"I convinced my partner, who is half Italian, to join me for a meal and drinks at this restaurant. He wasn't very hungry, so I decided to order the Nachos with melted cheese for £4.50, with additional toppings costing 75p each. I chose sour cream and jalapeños. My partner ordered an iced mint frappe for £4.50 from the menu, while I opted for a simple black tea and asked for lemon to put in it, but they didn't have any. I had to wait a long time because there was only one girl serving a large order of ice cream. Eventually, a young man came to take my order, though he seemed new and unsure about the prices and menu. He wrote down my order and an older man came out to help. The nachos were served unceremoniously, with no napkins, and the dish consisted of mostly broken nachos with a sprinkle of cheddar cheese, not the gooey mozzarella I expected. The sour cream came from a squirt bottle and tasted bland, as did the cheese. Despite their poor quality, I ate them because I hate wasting food. My partner also thought there wasn't much in the bowl, but we enjoyed the few jalapeños that were there. My partner's frappe came in a plastic cup, and the server apologized for not knowing we were sitting down and offered a spoon for the whipped cream. The visit was redeemed by the pleasant young server. We asked the young man for napkins, and he pointed us to a table inside where we had to get them ourselves. The worst part was seeing the older man and the young man go out three times to throw shop waste into the public bin on the square, including coffee granules and kitchen waste that spilled all over the pavement. The young man said he didn't know why they didn't use their own bins and was just following instructions. We were shocked and upset by this behavior."

The service was superb. The choice is incredible and so big, have one of the ice cream sundaes and you will enjoy a great ice cream, best I've tasted in a long time!

It is a truly wonderful gem with indoor outdoor seating. The service is very personal and friendly and the ice creams (homemade on the premises and a staggering ever changing variety) is famous around here

We visited yesterday for a post swim snack and in the words of our 8 year old “this ice cream is the best ice cream I’ve ever tasted in the whole world and I would give it 110 million out of 10”!!! Thank you! We will be back for sure!!

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The coffee was excellent and the food was delicious and reasonably priced. The ice cream was also very tasty and the staff was friendly. I heard that there are new owners, so I wish them the best of luck. This place has everything going for it!

I discovered Italian gelato in Italy and have been hooked ever since. I stumbled upon this place near the square and managed to get two cones before my bus arrived. The biggest challenge was deciding on a flavor, but I ended up choosing watermelon and key lime pie. The portions were generous too.

Thankyou Antonio …….. for helping me to cheer up my family who were feeling very glum. It was extremely kind and generous hearted of you to take the ice cream I had ordered to them. It did cheer them up. Not every ice cream would have worked so well! Yours is excellent. We really appreciate your kindness.
