Best coffee place in Northamptonshire!

We booked for my partner’s birthday and it was the best tasting Italian meal we’ve ever had. It was a set menu for New Year’s Eve. we had the prawns to start with, and I had the chicken and my partner had pasta with sausage with a complimentary bottle of Prosecco. I can recommend this restaurant to anyone that wants good service with quality food and not a bad price with a great atmosphere

A top notch excellent restaurant & one of the best I have been to in this town. Whilst they specialise in Italian cuisine, they have lots of other foodie options available. Drinks are also great and they don't skimp on the quality of the cocktails. Highly recommended! Go there!

No doubt the best pizza in Northampton. Very friendly delivery.

Lovely meal for our daughter's birthday. Tasty food and generous portions. Service was warm and welcoming...I can see why my daughter likes it here so much!

Thank you to Ellen and her team for hosting my daughters 8th birthday. Fantastic, kid friendly experience. Good value for money. Would definitely recommend.

Good service from the server very insightful about the menu! The food was very good I had the carbonara it was better than I expected. The cocktail I had was from the Christmas cocktail list and it was delightful. Great selection of gluten free dishes also. Will be returning and highly recommend

An anniversary meal and chose what WAS a great restaurant The text sent the dat before stating that had to reply with name number and time of booking made over a week ago as it would not be confirmed till this detail was given. Welcome was not what had previously experienced there and not given a great table. Had to ask one of the four waitresses if we could order a drink 10 minutes after being sat down - wouldn’t have minded but there were only 3 other tables occupied. Ordered starter without ‘peppers’ I had to explain to the waitress what peppers were as in “bell peppers, the green, red, yellow, orange ones- bit worrying really was not asked if we had any allergies which was surprising as this is a repeated question you’re asked nowadays. After and hour of arriving for our reservation, ordering and finishing our starter the main came. My wife ordered smoked salmon and pasta, what arrived was cooked salmon in the pasta not smoked a totally different taste and flavour. I asked to check the menu and smoked was stated, we explained this to who appeared to be the head waitress, who could not comprehend the difference in cooked or smoked, no apology or explanation was given and we were only asked to reselect, lasagna was asked for. I had ordered and had a lovely veal Milanese, with salad, which I finished, my wife asked that hers now be cancelled as would not want to eat on her own as I was finished, minutes later a lasagne arrived this was duly returned and the bill asked for. Very unprofessional No apology Poor service A total and unfortunate change and a restaurant I will not voluntarily go to again Times are a changing and this is a shamefully wrong direction

A non rushed experience, which was nice. Very vague description on the menu. Polite waitress. Ridiculously overpriced wine, which is currently £7.00 per bottle in Tesco. I was flabbergasted to be charged £54.90. Shall not return nor recommend

This restaurant is just a very short walk from the Royal and Derngate theatre so well positioned for refreshments pre and post shows. We booked a table online - approx two hours before we needed it - so that we had a guaranteed spot pre-theatre. Turned up approx. 20 mins early and were taken to our seats. It's a nicely laid out restaurant where many of the tables at the front can see the food being prepared and the pizzas in the pizza oven. It was a couple of days after Christmas and the place was quiet when we sat down but much busier when we left. We had three courses and most of it was very well received. The deep fried mozzarella was lovely as was the calamari (although the portion was bit stingy for the price). Mains followed - lasagna (no garlic bread included), pepperoni pizza and a child's meal (pizza also). Very nice and all tasty. One of us (me) also had the Pesto Gnocchi. I first tried gnocchi in Milan and it was heavenly ... I don't know if I've been spoiled or if I'm mis-remembering but this version, while pleasant, was nothing like the Milan version. I wouldn't have it again (from here), although I did finish it all on the night. Gelatos to follow were standard fayre but nice, nonetheless. The bill (inc the discretionary service charge) was c£110 for four us. Interestingly (and a welcome surprise). the server who came to take our payment offered, immediately, to remove the service charge if we would so wish. Normally, I insist on these discretionary service charges being removed - if we all allow it, it will continue to exist. However, I was so enamoured by this approach (and it was Christmas) that I allowed it remain and I paid it (although I did not leave anything additional). I wonder if that approach sees more people accept the imposition of the service tax. I won't be so soft, next time. :-)

Absolutely shocking service. Waitress put through starter wrong, then supervisor made out like it was my fault because the menu had changed and I hadn’t specified the size of the garlic bread we wanted- umm maybe the waitress should have asked. Mains came out, one carbonara was very chewy chicken, spat out most of the 6 mouthfuls eaten. On asking supervisor to take it off the bill, she stated it could be replaced without the chicken or would take half off the meal as she had already eaten it. On speaking to another supervisor she stated no manager on site, although I knew the manager was I know who the manager is. She was stood at the food deck speaking to her. On the supervisors return to me after speaking to the said manager she told me she could take my details and the manager would investigate it when in, all whilst I was watching her. I asked how exactly they would investigate the meal when it had already been taken away and put in a bin, TOMORROW!! Bill comes out and both garlic breads on the bill and two lots of cheese charged. Small discount taken off not totalling the full garlic breads. I again asked for them to sort the bill for the messed up garlic breads as wrong. They still refused to take off the carbonara as 6 mouthfuls had been eaten! On speaking to the first supervisor, I told her the service was rubbish, you shouldn’t pay for something when it’s horrid and she rolled her eyes at me. I also told her I knew the manager was there and I don’t like being lied too! The second supervisor had told me both of them were supervisors but then dated she couldn’t go against what the other one had said as she was higher than her position. Also a lie! both of them were tripping over each others lies. I will never ever go back to Frankie & Bennys which is a shame as we love it there and got here often! One supervisor very rude lady with red/black hair. Other supervisor very small lady- don’t lie to someone’s face when they can see wit their own eyes and know exactly that your lying to them! absolutely crap service and a complete waste of £61.00.

So for a start the milkshake came in some funny looking foam cup that tasted cheap!! Overly priced and not good quality. My kebab I ordered also was very cold and I did ask for no tomatoes but the insisted I have them.

Ordered a large lamb shish. It never got delivered. Called store was told the order had been cancelled as they didn't have a driver. Promised a refund. A month later still no refund despite calling the store several times. Have no placed a visa dispute with my bank. Shame as have ordered before without issue. Won't be ordering again.
