"Lovely historic building, not overly large so space limited and would recommend booking during busy periods. Very friendly and attentive staff who also had a good knowledge of the building history which was nice to hear. Went for a late lunch and took advantage of their fixed price two course menu, a couple of cocktails and some bread and olives. Very large bowl of olives which was nice, they were pitted and we do prefer non pitted as tend to be more flavourful, however these were still enjoyable and a good sized portion. Bread was reasonable but nothing outstanding. Bruschetta nice, sweet tomatoes and fresh, street pizza found a little sloppy and a bit bland personally. Mains an Arrabiata sauce they kindly changed penne to spaghetti for my partner, pasta nicely cooked, sauce could have used a little more chilli, simple but tasty overall. I had the Carbonara which tasted creamy but as I had a little bit of a cold I'm not sure if it actually had a touch of cream but it certainly wasn't a full cream base which was good. I did find it although rich slightly bland in both the pancetta and the cheese, again I had a slight cold but expected the flavours to be a bit more punchy. Couldn't manage a dessert but we did both go for a liqueur coffee, myself a Scottish and my partner an Italian, both were pleasant and well made. The two cocktails as well had a decent measure of alcohol, quite well balanced flavour wise and whilst I've had much better they were certainly enjoyable. Definitely would give it a try again, sniffle free to give a fair shot. The staff and the very reasonable price for lunch would make a visit attractive, but would also like to go for an evening meal and a more relaxed experience."

This is by far the most authentic Italian restaurant I have been to in the Uk, and I have visited a lot! The service is incredible, the venue and atmosphere is incredible. And the food, the food is perfect, with its sweet tomato sauces, sensational pizza, perfectly cooked pasta, this is a definite must visit for that authentic restaurant! A piece of Italy right here!

this restaurant has been our go to place for years and we go as often as we can. maybe that is the problem, we have been too often. staff are always friendly but, the boss could improve his customer service. hence our recent visit did not go 100% correctly. the food does not always look good on the plate but tastes fine. you do not always get what you want either. lots of people love it, like the tourists, but for us it is time to give it a miss for a while. it has become a pile them in and get them out place.

Before our visit to Surrey I looked at the best Italians in the area and this one came up top pick, so we decided to give it a try. It is clearly very popular as we booked a table a month before our visit and a lot of times we’re already gone so I do recommend booking well in advance. The service was fantastic and the food was incredible! Very quick but beautiful fresh food. Next time we are in the area I will be booking again as it is one of the best Italian restaurants we have been too. Thank you for a lovely meal we will be back! View menu

We thought as it’s a Thursday night a booking wouldn’t be required got that one wrong. Restaurant was completely booked out. We managed to get a table outside but in the non heated area. Lucky for us there was a cancellation and we were able to dine in. The atmosphere was lovely, and the staff were very attentive. Food was great, I would definitely recommend the seafood linguine. My husbands lamb shank just fell off the bone. A lovely gesture for our anniversary too. Overall a great first experience and it certainly won’t be our last.

Had a great evening with a friend and my family. It is very lively and always appreciated by locals and visitors alike. The food is based on Neapolitan Italian tradition and is divine. We loved it a lot. We had 2 sharers between 5 of us, then 3 tagliata, a pizza with bufala and a spaghetto allo scoglio . We drank a nice, cold greco di tufo and finished with a ricotta and pistachio cake and a limoncello cheese cake. A.m.a.z.i.n.g. The team is lovely, attentive and chatty and will entertain guests with anecdotes and explaining pairings and details of the food history. Gets are very crowded on Fridays so better to give them a call and see if there are any last minute changes or cancellations. P...
