"Arrived on time for our booking at 17:30. Our first visit. A nice looking place. Friendly enough welcome and we were sat at our table and got drinks. The place was not busy at that point. We ordered a starter to share and different mains. The starter came up fairly quickly and was the biggest whitebait I’ve ever eaten, but it was hot and tasted okay. As we ate, two separate, larger groups came in. We’d barely finished the starter when the mains came up. My wife’s seafood risotto was nuclear hot and seemed microwaved. A number Muscle shells were broken and prawns were tough. I had the salmon with tagliatelle which was only warm and a bit bland. I had to get up and find the pepper, as the one member of staff was busy with the other tables. Even the chef came out at one point and helped serve the other tables. They were clearly short staffed. Food seemed rushed and we never got to have a second drink, as they never came back to the table, even after I’d asked for drinks at the bar. In the end we paid at the bar and left. A shame as it showed promise. Doubt we’ll be back."

The food was good enough. But the state of the toilets made me worry for the state of the kitchen. The place could do with a bit of tlc View menu

There really isn't anything good to say about this restaurant. I have rarely had poorer food or service. I would not recommend you go there.

Very enjoyable meal out with the wife. It definitely gave the atmosphere of a very traditionalist Italian restaurant. Staff were very friendly and gave great recommendations! Limoncello with the bill was a great touch. Will be returning.
