"Amazing food, even better service. Visited this restaurant for my dad’s birthday, along with 8 of my family. The restaurant was very busy, and it was only a Tuesday evening (which I think is usually a good sign). 2 of the party were small children, one with allergies to oats, milk, soy etc. Our waitress Maria had complete knowledge of the menu and went out of her way to organise vegan ingredients (without oats) were purchased from a store nearby so my nephew could enjoy a meal (and the 2.5 year old ate his entire pizza). This was just one display of how brilliant Maria was. She was quick to organise our tables drinks and deliver them, gave us time to explore the menu and took our orders in perfect time, there wasn’t a single moment we felt rushed or forgotten, exemplary service and intuition from Maria. I can’t remember the last time I received such perfect service from start to finish. She has great humour, is smiley, happy, approachable and knowledgeable, a total asset to the restaurant. The other waitress and mixologist/bar man were also entirely lovely and gave great service (didn’t catch their names). The food was delicious, good portion sizes, lovely and flavoursome and it’s clear a lot of love and time goes into making, designing and presenting the dishes. Really great Italian menu, which has options for everyone, and doesn’t overdo it with a silly amount of linguine and pasta choices (just the right amount of diverse options). Atmosphere is great too, and upstairs and a downstairs, with decor that feels very authentically Italian, and music playing at the right volume (which is where so many go wrong, when it’s so loud you can’t have conversations). It’s a must visit, can’t wait to go back! The best customer service and incredible food! Couldn’t fault a single thing!"

"Disappointing experience after deciding to book here having read many great recent reviews. Maybe just caught them on a poor night. Arrived 8.45 for pre booked 8.45 table which wasn't quite ready. Front of House advised table not quite ready. Didn't offer any drink or menu to look at. Came back 10 mins later said if wouldn't be long, this time no drink offered but menus were provided. It felt a bit awkward waiting at entrance. Sat at table and ordered Oysters which were good, scallops and mini Moules which were good. A new waitress looked after us who although quite inexperienced was good fun and very pleasant. No issue at all with her service Ordered Monkfish and Lobster Thermidore and 2 sides. Monkfish was very average (i was asked if i was happy to have on the bone and it felt like they were low on stock, very little fish arrived and felt like they would have been better saying monk fish was off menu than trying to sell a portion that was inadequate) and the Lobster was rubbery and very chewy, the sides were forgotten and we had to ask for them. Complained to the manager and she offered a refund on the mains and sides which we accepted. Had to push to get the service charge removed which was pretty cheeky I would say. In summary the food quality of mains wasn't good, the welcome was poor but they did handle the complaint ok and were very forthcoming with amending bill to keep us happy which suggests to me they knew it was poor."
