The best restaurants serving Italian food in Ventnor East Isle of Wight South East

A very pleasant return to this firm favourite of a restaurant and again not disappointed at all, the food was absolutely top notch, the service was equally on par, a must for any foodie whilst in Ventnor.

We come to Ventnor on a regular basis, and the first evening out is always this place, never disappoints, ever changing specials to compliment the standard but superb tried and tested main menu, we had starters from the regular menu, and the chicken specials, absolutly perfect in all ways. The waiting staff are fantastic, professional and ultra friendly, see you next month when Emily and I return.

I’ve travelled the world, lived in Italy, and eaten pasta in places where they really know how to do it — but never in my life have I come across anything as disappointing as the “Spaghetti with King Prawns and Pork” from this place. Let’s start with the so-called king prawns — calling them that is a joke. They were clearly the cheapest frozen prawns you can buy, rubbery and tasteless. And then mixing pork with pasta and prawns? That’s not just a bad culinary idea, it’s borderline offensive. Pork with seafood in pasta is a combo that doesn’t work — for the taste buds or the stomach. It’s the kind of pairing that can leave you with serious abdominal discomfort. And to top it off, this bizarre creation is the most expensive item on their special menu? Almost £30 for something I wouldn’t even give to a dog. Honestly, I expected much better. This dish is a disaster — avoid at all costs.

Good place to eat. Food was delicious. Menue is limited but the quality of food was great. Also no onions used which duited my wifes allergy
