Great food - it seemed authentic Italian. Decor and chairs simple rather than luxurious. A coat rack would have been good as it was a pretty wet night. Good value for money.

Lovely atmosphere and very attentive service. My wild mushroom risotto was excellent and my partners vodka-cured salmon starter and main course sea bass were gorgeous. The wine was very reasonably priced, will definitely return.

First visit for lunch at excellent local Italian restaurant. Extensive menu supplemented by daily specials, from which both the sea bass and the crab ravioli with prawn and lobster sauce were delicious. Good wine list allows for appropriate matches, and also includes some half bottle options (ideal for solo dining or variations across courses). Will definitely return (and soon!)

as always - amazing food and service. We have ordered pizza, and 2 mains from 'todays special' list - pasta with smoked cheese and an amazing fish in Italian ham. Fish looked amazing on the plate and rice with prawns was great addition.

We arrived on time and were seated downstairs at the base of the staircase. We were the first ones seated downstairs and received excellent service and a a wonderful meal in every sense. I can recommend this place to anyone. My wife and I are elderly and stairs are hard going for us in both directions so the next time we visit this place, which will be soon, we will ask to be seated upstairs. I like this place very much and will be back as often as I can while in this area.

Really relaxed, pleasant atmosphere. Very good service - not overly enthusiastic, just the right amount of attention. Food was good, thanks to a strong specials board which made this a different Italian experience.

Starter and dessert very tasty. Mains ok. Splatters up the wall and generally tired decor off putting. Mother's Day treat with my son but no sense of a special occasion; felt very flat.
