Wonderful Italian restaurant in Surbiton. Mushroom Ravioli had the best sauce I have ever tasted. Calamari was fresh and great texture. All dishes were well presented. Would definitely go again. Service was attentive and pleasant.

Excellent service and good food at reasonable prices. Winning combination.Difficult to find fault so why try. Atmosphere was excellent last Saturday but the restaurant emptied quite quickly so we had to party on elsewhere. Always a sign of a good evening.

Excellent king prawns starter and main courses of lobster totelloni. Yummy desserts of chocolate mousse and panna cotta. Good house wine, friendly service and very reasonable pricing. This is my favourite restaurant in the area; so much better than the chains!

Food and service were as good as usual. The bill was quite large but that was due to one of my children having expensive tastes.

The service was good and the staff were fine about the fact that two of our party were half an hour late. The food was delicious and the wine excellent. We all had a thoroughly enjoyable evening.

Great ambience. The pasta and seafood dishes are probably what I recommend the most. She obviously means well, but a couple of times I've been, one waitress was so friendly that it almost felt intrusive. A great local restaurant. A pity it doesn't open on a Monday though.

Pleasant surroundings, nervous staff and mediocre food. The bruschetta promised a better main course than I got, the flatten chicken, which was bland tasting and unappetising to look at. The wine, Gavi, was not cold enough. All in all a mediocre experience.

Very Friendly atmosphere and excellent food. But we ordered best wine and had to wait for a long time for food to enjoy with it. Slow service and perhaps some bread on table would help.

Food very good and service very friendly. One minor disappointment was the side dish potatoes ( £1.95 ) which were a little plain and dry
