"After never visiting Canterbury before we where looking for somewhere to have a late lunch, we came across this place which looked ok, upon entering the back room we were offered to take a seat in the front area and someone will be with us. We asked what food there was and we where sarcastically shown the food on the blackboard, after choosing what we wanted the polite man went off and put the order in. We did feel that because the man had asked a couple of questions to another member of staff that he was spoke down too a bit. Anyway after placing the order and what we wanted the food came out it wasn’t correct but because it seemed like we were going to interrupt the people in the back room we just took what we had. It was nice food though. When we went to pay we hadn’t noticed that there wasn’t a price list so when we asked for the bill we were told that it was donation, what we thought was enough, it wasn’t posted anywhere and it took us by surprise as we where standing at the till, I was going to pay in cash but was told they don’t take cash so I had to give my donation in card by telling the person how much we where donating. After plucking a figure out of air as we wasn’t prepared we paid and left. Upon leaving we felt that the person we paid thought we hadn’t paid enough and wasn’t happy with the amount but after working out what we would have paid properly we worked out that we had paid more than what it might have been if there was a proper price on everything. Overall it has a great ethos and it’s great for giving people the experience that they need to be in a working environment but they need to show the price or tell customers first that it’s donations and card only."

"Found this on Tripadvisor, and also a 5 minute walk from the Premier Inn where we were staying. Initial impressions might be off putting as the main restaurant is upstairs and just a small bar area is visible from the street. Stick with it, the welcome is warm, and the food and service are outstanding. As advertised, this is very authentic, run by Italians, in case of the server owner? from Calabria. We had three courses, meat and cheese etc sharing platter, then venison ragu and fresh pappardelle pasta, then desserts. Homemade and very delicious food. All this plus a bottle of Montepulchiano and one grappa for a very reasonable price £93 for two . It was a wet Tuesday evening but the place still had plenty of customers. Very happy with this find and would definitely go back."

"found personal to go beyond and beyond to provide hungry people with a meal! we came after they had closed, but they still cooked us a nice tasty meal to take off! naveen and the cook were nice to receive people who had time for a chat and a drink with us, although they were willing to lock up! eat very delicious, in any case must have one if they were looking for a qualitative take or sit on them for a meal. a huge thumb of us!"

"we have a family room for a big birthday party. we had a party of 10 due to the size of our party we were in the pariser room, the 10-12 people. we were able to reach the room earlier than our evening booking to design the table place birthday gifts ballons in place for the night. a large private room that allows a larger group space private sphere to celebrate in style. large decor a large size for larger groups. the restaurant esself is a great place, a pianist played when we entered the personal that became attentive. we had pre ordered our meal choice to make this a smooth operation. we have waited for one during the first course, but with the drink flow the group celebrates the occasion, this was not a real thing. in addition this was a busty Saturday evening. eating was great, I had a paté to start, which was a tasty appetiser, followed by a medium rare steak. that is from far the best steak that I could enjoy in a long time. cooked to perfection. finished with a cream brûlée that was nice. the whole party cleaned their plates all commented on how big the food was, from steak to pork belly lachs all enjoy nothing left. a beautiful evening in a great location, with friendly personal great food. worth a visit!"

"as italian itself there are always 5 dings that I want to check in a restaurant I want to go: Italian spearking staff good products and authentic aromen specialized in the day and the flexibility on the menu good coffee clean tables and attention to the customer. I was greeted by annunziata and then served by the Slovak manager, whom I do not remember the names, but was supercompetent and always looking at me. if they are alone usually tables tend to overlook them, but this time was not the case. I ordered the special of the day, a dessert and a coffee. Waiting times were for what was cooked, and the staff is attentive to everything that goes on the floor. only small cons is the toilet of the herrn has a window in which people can go after what business they do. I will either set a ventilation and close the window or use something else. the prices are good and the steingebackene pizza is superior to the other in the city. also a hauch of class does not immediately charge the 20% up, but let them know that everything goes up in tips straight to waiter. that is a really classy and all business should take note. make one like and taste this restaurant when they live here."
