"This is a rare gem of a restaurant. My other half and I have been going to this place for our Italian fix since 2008, and to be honest we’ve tried other places local to us but none hit the mark like this place (we travel about an hour from Doncaster area it’s that good) Family run, traditionally cooked Italian food at its best, and there’s plenty of it, simply presented without the faff and fluff you get at some places. Set at the side of the village green this stone building decor is warm, inviting and cosy with a traditional Italian rustic feel, Gabs has chosen his staff well, friendly warm and welcoming it’s like being with family every time you visit. Starters are a good size serving but the mains are incredibly generous, delicious flavours with nothing overpowering this allows the tastes to come through of each dish it doesn’t disappoint. If you have enough room for dessert they are a divine melt in the mouth experience not to be missed. So if you like good honest homemade Italian food made by the family, served by the family, that makes you feel like part of the family give this place a try. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5"

While staying near Bakewell, we were craving Italian cuisine and stumbled upon this restaurant on Google. It exceeded our expectations with its authentic atmosphere, friendly staff, and hearty portions of flavorful and fresh food. The prices were surprisingly affordable considering the high quality of the restaurant. I would definitely make a point to dine here again if I find myself in the area. View menu

What can I say!!! This is the best Italian I have ever dined at. The food and service was on another level, could not have asked for more. Also, as it was my daughters birthday, i spoke with the restraunt beforehand regarding some accommodations, and everything was in place by the time we arrived. Just a pity I live so far away, or I would definitely be a regular. Its a must for a foodie to visit this place Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Nothing special. The menu contains too many items which suggests that not all food is freshly cooked. Service was ok but tried too hard. We were initially asked for a drinks order by a young lady who brought my wife a glass of lemonade in a tea set jug and empty glass . Very odd! Got the impression the deserts are not home made but purchased at a “cash and carry” type outlet. The house white wine was below average and not recommended .
