This was a quick return after our first ever visit roughly a fortnight ago. On this occasion we brought family to enjoy the meals and atmosphere. We were not disappointed. Everyone enjoyed it. It was extremely busy and the owner and staff worked hard to accommodate everyone. The one thing I would say is that whilst staff are attentive, orders, bills, and/or drinks, can be forgotten when requested and need to asked for again. This is only a slight grip but it did occur as well on our first visit so perhaps this needs be to be addressed. Overall a splendid dining experience.

My friend and I dined early on a Saturday evening and the whole experience was fabulous. Lovely helpful staff, who did everything they could to accommodate a few additional requests, and the food was delicious. We will definitely return.

Good service. Delicious food. Can't wait to go again. Went years ago and was just as good this time. A little pricier than most Italian restaurants but I think it's better quality

Great food, excellent service. We are regulars and to be honest if it wasn't any good we wouldn't be back...but we've been regulars for the last 5+ years. Early bird offers are really good but we don't begrudge full price for the service and quality.

Yet another excellent meal with good service. We never feel rushed to leave the table even when the restaurant is busy. It's always good to catch up with staff we haven't seen for a while.

One of the nicest Sunday lunches we've had in a long while. So tasty. Meat and chicken gloriously tender. Service was slightly slow ,had to keep looking for waiter to press on but on the whole a lovely afternoon.

Very nice ambience - food was delicious but could have benefited from a wider selection of desserts! Plus I don't need to see the manager giving one of his staff members a right talking to in the corridor! On the whole a reasonably enjoyable evening! Viva Italia!

The food was delicious and good value for money, we enjoyed the variety of Italian classics with Sunday Roasts. The restaurant wasn't too busy which was nice but we were put in a very tight corner, under a speaker. All in all, we would definitely go back.

Booked on behalf of my better half for her and her friend. It was quiet as it was early Monday evening. The staff were happy for them to take their time ordering and eating while they had a good catch up. I got a takeaway pizza from the restaurant when I picked them up. It was wonderful.

Nice food & good service. The pasta was excellent but the pizza was a bit too doughy for us would have preferred it a bit thinner. Steaks that were coming out looked very good, will definitely be going back.

Really fast service, tasty food and good portions. Really enjoyed our meal, it was full of flavour and was good value for money. There was a good amount of choice on the menu with the classic Italian and dishes that were a bit different. Venue had a nice atmosphere for evening dining and wasn't cramped despite being a busy time.

Love this restaurant, which was a lucky find on a previous visit to the area. There is a great atmosphere, the staff are all friendly and efficient (although their rendering of 'Happy Birthday' won't win Britain's Got Talent!), but above all else, the food is fantastic, with authentic Italian dishes and a great range of wines to accompany the meal.

Very slow service, i had the seafood linguine which contained 3 prawns 10 mussels and some very rubbery squid. We were there 2 hours and there were only 3 of us and we only had two courses. They need more staff.

7 of us booked on Saturday night for 8.15 for my grandson's 14th Birthday. He chose the restaurant himself as we have always enjoyed ourselves on our previous visits. We were eventually shown to our table way after 9.00. Service was shocking. We had to ask if we could order drinks. Similarly we had to ask if we could order food as no one came to serve. There was no warm Italian welcome, no friendly waiters coming to the tables and no rapport whatsoever to us the customers. When the food finally came it was good. It was 10.50 before we finally finished the mains. We were not offered the choice of having a dessert nor the usual free glass of limoncello which others were offered. Obviously there were more diners than the staff could cope with. Although we have been to this restaurant many times over the years for birthdays, wedding anniversaries, Christmas etc. WE WILL NOT BE GOING AGAIN.
