  “We dropped in for a quick lunch but wished we could stay longer. It's a lovely place to spend some time - spacious and sophisticated. We chose from the panini lunch menu. This isn't your ordinary mass-produced panini. Instead there are soft homemade flatbreads around generous Italian fillings. Absolutely delicious. I don't live near Bedford but I'd love to come back for a long, leisurely evening meal.”

  “Booked a table for 2 for 6:30pm, called ahead and asked if we could come 15 minutes earlier, which they said was fine. We were greeted and seated immediately. The menu had a nice variety of different dishes, all very reasonably priced. Waitress took our order and was very friendly, food arrived quickly and came out hot. Definitely will be coming back again, lovely little restaurant.”

  “What's not to love. Beautifully decorated, amazing cocktails, awesome food and impeccable service. This was one of the nicest Italian meals I've had in a really long time. Myself and the others at my table thoroughly enjoyed our meals which included Pizza, Carbonara and a Spaghetti Bolognese.”

  “Food was really delicious and very good portions. The staff make this hidden gem even more special. They were really welcome and accommodating to us all for our birthday visit. Will hopefully get a chance to visit again some day but will always recommend to anyone looking for Italian food done right.”

  “Really well run family owned Italian restaurant. Easy booking process, friendly staff, great service and unbelievable food. Highly recommend the mushroom bruschetta and pizzas! Really bubbly atmosphere inside and I overheard the table next to me say “we didn’t try that last time” which tells you this is one of those great places you will end up going back to! Shoutout to Nico too for helping to solve a little issue we had with our food with minimal fuss!”

  “Turned up with no booking on a Tuesday night with an awkward party size (5). The staff were excellent and found us a table straight away. The cocktails and food were very tasty and well presented.Its no nonsense quality Italian fair. Staff were really attentive and very efficient. The only downside is I thought the plate decoration on my creamy pasta was a grated truffle dust.. the pasta doesn’t need truffle. It’s great as it is. The plates don’t need the random speckled pattern but that is my preference. I would definitely return and recommend this restaurant.”
