Perfect

We visited this restaurant twice within a week. The staff are so nice, polite and extremely helpful. And the food is fabulous. Piping hot, full of flavour and just perfect. If I lived in Ilfracombe this would definitely be my regular place to eat.

A proper ‘mom and pop’ Italian restaurant!

We’d prebooked this restaurant for our half term visit to Ilfracombe on the basis of good previous reviews. We certainly weren’t disappointed! The food was absolutely delicious. We stuffed ourselves and couldn’t fault the food or service (particularly the latter in these tricky times). It...More

We visited here for an evening meal, 2 adults and a 6 year old. The menu choices were standard Italian, pizza, pasta etc. They didn't have a Children's menu but will cook any pasta dish in a children's size bowl. Our food was delicious, very...More

Birthday Treat

This restaurant is a true gem, if you're looking for authentic Italian food. Cooked by Italians, served by Italians. The service was excellent as was the quality of the food, If it had been open on Monday night we would have eaten there again

Evening meal

Definitely have to book ahead and the reception is organised and Covid compliant. Plenty of parking nearby that was free after 6pm. Very friendly staff and there is a good range of food on the menu. Enjoyed our meals and would revisit.

Fabulous

This was recommended when asking around (I hadn't been to Ilfracombe since 1985, when you could only eat chips. chips and more chips)- and it is so so brilliant. Book it in advance(especially in these delightful covid-ridden times), they are busy! The food is amazing,...More
