“ Sensible amount of menu choices. Great tasting food with a good portion size. Always enjoy my visits here. ”
“ Came here for my birthday in December. Great experience from before we even left the house! I phoned to say we were running late and was told not to worry and I'll get there when I get there and to relax. Which was just a really lovely touch, because I was stressing a bit. We had starters (including complimentary garlic bread) and mains and found the service to be excellent. The food was great. 2 of us out of the group of 5 adults are vegetarian and we found there to be enough options for us. My husband's cannelloni was the best - it was so tasty. We didn't have desserts from the menu, as my mum had brought a birthday cake for me. Franco said he's having a piece and he did! The desserts on the menu did sound good, though. Our 8 month old son was with us and the staff were amazing with him. The atmosphere was lovely and we have all said how nice of an evening we had and that we would go back. ”
“ Which a lovely place to go for food, lovely staff and the food was incredible. Couldn’t recommend more ”
“ Came here for a family birthday celebration and it didn't disappoint! The restaurant is really well decorated and has a warm and welcoming vibe to it. Considering we were a large party, service was excellent and we didn't have to wait long for drinks/starters/mains or dessert. Table staff were friendly and attentive - can't ask for more really The food was delicious. The portion size was also just right and I didn't have to be carried out in a pasta coma, always a good result. I tried the Tiramisu as dessert and it's one of the best I've ever tried, highly recommended if you have a sweet tooth. Would definitely come here again. Thanks all for a great evening ”
