Great Italian place. Very friendly service and homely atmosphere as well. We would go back again for sure to try the other dishes.
Great neighbourhood Italian. Pizzas fresh, pasta tasty, and tiramisu was great example (8 out of ten). Brilliant staff and service. Will be back
Lovely workers, they made our pizzas before the restaurant opened and were so kind. The pizza was delicious, perfectly cooked and made. The owner even gave us some biscuits which were very delicious as well.
We attended a few weeks ago after not being for a year or so. We used to really love it here but it has deteriorated drastically in standards. This i believe is reflected in how busy it used to be and how relatively quiet it always seems to be now. Most of the food was OK but not the standard it used to be, the potatoes side was burnt to the bottom of the dish and the rest of the potatoes were undercooked. The waiter who served us had an unusual attitude, it almost felt as though we were an inconvenience. She refused to walk behind our seats in order to pick up and clear the plates and asked us to pass her them to the end of the table. I've never had to do that before, and having worked in hospitality for 10 years it is not something I have ever done. As it approached 9:30 it was clear they wanted us out, so the music was turned off, the staff were banging around clearing ur glasses and generally making it very obvious we were no longer welcome. I could understand this if we were staying way beyond closing time but we weren't and we were clearly almost ready to leave anyway. We were made to feel unwelcome which is the complete opposite of the atmosphere that this place used to have. I hope this improves as it is a local restaurant that we once loved.
Similar to some other reviews, we’ve been coming here for years and used to really enjoy it. However, we’ve noticed a slip in standards, particularly with the service, the last few times we’ve been. Unfortunately, we have just been for the last time. We arrived to an empty restaurant at around 5pm and yet still the waitress seemed uninterested. Granted we have three young children, who obviously could always be better behaved, but it was almost like she’d made her mind up about us as we walked through the door. Shame, because the food isn’t bad.
