Absolutely delicious, every bite was sublime! The staff were friendly and the service quick and professional. The highlight for me was the fried chicken and spaghetti, and the tiramisu. Cooked to perfection and the portions are generous. If you're in Surbiton and looking for Italian...food, this is the place.More
This restaurant is always incredible. Me and my family have been coming here for over a year now and every time has been better than the last. Very friendly staff, delicious food and a relaxed cozy atmosphere make this place one of the best restaurants...i’ve ever been tooMore
This family run Italian restaurant has reopened after a very well done interiors make over whilst they were closed. Under watchful eye of Alida it’s always a pleasure to visit. Great food and ambiance
Been going for years, had deliveries when allowed during covid. Such a friendly welcome and great food. Introduced friends and they love it.
Food's good with generous portions, wine's good and the service is absolutely brilliant - such lovely staff. This was out first visit and it won't be the last.
We’ve been several times before but always get great service and lovely food. Staff remember you from previous visits and are so kind towards my mother-in-law wh is currently 88 years old and finds going out quite an effort. You are not hurried to vacate...the table which is great. They have a lovely selection of Italian wines too. Definitely recommend a visit.More
Never disappoints, food is so tasty, atmosphere pleasant and lovely smiley staff makes a great evening
It’s a good sign when the restaurant is nearly full at 6.45 on a Thursday evening! Luckily they did squeeze my wife and me in. Others that hadn’t booked weren’t so lucky. The scallops and then the prawn dish were first class. It’s pricey but...worth it. All run under the expert hands of Alida.More
So often Italian restaurant means pizza or pasta only, but we were delighted with the other choices for our lunch. I ordered two dishes from the specials of the day, both needed careful cooking and I wasn't disappointed. Perfectly cooked scallops on a delicious risotto...followed by Calves Liver with creamed potatoes and vegetables and a lovely gravy. The liver was perfect, browned on the outside but tender and pink inside, this chef knows their business. Chris had an enormous starter of goats cheese and mediterranean veg followed by a big plate of salmon & pasta, full of flavour. We were very full but managed to share a chocolate cake from heaven even so. Portions were generous and we could have happily managed without the starters or just eating a starter and dessert. The restaurant is stylish and comfortable and the service is excellent. The Sangiovese by the glass was very drinkable. We had 2 generous glasses of wine and a vodka and mixer, and I think the cost including service was around £100. These days, considering we ordered the higher priced mains, felt very fair. I am so happy to support good restaurants like this in these difficult times. Leave enough time to find a parking space.More
My friend and I have come here a few times and I am consistently given fantastic service. Food is to die for and the people who work here are so lovely to chat to, really engaged in conversation and friendly.
Very rare for me to take the time to write reviews of places I've been, but this one warrants it. We had such a lovely time, 4 of us with 2 prams - potentially difficult to accommodate in a small venue, but the manager (owner?)...made sure we had a table with plenty of space and was absolutely delighted to welcome us in. We were not rushed at any point to order etc (which seems to happen more and more these days) and had a simply fantastic dinner. The food was incredible, service excellent, I can't believe we've only been here twice since moving to the area in 2020. We WILL be back soon!More
It was our first visit and we had a great evening. Lovely food, we had main course dishes of pasta, liver and sea bass. All were beautifully presented and tasted great. The Tiramisu for dessert was the best I have ever had! The service was...really good, very friendly and helpful with our choices . We will definitely be returning again.More
Couldn't resist - I chose the liver once again. But you can't beat calves liver cooked by an Italian! Delicious. Great service, again. And I am going back in a week - can't wait!
My husband and I celebrated our 24th wedding anniversary here. We were not disappointed. You need reservations, as the place is quite small, but we’ll worth making them. I had the beef medallions and can’t remember the time I had beef so tender. It came...with mash and veg. My husband had seafood linguini that was meant to be spicy but they adjusted the spice level for him. We shared a salad and calamari, which came out quickly and very hot. We had dessert as well for the special occasion. I had lemon sorbet which was just right after a rich meal. My husband had the tiramisu, which he said was incredible. We will definitely be going back again! And take away is available! Bonus!More
