I have been here a few times and although the food is nice and reasonably priced, the place is always full of obnoxious students. The climb up to the restaurant is also ridiculous, and is not suitable for people with walking difficulties. I would recommend this place for groups of friends looking for a cheap eat and a refreshing drink.

Have visited this restaurant many times. We are a family of four and it's getting increasingly expensive to eat out but the prices here are very reasonable and the food is always great.

I went to La Spaghettata for an evening meal and it was very pleasant overall, the staff were courteous, the atmosphere was great (during the university holidays so it was just pleasantly busy) and the food was delicious. We were given large portions sizes and the prices represented good value, i thought the free salad bar was really good aswell.... More

After a few successful visits with friends I visited on my own and was in for a shock. They couldn`T have made it much plainer that they would have preferred that I wasn`t there. I waited for a very long time and then was given a table that was quite literally (I don`t use that word lightly) squashed into a... More

We went on a saturday night and fortunately didn't have too long to wait before a table became free. This isn't cosy, quiet dining - there is a bustle and chatter about the place - but the service is quick, the food is good and the prices are reasonable. I was disappointed by the poor salad bar from which you... More

Went here with my partner on a busy Friday night and we were very happy we found this place. It took about ten minutes to be seated, which we'd expected really given that it was peak time. We were pretty hungry so were very happy to see that the house wine came with a free garlic pizza bread! The portion... More

Visited here after a recommendation - and had one of the best Italian meals in years. Very humble, cosy atmosphere - yet the food is fantastic and unbelievable value for money. Ordered mussels for starter - certainly wasn't expecting 26 of them!! Despite how busy it was, the service was very quick & everyone in our group had a great... More
