Went on a Friday evening and basically they simply booked too many in and not enough staff, so service was dreadful. Waited 30 minutes to be seated then another 20 minutes just for drinks, went to the bar myself in the end. No vegtables were brought with main coarse untill the meat had gone cold. This was a similar story... More

The restaurant was in a state refurbishment and very plain with unfinished wiring all around! The service was helpful but the food was poor. My partner and I had bruschetta to start with mozzarella... More

Speechless. Me and my husband came here on Friday 30th Dec for the first time, and neither of us could believe just how truly awful this restaurant was. From the outside it looks quite pleasant, but once through the doors we were both gutted with our choice of restaurant booking. The fact that there was only 1 other couple there... More

We skipped on starters, and went straight for mains....Childs Pizza for my daughter, which was superbly cooked, and very generous.. Myself and my wife opted for Fillet Steak, which were both cooked beautifully. Accompanied with some of the best chips i have ever tried... More

We were seated upstairs on a table in the window overlooking the sea which was lovely. It was quite cold although the radiator was on. There were no decorations and... More

This used to be our go-to Italian, with its fantastic location (especially in the summer months) and excellent food, we were frequent visitors. This restaurant is far from bad, as some of the reviews would make it out to be, it really can be very good, but it can also be very average. It used to be a great option... More
