Customer Review Summary

Diners repeatedly single out generous, flavorful cooking as the draw, with standout mentions of calves liver bacon and mash, a cannolo siciliano dessert, and dishes like baked eggplant with cheese in tomato sauce and lobster and crab meat lasagna. Close behind, the staff draw consistent praise for being accommodating and friendly, several describing celebrations (an 80th birthday, a 60th anniversary, Father's Day) where the team put up banners, brought out cakes, and looked after tables with kids. Reviewers also note generous portions, clean and comfortable surroundings, and a busy, popular atmosphere on weekends. One diner, however, felt the atmosphere and treatment of families with children left a lot to be desired, a notable exception amid otherwise strong service reports. One returning family, celebrating a birthday, mentions plans to book again for a larger family party.

    “First time dining here. A friend's 80th Birthday Dinner, it was absolutely brilliant iced water waiting on the table as we entered, [very grateful as 34 degrees outside] air conditioning working but just enough to keep you comfortable superb thank you. I had the Sardines to start and followed by the Calves liver bacon and mash superb melt in the mouth. Finished with a very sharp lemon sorbet and black coffee my end to a very hot but very beautiful day Happy birthday John they saw and treated you well We are going back to arrange family party.”

  • Mirko Piconese
    “The food was so good that I didn’t even have time to take pictures of the starters or the mains, that says it all. Here’s the dessert of the day: a delicious cannolo siciliano! The staff were incredibly accommodating, making sure we had a great table for our kids and taking excellent care of us throughout. They deserve more than 5 stars. Highly recommended!”
