Beautifully prepared, full of flavour and made with authentic quality Italian-sourced ingredients. You could really taste the freshness , passion and care that had gone into every dish. Exquisite!!!!! The service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, which made the whole evening feel relaxed and enjoyable. . 🇮🇹❤️ Amanda & girls xx”

  “This is undoubtedly the best restaurant in ilkley. The menu changes daily and they talk through the menu to tell you what each dish is. There are many stand out dishes, the lasagna is superb, and the fish is as good as I've had anywhere. Very popular, make sure you book!”

  “An absolute gem! Extremely good food and top quality, relaxed, professional service. It's a very good example of somewhere that appears to do something very well effortlessly whilst demonstrating clear skill and class. It's a small and intimate place and the buzz is electric. Every single dish in the fully booked second sitting for lunch today was clean - not a leftover to be seen anywhere. Everyone was clearly having a great time. Reasonably priced for sure for the quality and experience. I'm already thinking about when to go back!”

  “Local favourite that's cosy, friendly and family run for many highly successful years. A short blackboard menu is theatrically presented by the papa chef Luigi or son Gianlucca The food is superb, genuine Southern Italian. Service excellent, food comes promptly and always delicious. Vino list again Italian classics and to the point. Absolute local gem, well priced, reservations are recommended as that is often months in advance!”

  “If you want an authentic Italian atmosphere and experience, look no further! Staff are friendly and attentive upon arrival, Luigi takes time to explain all the meals on the menu, and you can see his passion for what he loves doing! Food is more than reasonably priced, portions are just right and it really is top notch! Looking forward to our next visit already...”

  “This place is sensational. Authentic Italian dining experience. It’s super cosy and the food is quite simply fantastic. The owner and chef Luigi comes out in to the restaurant and talks you through his menu, it’s a really special touch. Service is great, front of house team are really knowledgable and very friendly. Need to make sure you book in advance as it’s really popular and rightly so.”

  “Had wonderful Saturday lunch time, special menu: food, coffee and a glass of wine for £18.95. (extra it's not cheap) The menu features a range of classic Italian dishes with signature of "Italian calabrese taste"...even a little bit adapted.(pasta a little overcooked and lots of sauce). Nice personal introduction from a member of team , who explained the dishes of the day to everybody. Staff friendly. The place is rather small inside, but we enjoyed the atmosphere outside table. We will visit again in the future.”
