"Really lovely genuine Italian, family run feel to the the restaurant. Not terribly large but seems to be well laid out so I can 't imagine it would feel any more cramped than any other restaurant when it 's full. We went on a Tuesday night in the middle of a summer heatwave but it still ended up fairly busy and seemed to have a fair few know-them-by-name regulars, which is always a good sign for any establishment. The service was fantastic and all of the staff seemed genuinely happy to be working there. Complementary nibbles were brought out to start, which were some kind of open textured bread with olive oil and herbs, which were enjoyed by the people who tried them. We skipped starters and between us had two pizzas, one pasta, and one meat dish for mains. The pizza eaters were really impressed, the meat dish was veal with a cream and mushroom sauce which was described as delicious, with perfectly cooked vegetables, and my spaghetti carbonara was absolutely gorgeous. They had no problem at all accommodating small alterations to dishes or checking ingredients and everything came out exactly as ordered. For pudding we had between us two different sorbet desserts which were lovely and refreshing (though we were so hot and full we couldn 't even finish them) and 'torta della Nonna ' which was described as a light, slightly nutty tart that was perfect to finish with. We had all only had soft drinks in the end and one of us didn 't have any dessert, but even so it was less than £20 per head and for the quality of both food and service we all felt it was worth much more. All in all we had a wonderful evening and we will most definitely be going back again and again, and telling everyone else to do the same!"

"Went as a group for a birthday , live local and have gone here so many times before mainly loved it. The last two times I don’t know if it’s a change of ownership or something but service was appalling. Two of our pizzas were not cooked (which we knew wouldn’t be as saw on the screen they were out in the oven for literally one minute! . The dough was still stretchy and sticky and the mozzarella was still in hard chunks! Staff said it was because of the style of pizza being a little smaller for a kid! yet the calezone for an adult was the same! My actual pizza was nice though. Slow service food brought out big gaps in between. There was only us and another table with one person on! So Christ knows how they cope if they have more people! Chef clearly annoyed we had complained about the Pizza! Muttering away. If you don’t cook the food obviously your going to get complaints! Your not doing it for free!! Clearly wanted us to go after this, turned music off clearing rest of restaurant and hovering around to take our plates and drinks, in a rush to get rid of us they threw the birthday cake away we had just cut up for people. They did apologise but didn’t offer to rectify and it’s because they were rushing us out. It was 9.00pm though so maybe they shut at this time I had not checked. Such a shame after many nice nights there to the last two times. Won’t be going again! Also speaking to a few friends they said they had similar experiences there recently!"
