Really disappointed and nobody asked about the meal even though half the lasagne was left and sangria not drunk, don’t waste your money go else where !!!

We hadn't booked but a table was made available for us very quickly, although I would recommend booking as later on a queue was forming outside and some people were turned away, we got lucky. The staff are absolutely wonderful, very friendly and attentive. The food was delicious, we had garlic pizza bread between two of us to start then gnocchi quattro formaggi and spaghetti al frutti di mare. As a vegetarian, I had quite a few dishes to choose from, settling on cheesy gnocchi because HELLO carbs and dairy, yes please! My only very minor gripe is that the portions are absolutely huge and a little overwhelming. However, you absolutely get more than your value for money here, seriously. My only recommendations here are, definitely book a table just in case and consider whether you can manage a starter before a huge plate of pasta. We will definitely be back for more, 100% would recommend.

Staff were lovely and the was a real authentic Italian air about the place. My companion had the garlic bread and ravioli and loved it. Would go again.
