Reviews
I came here for lunch with my friend and we were genuinely surprised at how much we enjoyed the food here. We only meant to order a main but it smelled so lovely that we ordered starters too - and then we decided we had to order a dessert too! I ordered all of my food from the specials menu - the stuffed courgette flower, the crab and lobster lasagne, and the creme brûlée. My friend ordered the bruschetta, carbonara, and lemon sorbet. We couldn’t stop gushing about how incredible it tasted! The staff were also very friendly and service was so prompt - for three courses it took about an hour which is pretty fast.
Portions are generous. In general dishes cooked with passion. We enjoyed everything we ordered, including the baked eggplant with cheese in tomato sauce, lobster and crab meat lasagna which was rich in flavor, and lamb shank with mesh which was hearty. All in all a delightful experience.
We’ve been here a few times now, and despite being a popular restaurant that’s always busy, they’ve always made a table for us, despite not booking. The staff are warm and friendly, and the food is soo good!
Nice place, staff really nice, and service is perfect, decent portions and well priced. Unfortunately, food … well, I know British people have really low expectations and they will be happy. Unfortunately for me, I go to a restaurant to eat something I can't do myself better, and I was disappointed. I don't think this is a kitchen problem; it is more likely management, as all ingredients used to prepare food are the cheapest, lowest quality. Therefore, to prepare something decent isn't easy. Salami in calzone wasn't salami; it was ham, the cheapest sliced ham from Lidl or Aldi, etc., and so on and on. Chicken in pasta, not sure if they are buying cooked chicken or they have no idea how to cook chicken. I cook better chicken in 5 min with closed eyes. I would give 3 stars, as food is the reason I go to a restaurant, but I don't want to hurt them as I do realize these guys do a good job for average British person.
Went for a date night with my hubby and absolutely loved it. I had bruschetta, spinach ricotta ravioli and panna cotta . All of them were delicious. Happy Customer. Found my new favourite Italian restaurant ❤️
