"Caffe e Cucina is one of those places I tend to forget about, but then I remember and visit again and decide I'll *definitely* come more often, until I forget. I've never been for dinner, but it's a fantastic lunch spot. I say this primarily because it is incredible value. If you go for a sit down lunch in town, you expect to pay almost as much as if it were dinner. Maybe about £10/head for something hot. At Caffe e Cucina you can get a gorgeous warm sandwich or a fabulous pasta for about £7. Last time we were in, I got the soup of the day and bruschetta (four huge pieces with cheese, walnuts, and something red and leafy) for a total of about £8.50 and couldn't hope to finish it all. Not just incredible value, the staff is lovely and the food is good. It's simple and well done with what certainly tastes like quality ingredients. My only complaint, and the reason for 4 stars instead of 5, is the salt. My soup and bruschetta were both heavily salted you could see the layer of salt on the bruschetta beyond my normal taste. I don't tend to use much salt and would much rather add it myself. Having said this, I understand the desire to get the right amount of seasoning on a dish so the diner doesn't think the food served is bland, I just found the salt heavy handed this time."

Went back and had the pizza special. Very good stuff. The pizza dough was fresh made and the toppings were very good. They also had a comfy baby seat and brought the wee one whatever we requested without hesitation. They even had baby sippy cups! Yay!

I have been coming to this venue as long as I can remember, when it was Sherry's cafe back in my childhood when I used to fill up on scampi and toasties and them when it was Loopy Lorna's for cake.Yum. I've visited it as Caffe e Cucina a couple of times now, just for coffee and scones. I've heard for a meal that the food is a bit hit or miss, but would still be keen to try at some point. I have to say however that the coffee is good and the scones are delicious. The hot chocolate I sampled last night was just too sweet (and I have quite a sweet tooth), as anyone who has seen me stuffing in cake at book club will testify) However I do like the friendly staff, the chilled out vibe, and quite f...
