"lovely Italian restaurant, not reminiscent of the chain restaurants, just as i prefer them, authentic. Wonderful food, fab specials board the crab ravioli was sublime and perfectly seasoned. We had a bottle of wonderful Gavi di Gavi and lovely friendly knowledgeable service. Will definitely return, its years since i ate here and its still so good. Highly recommend"

I’m in an Italian restaurant and it was poor. Calamari starter was soggy and rubbery. The pizza was less than standard. Must try harder. View menu

The service was excellent. Very efficient, quite friendly. The restaurant was bustling. We ordered pizzas which were nice but not remarkable we found them very salty. View menu

My son booked this for today for a treat for mother's day as he and his girlfriend are regulars. Had the most lovely starters that I'd never had before, pate stuffed mushrooms. In fact everyone had beautiful meals. Staff very friendly. Good price. Will definitely go back.
