Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the steaks, with one regular naming the Rossini with "special peas" as a favourite, and pizzas, pasta, prawns in filo pastry and a seafood pizza also get mentioned. Close behind is the tiramisu, which one long-time diner says to save room for. Many describe fresh ingredients, sensible prices and a welcoming owner and staff, and one reviewer calls the specials board interesting, citing frogs legs on occasion. A hen party of 22 and a mother's birthday, where staff brought a slice of cake with candles, are held up as moments handled well. The complaints are small but specific. One reviewer left after finding the kitchen stingy with parmesan and offended when they brought their own, though they called the food otherwise perfect. Another notes the pizza bases are pre-made, though tasty and fresh, and one feels the decoration could be better. Several say they will return, and one diner mentions enjoying a decaf coffee alongside a shared bottle of prosecco that the server kept topping up.

“It has been a long time. When one is stingy with the parmesan cheese, and offended if you bring your own, it was time to move on. The "Italian" food was otherwise perfect.”

“Me and my husband wanted to take the grandchildren for a meal. My granddaughter loves Italian so decided on here. Food was brilliant. The grandchildren ate foods not tried before and both thoroughly enjoyed it. Cannot complain about the price too, so much value for money”

“Staff extremely welcoming and food was excellent. We shared a bottle of prosecco which was fairly priced and the lovely gentleman kept pouring it for us in our glass. I had a decaf coffee and enjoyed it and the person i came with had a normal coffee which he enjoyed. I had two courses and left extremely full but happy. The owner and all the other staff are very friendly and attentive and made us feel very welcome. Choices of vegetarian and meat options available so plenty of choice.”
