We came across this place by accident whilst visiting the area. The staff are absolutely amazing - so friendly and welcoming. The food ( Ratatouille pizza, bruschetta and rocket salad) were great. Possibly the best bruschetta I’ve ever had. Thank you. You must go there!

Can not fault from entry to leaving all good, food was enjoyable , my only issue with prezzo is different people pay different prices for the same item due to having voucher of not

We eat here regularly, staff are friendly, good atmosphere, excellent food.

Two of us visited, having booked a table for 8PM. They close at 10, so plenty of time for dinner, you'd have thought - but no. Felt rushed to order (and not because we were got distracted talking instead of looking at the menu) Starters were good but no time was taken on presentation. My hummus was still smeared down the side of the bowl from serving up. We'd barely eaten the last mouthful when the waitress came back to the table, not to ask if we were finished with the starters, but armed with the main course. I'd ordered pancetta as an additional topping to my pizza, which was missing. When I brought this up, they apologised and said they could bring my some out. I was then handed a bowl of raw prosciutto (which I like, and couldn't be bothered to correct) but I did ask that it be cooked, and they obliged. No-one else came into the restaurant after us, so the other tables had started to leave at this point. They'd started to close up around us. I used to own a pub, so know staff want to do some bits to close down where they can, but it was clear they wanted to get us out of there. We were too full for dessert, and as soon as we informed them of this, they really started to get ramp up making us feel rushed out. I asked for the bill & paid. Whilst finishing our drinks, we could hear the staff talking. The chef was leaving, asking about whether he'd see the others tomorrow. We heard them discussing who was working, that there was a member of staff that wasn't in because she'd refused to work with the chef any more & actually asked for a transfer to different restaurant. Not the kind of thing that should be discussed around other customers. I checked my bank this morning, and saw that I paid the bill at 20:55! An hour before they were due to close! So absolutely insane that we were made to feel like those people who turn up 5 minutes before the kitchen closes, inconveniencing everyone. All in all, the food was okay, and it was nice to catch up with my mum over dinner, but the whole experience could have been a LOT better. As stated in my title, I always leave a tip, but last night I didn't. The restaurant was quiet, there was plenty of time before closing, there was ample capacity for the staff to provide a good service, which just didn't materialise.
