It was good but not exceptional. I had the home made cavatelli with local mushrooms which we all a... View all feedback. What LaurieO likes about Red Pump Kitchen:

The restaurant offers a mix of positive and negative experiences, with highlights including delicious food such as the carbonara pizza and homemade cavatelli with local mushrooms. The service, while attentive, can be slow and inconsistent for some diners. The ambiance is charming, and the outdoor garden setting is lovely. Overall, the restaurant offers delightful dishes like the beef tenderloin and coffee cheesecake, but some items like the garlic shrimp appetizer and bass can miss the mark. Despite these inconsistencies, the restaurant is still recommended for its excellent food, engaging staff, and pleasant atmosphere.

Great food , excellent service. When they didn’t have the wine we ordered, the sommelier recommended a great substitute.

Minimal menu with stuff that is not worth eating. I would not recommend the Red Pump to anyone who is actually hungry for real food.

We went very early, so as to avoid noise. Drinks, appetizers and (split) 10” pizza. All food was excellent, as was the service. We will go again!
