Reviews
I visited with my daughter and we really enjoyed the food, and most of the staff were very warm and welcoming. The only thing I was uncomfortable with was that one lady staff asked if we had finished our food around 30 minutes after serving. I responded by saying I was almost done and gestured towards my plate, but it felt a little early to be asked. Perhaps waiting until plates are nearly empty or giving a bit more time would make guests feel even more comfortable
Read on Google MapsBeautiful restaurant inside and out. Fantastic food, service was great and very affordable. No complaints at all, definitely would return and recommend it. Proper Italian carbonara (also offer the "British" version)
Read on Google MapsMenu is extremely unfriendly to vegetarians , there’s not even a symbol next to the dish and there’s nothing with mushrooms. There’s no veggie menu either. Dishes are very hit or miss, some are fantastic like the tomato pasta and others had no flavour at all. I also ordered the “Hand cut chips” and received absolutely enormous wedges about 1/4 the size of a potato with very thin skin on the outside. Music was also very loud as we were sitting in a corner right next to a speaker which the staff turned down to a very reasonable volume, only for it to be louder than when we arrived by the time we ordered desert. Espresso shot was burnt for my affogato.
Read on Google MapsWe stopped in for a family dinner and, once again, had an outstanding experience. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, full of flavor, and served in generous portions that left everyone satisfied. What really sets this place apart, though, is the service. Every time we come here, we’re met with the warmest welcome and incredibly friendly, accommodating staff who go out of their way to make sure everything is perfect. It’s always a pleasure dining here. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a consistently great meal and a genuinely enjoyable atmosphere!
Read on Google MapsGreat food and service, will be back to check out more of the menu. Staff were very friendly and attentive. The Cajun pizza was very flavoursome and cooked to perfection and the pasta dishes we had were sumptuous too.
