This was my third visit and have had very good experiences previously. This time I was waiting for at least 15 minutes for someone to offer water and had to call waiter over to order drinks. Otherwise food arrives very promptly and good portion sizes for mains. Will definitely come back because the pizzas look great.

Lovely friendly, typically Italian, welcome. Seated in the terrace which was just beautiful, with ambient music and a perfect temperature, even though it was "outside". They were all attentive, the food was magnificent and the children were well catered for.

My second time here, and I’m quite disappointed. The service was slow, the table we were sat at had aircon right above so we were freezing. It was a cold day too. We found some plastic in our broccoli. Just a bit mediocre all in all

The pizza here is really excellent and the way they have constructed the undercover / part-outdoor section at the back (still toasty warm) makes it a different and pleasing atmosphere. Service was excellent too,.

A tonic for the spirits – modern food with a heartwarming, traditional soul. The pumpkin and truffle arancini were crisp, rich, snugglingly truffly. Just one highlight among the lamb, crab and squid dishes we enjoyed. All served up with genuine, enthusiastic service. Only one quibble: my friend is allergic to cheese and 90% of starter/mains seemed to contain it – some more cheese-free dishes would be great. The garden setting made us feel we were abroad – lovely!

Even tho the restaurant was busy the staff were very welcoming and worked hard to give a good service. The food was delicious, definitely recommend the arancini. The pizza dough was absolutely amazing and The tiramisu was very authentic. Any lover of proper Italian food should come try
