Customer Review Summary

Diners most often praise the service, with several describing waiters and servers who were friendly, fast and helped with dish and wine choices. The food is the close second draw: carbonara and spaghetti with meatballs, a meat feast pizza, dips and a fruit smash cocktail all get favourable mentions, and a few call the portions generous. One reviewer found the carbonara a little oily and wanted more sauce, though still had nothing to complain about. Several mention visiting before a theatre show, and a couple note regular special offers, with one suggesting checking the app or website for them. The one strongly negative review concerns a delivered order: a lasagne that arrived cold in a small portion, watery and broken apart, with mushy meat, and a Pasta Bolognese ordered alongside it. That reviewer said it looked nothing like the layered, béchamel and cheese lasagne pictured on the menu and felt it was poor value. Others close on returning, with one saying the meal felt served from the heart.

    “Service was efficient and friendly. The portion sizes were very generous. We had 3 courses so we had a great selection of the menu. The food was excellent and we really enjoyed our lunch. Our waitress Vicky ticked all the boxes - could not have been better. I would like to express our sincere gratitude especially to her and will be forever repeat customers! Many thanks Carolina”

    “Extremely disappointing experience. I ordered Pasta Bolognese and Lasagne, and I honestly cannot believe the quality of what I received. The lasagne alone cost £17.49 and arrived completely cold, with a portion so small it looked more like a child’s meal. Worse than the size was the quality. The lasagne was watery and completely broken apart, the meat was mushy and over-minced with a very unpleasant smell, and the food did not seem fresh. I tried it but simply could not eat it. What I received also looked nothing like the lasagne advertised on the menu. The advertised dish shows a proper lasagne with layers, béchamel and melted cheese. Mine looked completely different. I have photos of exactly what was delivered. For £17.49 for one lasagne, I expected a hot, fresh, properly prepared restaurant meal. Unfortunately, what I received was nowhere near an acceptable standard. Very poor quality, extremely disappointing and absolutely not worth the price.”

    “Had dinner late evening at this place with my partner, when it was a little more quiet. Had an excellent time, our waiter was very polite and attentive to us and he made sure our food was good. Food and price was great. Will definitely come back again”
