The calzone was soggy, little to no meat. We ordered two calzones for takeaway to be collected at 9pm. We arrived at 8.50 and they were ready waiting under the heater and when seeing the calzones it was obvious they’d be sat for a while. The calzone was soggy, little to no meat. Awful quality of food. Waste of money. Was also greeted rudely by the owner when collecting. Service: Take out

If your looking for a typical Italian restaurant then this may not be for you. Sandro, the owner is a truly lovely bloke and does all the cooking but he’s not the best at “front of house”. But let’s get on to the food. There is quite a large selection for such a small place ranging from the standard pizza, pasta and Italian dishes to a specials board. The prices are very reasonable and they now have a liquor license. Our last visit was a party of 11. We had a selection of pizza and pasta dishes plus a couple of starters. The food arrived together so that was a welcome treat and it was very nice. Generous portions meant some of us had food left on our plates (not me I hasten to add). My advice is to take it on face value. It’s great value, nice and intimate and local too. I have eaten at better Italian restaurants but I’ve also eaten at a lot worse. Give it a try, I think you’ll enjoy it. Ciao

It’s a shame as the other dishes looked tasty. I mentioned it was tough when he collected the plates and got no response. I was still hungry and work mates ended up giving me bits of their food.
