Customer Review Summary
Diners consistently praise the seafood pasta with tomato sauce and the pizza dough, described as perfectly chewy, alongside the harissa chicken pasta and pan fried potatoes from the £15 lunch deal, called a bargain by more than one reviewer. The outdoor garden seating comes up repeatedly as ideal for birthdays, group events, and warm days, and several mention a complimentary limoncello capping off the meal. Service is repeatedly called attentive, with one reviewer noting staff adjust the menu for vegetarian ingredients and another describing attentive ice water refills during a heat wave, though one diner qualifies that servers are attentive "as long as it's not busy." A vegetarian couple notes the kitchen adapts starters, pasta, and desserts to their taste. No recurring complaints surface among these reviews. The experience closes repeatedly on servers going out of their way, one recalling a server organizing a group photo and another describing a server who offered menu recommendations that all turned out well.

“One of the few Italian restaurants that I've taken a liking to. Food quality to quantity was perfect for a very attainable price. The servers as long as it's not busy were very attentive and fulfilled requests swiftly. Most of all, I adored the environment and atmosphere. Have to say I was very impressed and will come back again.”

“It is quite an unexpected lunch. I ordered the harissa chicken and the smashed potatoes. Turn out, it is shell pasta with harrisa chicken (my bad I overlooked the word pasta). The potatoes are pan fried not smashed. No complaint. They are very tasty. With drnik, the lunch only costs GBP15. The heat wave hits us badly. The staff refill ice water for us very attentively. SO GOOD!”
