"Superb food, friendly and speedy service. Very clean. I ate at the bar around the chef the first time nice to watch him work and at a table the second time. Both very clean. Loved it so much I went twice in one week after discovering it last Saturday. I can’t wait to go back. My husband had the spicy version and I had the original (both times, though with extra belly pork the second time). The belly pork melts in your mouth but surprisingly the broth is probably the stand out item thought it’s all delicious. Really nice loos."

"Vito’s Italian had been on my ever-growing list of Restaurants to try for a while, so it was a welcomed nudge when Vito invited me to come and try what he describes as authentic Italian food. Being Italian himself, and heavily involved in all parts of the restaurant, the passion that Vito has for food really comes across in the dishes served here. The restaurant had a warm, open feeling to it and the bar area feels a little rustic. Our waiter was very friendly and tentative which I love about proper Italian restaurants, the staff always want to make you feel welcome as soon as you walk in. The specials board that evening included a lot of seafood so I didn’t choose from it this time but I do love seeing a specials board! The menu itself is vast so it took me a while to choose what I wanted, but it’s great to see that Vito’s offers the pasta dishes as a smaller portion for starters too. For my starter, an unusual choice for me, but I decided to go with Scamozza Al Forno Con Funghi – Oven baked Scamozza cheese with mushrooms, garlic and parsley. A large portion of big, fresh mushrooms lightly cooked and baked in lots of a cheese, far from the soggy, horrible garlic mushrooms you sometimes get on a menu that just leave a sour taste. I don’t often go for mushrooms but I was really pleased with my choice and really enjoyed this starter – so much cheese! Ben went with a starter portion of the Ravioli Aragosta – Lobster filled ravioli cooked with prawns and a touch of cream. Inside the ravioli was real, fresh, big chunks of lobster. The prawns looked big and juicy too and the dish was presented beautifully. I was tempted to be honest, but I stuck to my guns with choosing not to eat seafood (was the most difficult it’s been since I stopped eating it months ago! . However I am told this dish was perfect and delicious. It was a tough decision on which Main dish to go for. Vito recommends the traditional Carbonara. BTW don’t offend him by going to his ITALIAN restaurant and asking for an English or practically made up version of Carbonara in a cream sauce or with chicken in it – that is not a Carbonara and not an authentic Italian dish. I couldn’t believe when he told me that he had previous customers asking for it this was and giving a bad review when he said that he did not serve Carbonara in such a way. However, that night the meal that caught my eye most on the menu was Strascinati Con Salsiccia Lucana (nope I couldn’t pronounce it either – Strascinati (this word comes from the meaning to “pull” as you can see in the shape of the pasta cooked with homemade sausage meat, tomato sauce, basil and chilli. (Typical pasta from Vito’s hometown . Wow – the dish looked amazing, tasted amazing and it was amazing that I actually ate the whole bowl-full, but I did Really good choice and right up my street in terms of taste and ingredients. Ben went for a good old Calzone – Folded pizza filled with ham, mozzarella and tomato, made the traditional Italian way. The dough was perfectly folded and just thick enough that it was lovely and crispy on the outside and still soft on the inside. Fully packed with delicious ingredients, this Calzone did not disappoint, however it just beat him as he was so full. I tried it myself of course and agreed that it was really tasty. As well as the food going down extremely well, I loved the house red wine too – a Primitivo from the Apulia region, a really smooth wine. I am definitely going to get me a bottle of this for the weekend! 2 alcoholic drinks, 2 starters, 2 mains and some olives to start came to just under £60 which we thought was very reasonable and was superb value for money for the quality of food that we received. I think this restaurant would be somewhere great to go for a date or with the family for an occasion."

"as a family, woman, son and friend. very efficient and friendly. the menu is somewhat limited, but we had appetizers that were considerable and very good. for main courses, a mixture of pasta, pizza and a chicken salad and bratkartoffeln. Some...something gloomy again, like the coffee. it is worth noting that it is unlicensed, but there are sainsbury’s, directly opposite and they are welcome to bring wein and the cafe delivers glasses. I am a fan, they can buy two decent bottles and it is much cheaper than a bottle of moderate wine in a restaurant."

"We were there to meet friends and so were not at all pleased when the music was suddenly turned up very loud. We asked for it to be turned down and it was so that’s good but why turn it up in the first place?? We thought that Service was a bit slow. But we love the food and the restaurant is very convenient for us."

"After a very good afternoon doing the Potter Trail, we came across this wee gem. I was with my Daughter, Son in law and Granddaughter and newly born Grandson. We were made to feel very welcome and the food was to die for. We had a starter of Calamari and Mussles, both were fantastic. I had a calzone pizza which i have to say has been the best i have ever tasted. Compliments from daughter of her pizza and son in law polished his off in no time. Staff were fantastic, on the ball, very friendly and attentive. Would certainly recommend, and we will certainly be back soon."

