Customer Review Summary

Pasta is the most frequent draw, described as perfectly cooked and rich with flavour, with pizza close behind, including the creative pizza specials one diner noticed. Reviewers also praise the heavenly desserts, a steak that was bang on medium rare, and wine called incredible. Staff are repeatedly described as friendly, and several say the room feels like being in Italy. One calls it cosier than it looks from outside, and another credits the owner's attention at a family birthday meal. The criticisms are small and each appears once. One diner found the service efficient but a little abrupt. Another wished the potato portions with the steak were bigger, though they tasted great. A third found it hot inside on a very hot bank holiday, though the waiting staff coped and a large bifold window helped air circulation. One reviewer arrived before the kitchen had opened, and the server let them in out of the heat and brought cold water while they waited to order.

    “We had a wonderful family birthday meal here. Despite having fussy eaters, everyone loved the food; the staff were very friendly and helpful, and the music, decor and attention of the lovely owner made us feel like we were in Italy. We will definitely be back!”

    “The food was excellent but also the attitude of the guy serving us was spot on. Although he was still closed for 20 minutes when we arrived at the restaurant, he was understanding and he allowed us in and got us out of the heat. Got us the best table, cold water and allowed us to settle down until the kitchen was open and we could order the food. Speaking of the food, it was cooked very good, seasoned exactly right and serviced as you would expect in a 5 star restaurant. Compliments to the chef and well done to the people running this place. I will go back for sure as it was a very nice experience on a very hot day. Keep up the good work”

    “Burn Appetito is a true Gem. Friendly, attentive staff, varied comprehensive menu. Excellent food! Easily booked a table online! Everything was great! On the hottest May bank Holiday recorded, it was hot inside but the restaurant has the facility of a large bifold window at the front for great air circulation. The waiting staff coped very well with the heat! I strongly recommend that travellers give this lovely eatery a try! We were not disappointed”

    “We had a great afternoon here. Lovely environment, great staff. The food was very tasty, my steak was bang on medium rare, it can be very tricky finding a restaurant that gets the right temperature for steak, but they smashed it. The reason I gave it 4 star rather than 5, was the portions of the potatoes, as you can see in the pictures, they were very small, they tasted amazing so bigger portions would have been great. I would highly recommend a visit there! We will be coming back for sure.”
