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.

Don’t have the risotto..chef obviously cannot cook that…otherwise fairly average but not reflected in the prices. My advice….be select in what you choose off the menu.

Went here to celebrate my mum's birthday, food was excellent, staff were excellent and very friendly. The only let down was that they had run out of an Italian brandy my husband wanted. Would definitely recommend and we will be back so get that brandy...in!More

It is very rare that you have the table for the evening, booked for 7, had it until we left at 10.00pm. You are not rushed here. Attentive staff who know the right time to check on you. Food absolutely delicious. Do not usually go...out for Italian as they are usually very average. But will definitely visit here again, already planning my next visit with family this time. Just one critique, some of the seats are too big for the tables so had to have one leg either side of the legs which isn't ideal, but had a bar for me to put my feet on, so that helped. Overall, a lovely clean restaurant with great food and friendly staff.More

Celebrated my wife's 40th birthday in the private room upstairs, there was 30 of us in total and everyone really enjoyed the night, the food all came out together and was really hot, no complaints from anyone, it was all delicious. A special thanks to...both Ed and Kev and also to all the staff who looked after us on the night, really could not do enough they were all amazing, so once again thank you for helping make my wife's 40th a night to remember with all her family and friends. We have been here many times before and will definitely be visiting many times in the future, first glass service and food at a reasonable price.More

We hosted my sister’s Baby Shower over the weekend at L’Aquila. We had a private dining room and there were 27 of us in total. The room was lovely and available to us to set up a few hours earlier. The service was amazing, all...of the staff couldn’t do enough for us. And the food was amazing, all came out at the same time and was hot. We had a set menu but there were plenty of options. I would definitely recommend L’Aquila and we can’t wait to go back in two weeks for one of our friend’s Baby Shower’s.More

Lovely food and service. Disappointing that our table was booked for 3pm and doors opened at 3pm on the dot. Just felt it should have opened at least 15 min before the booking.

Restaurant looks amazing. Tastefully furnished & spotlessly clean. Service was excellent and we were well looked after. Duck was the best I have ever tasted. You must eat here, you won’t be disappointed
