Delicious Sunday lunch served really quickly. Tiny drawback was that there was a lot of food so we asked for it to be boxed up to take home and once home realised not all if our food had been boxed up
Great Italian! 🇮🇹 Good food & great service every time. Been a regular celebration eatery for us since 2018/19. Atmosphere is lovely and their customer service go above and beyond to please. Thanks Eva and all the team! ⭐️
Great service. Waitress took very good care of us. The food came fast and nice decorated. Taste great. Calamari is good. Pasta just nice cooked. Use high quality ingredients.
We had been for a lovely meal and everything was fine. Staff were lovely except for one We asked for take away of sticky toffee pudding as my 7 year old was insisting he thought it was a good idea to put the hot sticky toffee pudding and ice cream together and literally threw the box on the table. We paid over £100 for a meal and he behaved as though we were eating free. Came home and have a disappointed 7 year old as the melted ice cream had messed up the whole dessert. He had just chucked the dessert in the box.
Food wasn’t so good this time around. Starter of potato skins were fine. But the main was a spicy chicken pizza which wasn’t even remotely spicy. All the vegetable toppings were still raw. Raw onion and peppers and what not. It was kinda soggy on the base too. I’ve had pizzas from here before which were nice but this time it wasn’t good. Chocolate cake for dessert. The portion size was stingy. And the cake was stale. One tiny scoop of ice cream. I ate a bit of the pizza and took it home and later threw it in the bin. The service was fine until the end. The waitress stood at the entrance for 15-20 mins chatting to her friends and stopped coming over. We had to get up and go to the till to pay and leave. Another table also got annoyed and had to get up and to pay and leave too. Maybe it was an off day?
