"We have been eating here on a regular basis for a while now. We have taken friends as well as just going as a couple. It is positioned above the Jolly sailor pub so beware there are stairs to climb. There are seats as you enter along with a bar and a room at the back as well. Paula has a wonderful display of photographs from Italy on display to give it a more authentic feel.We have always been warmly welcomed by the staff and you definitely should book to avoid disappointment, they do have a lot of regulars.We have also visited on special occasions such as Halloween, Valentine's Day and new Year's Eve. On these occasions there are always additions to the usual menu or in the case of NYE a set menu which had to be pre ordered.There are always home made bread buns awaiting you followed by another treat on the house. The menu is varied and there is always a specials blackboard. The starter selection is varied but if you plan a dessert go hungry as the starters are definitely not mean portions.We have tried pretty much all the menu between us and whether your taste is pizza, pasta, meat or fish you will not be disappointed. A dish of either veg of gorgeous chunky chips comes with your main from the meat and fish and a side of salad is enough for two should you opt for that.The desserts are very reasonably priced and often have a seasonal special on them. Coffees are a good price and the wine selection is varied and again a decent price. There are a few typically Italian cocktails on offer too.At the end of the meal you are offered a digestif to set you on your way. We have been in a large group for an outing and they cope steadily with delivery of the meals to all without a long gap.The real draw is the friendly welcome and the kindness the staff display along with the obvious hard work to please the customers.Alex has a dry wit and is delighted if you have a good evening.There is a happy hour from 5 with 25% off menu prices.It is closed on a Sunday except for special occasions."

Been quite a few times now and tried a variety of meals are all very good. Nice service with good touches such as complimentary bruchetta and aperitif. Recommend the rib-eye steak which often appears on the specials menu.

Went last Thursday with my partner and been utterly impressed from the specials we had from the black board which reminded us of the great food we had in our many trips to Italy. The service was also remarkable, the staff very attentive and friendly making us feel at home in a relaxed atmosphere. Absolutely spot on, highly recommended.

I went out with friends on Saturday and we started at the Italian restaurant down the road, but we were very disappointed. We ended up booking a table at this restaurant last minute and we were not disappointed at all. The service, food, price, and atmosphere were all excellent. Although it is a small restaurant, it is definitely a great one. This will be our first choice for dining out in the future.
