Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Been here a couple of times. Staff are great as is the service. Food is generally very good, though some of the pizzas are a bit heavy on the mozzarella and not enough tomato sauce for my liking. Not the cheapest but has a very...good atmosphere and ambience. Usually very busy so may need to book.More

First time visit, will definitely return. We popped in yesterday evening had starters followed by pizza, pasta, chips and a bottle of house wine. Service and food were excellent and the ambience was great. Although it was very busy, the service was efficient and friendly....I'd recommend trying here if you haven't been before.More

First visit here , sent e.mail booking , but none recieved ,did get a table .6-15 on Sat eve. Nice place/ atmosphere ,very nice staff , Little bit cramped though. We both had chicken , 1 with Doleselate & one with French mustard / brandy,...We both thought being honest the chicken wasn't brilliant , the doleselate sauce was better than the the other , mine just tasted of very strong garlic , & repeated on me for the rest of the evening. Nice bottle of Montepechano , the only thing i wasnt 100% happy about was a service charge ( for one course ! ) I had that taken off . Would go again, but not in a hurry.More

I don't know if there's a new /different chef on duty but it is the first time I have been disappointed with a meal from here. All 3 dishes were inedible. The prawn cocktail used very obviously frozen prawns which were chewy, made the dish...watery and were flavourless. The bruschetta was incredibly disappointing and covered in dry oregano instead of the fresh basil advertised, had one very small sliver of onion, soggy bread and past their best mushy tomatoes. The calamari was limp, soggy and on a bed of soggy, wilted hot lettuce. Very disappointed.More

Very good food. Excellent service. The lighting is very bright which is not conducive to a relaxing evening. A few candles maybe?

We have been here to eat quite a few times recently, both on our own and with friends. What a superb find. Friendly service, great food and a lovely relaxed anbience. Love their Carbonara and the Spaghetti Vingole is the best. We'll be back again...very soon! Good idea to book though. Understandably they do get busy!More
