  “We’ve been here twice before and it was excellent, so took the family of 6 for a birthday meal - what a disappointment We were booked at 6pm, and they already had no pizza base. The server didn’t tell us when he seated us or took our drinks order, he waited until someone asked for it and then told us. 2 of the party had to choose something that they didn’t really want as it’s a limited / small menu (which is fine if there’s something on there that you like), and when it came it wasn’t what it said on the menu. It should have been crispy chicken in lemon and garlic butter, but it was a creamy sauce that did not taste of garlic or lemon - and it was a chicken breast that wasn’t crispy … By 7pm when we ordered dessert, they had no chocolate fudge cake and the table next to us asked for 3 different wines that they didn’t have! It was busy so we didn’t like to make a scene, so ate up, paid the bill and left. The waitress was very pleasant, efficient and attentive so I can’t fault her, but I doubt very much we’ll be returning. Maybe they’ve put all the resources into their new pub, I don’t know, but what a terrible waste of time and money”

  “Quite possibly the best food in Barnsley, and possibly in South Yorkshire. We had the Arancini and White Onion Soup to start, and it was delicious. For mains, we had the Burrata Tomato Pasta and the Vodka Chicken Parm, again both outstanding. Highly recommend.”

  “Food was superb, service was great too. Only minor down side was it was quite hot and smoky in there, need to get better extraction I think. Menu was small but I don't mind that when it's all freshly made, nice open kitchen too. Will definitely be back if the menu changes regularly”

  “My son took me for a mother’s day meal. My son had previously eaten here. Service was great. Lovely atmosphere and attention to detail superb. It was nice to see your food being cooked. I’m not a massive steak fan but fancied one and I wasn’t disappointed. The cooking of it was recommended to me and was perfect. Will definitely be revisiting.”

  “We had this place recommended to us and booked a few weeks back - glad we did as it was busy. From the minute we walked in until we left it was absolutely superb. Service was friendly and welcoming and none of us could fault any aspect of our meal - it was excellent. Four starters, four mains, two bottles of wine, three pints, a gin and tonic and a coffee at £50 per person!!! Absolutely brilliant value and worth every penny. Simply could not fault our food - the polpette and the gambas starters were delicious. The beef pasta dish (12 hour) was simply stunning and the pizza was excellent - first time ever we didn’t have room for a dessert. Would highly recommend and will definitely return.”

  “We had a perfect meal here last night while celebrating our engagement. We started with the mushroom arancini and gambas pil pil, which were absolutely amazing. The service was excellent, the atmosphere was spot on, and the food was delicious all round. I love that they keep the menu small and change it regularly — it means there’s always something new to try. We’ll definitely be returning and would highly recommend it.”

  “Would 1000% recommend eating here, nicest Italian food I’ve ever had and that is absolutely not an over exaggeration. We went for a double date on a Saturday and it was a tiny bit slow for service but not enough for me to knock a star off, the waitresses were particularly lovely and friendly, it was just busy. The food was tasty, fresh, great ingredients (olives a particular highlight unusually!), and very reasonable prices. We will definitely be coming back here with our friends and family.”

  “I couldn’t wait to review this place food was absolutely incredible. We couldn’t get in till 9pm so we thought we’d give it a try like they do in Mediterranean country’s. Had a few steady drinks a few hours before hand. By the time 9pm came around we were ready and this place did not disappoint. The menu isn’t too big, the place isn’t too big which gives a nice intimate atmosphere. The food tastes as good as it looks the staff were fantastic. I’ve never tried Michelin star food but I’m guessing this is as close as it gets without actually having one. Had 3 amazing courses. Mushroom arancini and beef cheek croquette for starters. Lamb parpadelle with mozzarella and beef Italian sasauge and orecchiette for main. Salted caramel brownie with ice cream for desert. 10 out of 10 a wonderful dining experience. I’m guessing you won’t beat this place in Barnsley.”

  “Had a wonderful meal here and though probably pricey for Barnsley it has to get good marks, would have given 5 stars if my plate didn't have a large crack in it, not good enough. Atmosphere somewhat spoiled by people having to talk far too loudly to others within a yard of them, I have no interest in their holidays or plans. Wine was also very good, no doubt we'll try the place again.”
