Staff are always welcoming and friendly. It's nice place for a sunny day because they have the restaurant front open. I love the pizzas, it's a shame that we didn't have room for dessert!

Lovely food, friendly staff. Second time going there but was disappointed with the service as didn't even get offered dessert and by that point it wasn't even busy. Main course came out quickly and would probably still go back

All good, quite tight on space in some seating areas. Service was inattentive towards the end of the evening but food was good. Overall good Italian menu with some great variety to the normal drudge of commercial Italian on offer from chain restaurants.

Good food at a reasonable price - would recommend ordering a starter and main though as the trend here seems to be giant plate, small portions.

We've dined here before so was expecting a lovely evening out. Unfortunately it wasn't to be on this occasion. We waited an hour between entrees and mains with no update from the kitchen on the timing. Then one of our mains was a raw steak when it should have been a medium-well done.

We were given a table in the back area, which i didn't know existed before now. To be honest we were happy to be away from a large group of 40 in the main restaurant and our area soon filled up After we arrived. The waitress was very attentive, explained the specials and gave us recommendations. The food was really good, tasty and very reasonably priced. My only gripe was perhaps my pasta was a little too al dente, but it didn't spoil me enjoying it. A complimentary drink on the house was served with the bill, which is always a winner in my book. Definitely recommend.

Lovely little place, visited a few times now. Food is all delicious, pretty simple Italian stuff but that's a good thing - good Italian is about simple bold flavours coming together. The menu is pretty big so just going for the specials is my tactic. Staff very nice, friendly and casual atmosphere, pleasant interior, decently priced. Very much recommend.

Had dinner on NYE. The service was very slow as the restaurant was busy, had to wait 45 minutes for the starters, which was ok as he had time. The waiters were nice but some of them hardly spoke english. The tomato bruschette were not good as the tomatoes were bad (very hard and tasteless) and there was nothing else on the bruschette (no olive oil ?!). The aubergine and goat chees bruschette were very good. For the main my boyfriend had the lamb which was good. I had the crab linguine and there was hardly any crab in the pasta, did not taste much like crab. The pasta was very disappointing. The wines are cheap and the bottle we had was good. Overall i would say the prices are okay, the atmosphere of the restaurant is nice, but the food is uninteresting and does not taste much like Italy. Will probably not go back.

Our waiter was quite short with us when we didn't want to order any sides, which he was quite pushy about. The mains were tasteless and too salty (linguine and spaghetti). The service was also incredibly slow. Will not be going back after such a disappointing experience.
