Diners most often praise the Italian cooking itself, with the calzone, the Penne Al Forno and the tiramisu named as standouts, and the garlic mushrooms starter and tomato garlic bread close behind. Several mention the complimentary breadsticks, dip and olives, and one describes the meatballs and a seafood risotto as hot and tasty for a table of twelve. Staff are repeatedly called friendly, and a few say they made a birthday meal feel special. Some visitors from out of town say they would return or already did.

“Visited here whilst on holiday (from Scotland) and it's hands down the best Italian food I've ever had! The staff are really friendly and the food quality was amazing! I would definitely recommend and if we're ever in the area again we'll definitely be back in! Absolutely fantastic!”

“Over-cooked, tough, ribeye with over-cooked veg along with poor service, all for £35. I’d prefer to go to ‘Spoon’s and pay less for a better experience!”

“Wow one of the most authentic Italian restaurants I've been to the food was brilliant staff where very friendly. Tiramisu was so good the right amount of coffee. Unfortunately only down visiting the area or I'd have said I'd have been back. If I'm back in the area I'll be back in this little gem. Thanks guys. Update I went back it was that good my last nights dinner was a return.”

“The best restaurant on the Fylde coast! The food is served so quickly and it is delicious. The staff are very friendly and attentive. I have been going to this restaurant for years and the standards have never slipped. I love the complementary breadsticks, dip and olives! 100% recommend the Penne Al Forno and Garlic Mushrooms (starter)”
