Both him and his staff were incredible helping us with every small task to make the filming possible. They would even make the most amazing coffees for the crew whilst still managing to run a full restaurant at the same time. Without their support we wouldn't have been able to complete our filming. We would definitely be visiting again - perhaps next time without the camera! read less

No-one asked if we had enjoyed our meals - it was pretty obvious when two of us left half of our meals what we thought. At least my husband did enjoy the mussels! Won’t be back! All the waitresses could say was ‘you are very welcome’ …. Sorry but not for us. read less

Great food and very friendly staff!Highly recommended. .

Nice food

Good view authentic restaurant An excellent restaurant. The food is fairly classic but all the dishes were excellent. Staff were helpful and the prices reasonable

We asked if they had a pizza menu but unfortunately they don't. In same way we asked for vegan and they have one which is nice. They also have a massive menu of wines. Lovely dish size and no long waiting times.
We ordered a bruschetta to share, a salad, tagliatelle Alfredo and gnocchi. They were delicious. Also they added parmigiano when asked for.
Regarding to prices, very good onces and affordable. Regarding workers they looked demotivated or tired but attending nicely to clients in the end. read less

The bruschetta was the nicest dish, nice balance of tastes, even if it should be called pizza with chopped tomatoes. Bruschetta is something else.
The gnocchi were too salty, but nice pistacchio pesto. I asked for Parmiggiano and I received a generic grated cheese 🤦🏻‍♂️ how can you do that in an Italian restaurant?
Just for the dinner they should have 4 stars.
Waitresses not very careful about the service.
Very short list of beers.... only one. Pricey for the what you get.

If you wants to eat Italian, go elsewhere. read less

My mum had the monkfish that was £20, we told the older waiter that it was super dry and over cooked, he literally just said ‘well it depends how long it was in the oven for..’ and that was it, it remained on our bill, no apology, no acknowledgement. My sister tasted it and genuinely couldn’t swallow it. They didn’t check back on our main courses otherwise we would have told them before my mum battled down half of it.
One of the waiters, he must be fairly new there was super friendly, he is the exception to the rule, we’ve always found the staff pretty surly but as we enjoyed the food and the outdoor area, we kept coming back, having now eaten in other Italian restaurants, Ive realised that the pasta isn’t fresh and many of the menu items aren’t even Italian.. last visit for us unfortunately. read less

It is authentic Italian food and all the staff were extremely attentive and friendly. We sat outside as the weather was good, but the interior is lovely and I shall return on a cooler day to experience it. Really, this is a very nice restaurant and I look forward to returning. read less

Salmon was brilliant, same as other dishes

Would have been 5 stars but they were out of gnocchi!

Good quality food I took my parents for dinner to celebrate my mum’s birthday. The food was great. The lobster linguine is a must-try.

Very cosy environment and tasty food
