely table overlooking the harbour, drinks order taken and delivered quickly to our table. The pasta...

Sea bass undercooked. Chicken over cooked. Can only buy sweet rose by the glass. Pinot Grigio blush is available but only by the bottle. Sticky condiments and the waitress from the school of Fawlty Towers. Won’t be returning.

The tomato sauce of linguine alla marinara I ordered was too watery and the mussels, prawns and octopus were so small that I wondered whether they were juveniles that law prohibited them from being fished. Overall, not a dish I would recommend.

Food was very good, recommended. Staff were efficient, but not particularly friendly. The whole experience was ruined by a French lady in a business meeting on her iPad two tables away. For our whole lunch we were treated to her yacking away loudly, non stop. We won't be returning.

WORST SERVICE EVER. The pictures of the food were not what came out. The atmosphere was unwelcoming and hostile. The view was okay but the service is what made this a no go recommendation to anyone thinking of eating here. The staff were rude and unapologetic when they tried overcharging for a very simple bill. They then laughed at our group in our face for saying we didn’t appreciate the way we’d been spoken to. Worst service I have ever had at a restaurant. I have never left a review for a place before but for this place it felt necessary. NEVER GO HERE PLEASE

My partner and I had dinner here last night. All seemed fine until we were half way through our main, (Spaghetti Carbonara) we started feeling very unwell, however mistakenly thought it was just because we were full. When we got home my partner was terribly sick and it had the same awful effect on me.. we hadn’t eaten anything else that day together. It was definitely food poisoning from the food we had at this restaurant. Can I also add that the Carbonara was on the specials board and should have come with pancetta but it was clearly served to us with bacon instead. The bacon did have an unusual taste. I hope this is taken seriously and the kitchen staff take steps so this is prevented from ever happening again.

Would've been ok had the waiter not tipped a full bottle ofLager over my wife, ok accidents happen but on checking bank statement the meal came to £96 for a pizza, bowl of pasta and a fish, fair enough, bit pricey but that seems to be the trend in Padstow, then noticed a further payment of £9.60 im assuming they rewarded themselves a tip no mention of free drinks for soaking my wifes dress which left me a further £26 for dry cleaning. Poor show, customers are not just pound notes, For the true dining experience with class try the mariners, amazing place that worked out cheaper.

If I could give 0 stars, I would. We have been here 5 years ago and we were impressed. However, today was a disaster. Restaurant was very busy. Staff were a bit clueless and running around trying to cater for everyone but seemed very unexperienced. All three plates we ordered (carbonara, linguine marinara mad kids margarita) were awful. And to be charged £60 for that kind of quality… Never going back!

Great friendly service. Only had pizzas and a few of the antipasti but all were very nice. Kids meals also good. We couldn’t book on this visit, so we arrived early and were seated immediately. Location is obviously spot on for exploring Padstow.

Although we both enjoyed a huge portion of pasta the starters were really expensive for the quality of the food. 4 prawns in oil and tomatoes and a few tempura vegetables cost over £20 really!
