The best restaurants serving Italian food in Barton Canterbury South East

I am reposting as it seems my first review either did not upload properly or was deleted. We visited this restaurant because of all the good reviews however we were all really dissapointed with our mains. The pasta in my dish was hard, more than al dente, and the sauce did not taste of much. My friend ordered the pasta with prawns and seafood however there were no prawns at all and the overwhelming taste was just of lemon and nothing else. The risotto was the best of all 3. I have eaten many times in Italy, but I would not liken this to any of the food I have eaten there. It was difficult to choose something from the menu as it the dishes seem overcomplicated (liquorice on pasta for example). The restaurant seemed very quiet for a friday night, if I could make one recommendation, I would stay stick to the classics that are much more popular. One thing we did love however was the fried dough balls at the beginning.
