Customer Review Summary
Most reviewers return for the Italian food, with garlic bread topped with mozzarella and the trio of bruschetta singled out as starters, alongside mains like Chicken Stroganoff. The friendly, family-run atmosphere and spotless dining room come in close behind, and several mention the staff making children feel welcome. A few note that booking ahead is wise, as walk-ins during busy periods have been turned away.

“Incredible value for money, delicious food and friendly staff. Highly recommend!”

“This is the second time of eating here. Been passed loads of times and never been in. Our usual Italian let us down a while ago so we tried here and wow, the food is amazing. Have to have the garlic bread with mozzarella to start (we added mushrooms), trio of Bruschetta and both of us had the Chicken Stroganoff for the main. The place is spotless and the staff are brilliant. We’ll definitely be back.”
