Sambuca Italian Restaurant

An old favourite! Australian son visiting so a must go!

The food was incredible and the staff incredibly helpful and friendly - when my daughter and my grandson wanted to split a pasta dish, the server brought an extra-large portion (no extra cost) so that both would have enough. Wondeful.

I love this place - always try to make a point of going when in area. Food great

Amazing pizza and lovely staff - thank you thoroughly recommended

The food and service and ambience here is just wonderful Favourite Italian Restaurant

We’ve eaten at Sambuca for years now. Lovely food and lovely people working there.

Staff friendly and food tasted like Italian food should . Will definitely return

We had the spaghetti and clams and lobster ravioli and they were wonderful. Just the right amount. And a lovely apple tart and vanilla for dessert. We enjoyed our visit tremendously-thank you!

Beautiful little italien restaurant, amazing food. Very friendly service. Loved it!

Hugo was a great waiter. Food was great as well.

Excellent service and wonderful food, we will be back soon

Very friendly staff. Very broad menu. Well presented freshly cooked meals.

A friendly welcome, delicious fresh food and tiramisu to die for. Will definitely be back.

Good food and friendly service. A high quality local restaurant.

As always, very good food and service. Always up to standard.

Table right near the front door Very cold in the pla w

Really friendly staff. Top notch food really recommend this place for food. little bit off the beaten track but worth it

When the four of us went in, we were the only people in, so it was very quiet. However, we demolished our food leaving 4 totally cleaned plates. Three of us had steaks, all with different, really tasty sauces (plenty of sauce, which I like) and one sea-food pasta. Two of us had dessert, one cheesecake and one with ice-cream and sambuca. Both were excellent, but special shout to my sambuca. Service was pleasant and friendly. It was our first visit, and it was a bit worrying to go into an empty restaurant, but we will definitely go back.

Lovely staff. Great and prompt service. Food was very good too!

Lovely meal tonight at Sambuca. Friendly staff made it an enjoyable experience.

Super home cooked food , friendly professional staff & warm ambiance 🌻

Super restaurant. Very welcoming with a great and varied menu. All 5 of us thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Presentation and taste was excellent. House white wine was very good. Including a tip £30 a head which was for a main meal each and garlic bread starter. We will be back.

Family birthday party. Very obliging and interested - and remembered us from a visit many years before. Oh and terrific meal!! Kids cleared their plates - unheard of!!

Excellent food and reasonable prices. Would visit again. Friendly atmosphere.

Food was delicious, clearly cooked with the freshest ingredients by someone who really knows simple yet classic Italian dishes

Excellent meal, thank you. Good service and needed to book for a Sunday night during festival time but definitely worth it

Pleasant staff, very accommodating. Small busy, noisy restaurant with good food, my penne putanesca was delicious, my friend's spaghetti vongole required more flavour.

Lovely restaurant, nice service with delicious pizza. You should go try if you’re around that area.
