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.

We walked in & table was available ! It did get busier we were early ! We got a lovely welcome but we found the room temperature far too cold ( we remembered that from last time ) & so that was a significant problem...that we feel needs to be identified ! The food we chose was a minestrone soup , there was toast but we’d have preferred fresh bread … the other courses were a cod well presented but he felt too soupy & mine was a prawn spagettini really nice would have loved a couple of more prawns though but well presented ! The actual venue was well lit with fairy lights & decorations so that was well done ! We chose beer & a house rosez wine … another wee attention to detail is the waiters need to be more attentive to the tables (I used to be a waitress ) & I felt they need more eyes on the customers tables … the main thing is to get the temperature sorted not what you want for a meal out ! Ps a wee chocolat would have been a lovely touch with the bill …More

Heartwarming, Italian food for all the family through all the ages. Previously had a number of visits a few years ago when they were teenagers and it was great. There was always something to suit each one. A return visit now they are in their...20s and the food is just as great if not better. We'll be back much sooner this time.More

Unable to make reservations as 8 attempts to make a reservation by phone went unanswered. Not a very customer friendly approach. We went elsewhere. L Devin

food was of decent quality, but was surprised at the starter size portion of the pasta dishes we took. for 15£ pasta and sausage serving to fit in a tea cup was a little offsetting. was very tasty but made us actually make sandwiches at...home after to satisfy appetite.More

First time visiting this restaurant and couldn’t have been more disappointed. The owner was rude and aggressive towards myself and my mum. We headed for the toilet before getting assigned a table as they were busy and no one was on the door to greet...us. The owner followed us into the bathroom then psychically removed us and told us to get out, Without even asking if we were waiting to be seated. He pushed us out using force (with his hands) and proceeded to shout at us from the door as we walked away in disbelief. Never in my 22 years have I ever been treated this way when going into a restaurant. The disrespect this man has for customers it’s unreal. Will never be back and will advise you not to come to this place.More

Just perfect. Following my previous bad experience in another local restaurant we came for dinner here. It was just enjoyable. The hospitality given by the host and chef when we walked in was welcoming. Drinks and food was excellent. We ordered the two mussels dishes...and they were perfectly cooked . The mussels were plumped full of taste and flavour. The spaghetti de Mare was perfectly cooked and very enjoyable. Bill was not expensiveMore

Simply wonderful no other words to describe this gem of a restaurant. Food was so fresh and beautifully cooked and presented. It goes to show you how eager the owners are in making you feel valued and important to them, as my husband and I...hadn’t been there for nearly 2 years and Anna still recognised me and remembered me which was lovely. This is definitely one for a visit. We will definitely be back sooner this time. Thank you Sarah and David O’ConnorMore
