Customer Review Summary
Reviews split sharply on service. Two diners praise the sirloin steak with chips or new potatoes, and one enjoyed a pinot grigio and good-sized portions with pleasant, unrushed staff. Others report a three-hour visit with one course, a pizza described as greasy with minimal toppings, garlic bread that never arrived, and a Pizza Bella missing its chorizo and parma ham. One says staff never approached the table.

“I ordered Pizza Bella which arrived with no chorizo, no rocket salad, no baby spinach, no pesto, no parma ham. I ordered the bruschetta, which was the saddest bruschetta I have ever seen or unfortunately tasted. It arrived with no plum tomatoes (salad tomatoes instead) and no basil. I ordered 2 mini tiramisu pots! Instead, two tiramisu 'cheesecakes' arrived. Well, that's what I thought at first. Now after tasting, it is probably a caramel lotus cheesecake with a soggy bottom - I guess???”

“Disappointing, so slow. Service and food were both extremely SLOW. Especially when they were so quiet! Waiting staff are always polite and lovely. We sat down at 7pm and left at 10pm, only had one course. Pizza was overloaded with cheese and greasy, toppings were minimal. We had to go to the bar to ask for drinks and sat with left over food and dirty plates for 30-45 minutes. A side of garlic bread never arrived and we cancelled our dessert order as it took forever. A desperate lack of management. We had a similar experience a few months ago, but thought we would give it another go. We wont be going back.”

“A very compact Italian Restaurant. Menu quite modest, but I should think that everyone would be catered for. I can recommend the sirloin steak which is excellent and is served with chips or if you prefer with new potatoes. 3 of us had this …”

“DREADFUL experience. The restaurant was not even that busy, we booked a table for 8pm for only 2 of us. After we had our orders taken, that was it. No interaction from any service staff who didn't approach us once. We were sat down for just …”

“Very enjoyable dinner in relaxing surroundings. Dinner was very tasty and good sized portions. Not massive lists on menu to choose from, but happy with choice available, just enough for appropriate variety. Pinot grigio wine we selected was very good. Staff were very pleasant, attentive without fussing too much over you. Patient with our group who, as last ones in the restaurant, spent a long time chatting, but we weren't rushed out. Visit was during 2018 summer heatwave and restaurant was very warm, could do with some ceiling fans if air conditioning can't be installed. Even so, really enjoyed dinner here and likely to return with the family sometime. Don't forget to like my review 😆”
