Customer Review Summary
Diners repeatedly single out the homemade tiramisù as the standout finish, with several also praising fresh pasta dishes like the mushroom ravioli, seafood pasta, and a special lobster pasta described as the best meal one couple had in North Berwick. The venison pappardelle and calamari fritti draw similar enthusiasm from starters through mains, alongside risotto and pizza calzone. Reviewers consistently describe generous portions, a friendly, family-run feel, with two people believed to be the owners personally seeing to tables, and one diner recalling the owner offering to help with their baby. One visitor without a booking found the hosts accommodating despite a time limit on the table, though felt the music didn't match the Italian setting; another noted a short delay getting drinks served at the start of the meal. Most describe the wine list, including a pinot grigio pairing, as complementing the food well.

“Phenomenal dinner! We had the special lobster pasta and it was by far the most delicious meal we had in North Berwick, the service was also impeccable!!”

“Excellent. I had pizza calzone which was very good. My wife had the mushroom ravioli which was very tasty and was garnished with a Parmesan crisp. We have never seen this before in a pizza pasta place so very impressed with this”

“So kindly offered a table as we hadn’t booked with caveat of time restriction. Atmosphere music wise didn’t seem to match the designation of Italian restaurant. Hostess/front of house was very polite and courteous. After a mix up being …”