"Lucarelli is absolutely amazing inside, it is so beautiful!!! My daughter and I visited for her 16th Birthday. We were 15 mins late and the host still accomadated us, which I was very relieved about. All of the food was delicious. We did have an issue with the focaccia being missing from the sharing plate but the waitress soon corrected this with 4 small slices between the 2 of us which was not enough. Other than that I can not fault the presentation of food and drinks, desserts were particularly impressive. Half of the staff were friendly and the other half were not. In particular one of the waitresses was rude and miserable which put a dampner on our evening. This was very disappointing and upsetting. We paid a lot of money and I expected an overall fantastic experience, with great food ambience and service. I tried not to let this spoil it but it was very difficult because my daughter and I had heard fabulous things about the restaurant. When the bill came over I was not given time to look at it before the card machine was presented. When I checked the bill after there was an optional £15 service charge, which I would have refused to pay due to the inadequate service overall. I would still return but ask not to be served by one waitress in particular."

"I work in West Bromwich so often stay over i have eaten at Lucarelli in The Postbox and the meal was exceptional but this is West Bromwich, it cant compare, can it? Away i needed somewhere to stay and hotel prices where double there normsil rate so I rang Lucarelli and they sorted me a room. Which was very nice for the price in fact much better than anything locally for a similar price. I had a great double bed a huge TV beautiful towles, the water was red hot and the hotel was quite i had the best night sleep in years. I had no intention to eat at Lucarelli but I has soon has i walked in the smell of garlic hit me and when my friend turned up we stayed. Dover sole, the famous fried courgettes and a couple of brwads with cheese and andouille (not sue about spelling). Food was fantastic, service was exceptional and a big thank you to Vinnie for looking after us, I will definitely be back."

"Really overly average meal for ridiculous prices. Went with a big group of friends and half the group were really disappointed with their meal. Last time we went here, we were left sat at the bar for a good half an hour without being offered a drink or a menu and when we were seated it took so long for them to bring us the menu, let alone order, that we left and went to the local Thai! We thought we'd give it another try and were faced with pathetic portions and quality that I could have done better at home. Stodgy, over priced, la-di-dah and average service. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind paying good money for great food, IF it's great, but the best thing about the meal was the people we were eating it with. I don't know where this restaurant gets it's reputation from but for the prices they charge, I'd like to think they could afford to get a proper lock on at least one of the ladies toilets! Won't be returning."

"This wasn't our first visit to Peachbaum. We have been regular guests for about 4 years now, so we have seen how this place has evolved. We used to go there every weekend, but unfortunately, in the last few months, we have stopped going altogether. The reason is the management. The owner needs to reconsider his approach to running the business, in my opinion. There is a constant turnover of staff, which is concerning. The food and products are still very good, but everything else is lacking. My advice to the owner would be to take care of your staff, retain them, make them happy and valued, and this will also reflect on the guests. You are losing customers because of your own actions."

"I'm feeling a bit sad because I'll never enjoy pizza the same way again after this experience. This was truly the pinnacle of pizza perfection. The courgette batter chips were outrageously good as well. I've been looking forward to this visit for a long time (at least since reading about it), and I stayed at an Airbnb nearby in Whitstable, taking a lovely walk along the sea."

"The table was good. Our main course was served with the remark “the appetizer is the same”. We ordered them. The pasta dishes were not dressed nicely. My Ravioli over 6 pieces) glued together, only a broken-down area of sage above. Tastefully good. All right, as we had seen before in the Stadthalle. It's very good. I wouldn't drive extra there."

"We were short on Friday night and we liked it well. We had to wait a little for the service, but it wasn't bad anymore, because we wanted to eat comfortably. There were a few service personnel who had failed as the boss explained to us, so he himself took part. The noodles (Tagliatelle Fabbrica) were delicious and the portion larger than one would have accepted at first glance. Bread and Parmesan were on demand. The dessert even went to the house and also tasted very well Cassata and Panna Cotta, thank you for that! If we were close again, we would go back there."

"We had a pleasant dining experience with excellent service at this restaurant. They offer gluten-free options for both pizza and pasta upon request. I tried the gluten-free pizza and was very impressed with it. The lunch menu starts from £9.00, with a special deal for a lunch pizza at £8. A meal for 3 costs £15.95. Takeaway service is also available. We would definitely recommend this place."

"First time visiting. Very warm welcome and friendly staff. We ordered the chicken wings and crocettas to start. Both were very tasty. We had pizzas for our mains when they arrived we realised we didn't need the starters. They are big. And boy are they good. I'd put them in the top 3 pizzas I've ever had. Certainly better than any pizza I've had in Italy. The toppings were fantastic, but it's the crust which is the star. Just amazing crisp but soft at the same time. After chatting to the chef (an Italian! , he told me the dough is given 72 hours to rise. You can see the pride he has in his product. Very authentic, and super delicious. Can't wait to return."

"This incredible Italian restaurant offers an authentic dining experience with a separate gluten-free menu. The chefs' daughters have celiac disease, so I trust that my order will be safe. The staff are extremely knowledgeable and can accommodate gluten-free requests, even with off-menu specials. I highly recommend trying the starters, pasta dishes, and gluten-free cheesecake, which I haven't sampled yet but it looks delicious."
