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.

Authentic Italian food and drink from Naples served by an Italian family. Everything imported from Naples to ensure the very best flavours of Italy. This means it is not a cheap dinner but I’d always rather pay for something special and the prices are competitive...and fair. Lovely atmosphere and friendly attentive staff. Perfect eveningMore

I went with a group of girls for my besties 50th birthday. The service was impeccable considering we were rather loud due to celebrations. I ordered a basil birthday cake for the event which was scrummy. I had a Diritas special pizza which has the...classic Italian thin base made with sour dough and fresh wet mozzarella. We all had a limoncello spritzer cocktail which was very tasty.More

My family and I are regular visitors to the Pizza/Pasta Restaurant in Di Rita's at No 2. May I firstly say that the service we receive everytime is exemplary and every request is tended to with dedication and politeness. Thank you very much to the...team. The food - what can I say? I have never tasted anything so delicious in my life. The pizzas are to die for and there is nothing better than Di Rita's Spaghetti and Meatballs when you are craving some comfort food. Prices are in line with similar restaurants. You must not compare this restaurant to any chain restaurant - the quality of the ingredients is simply superior and authentically Italian. Trust me - you do not want to miss eating at this restaurant. We cannot wait for our next visit!More

Amazing food, lovely venue and great service. You can eat in cheaper establishments, but you get what you pay for and if I'm eating out, then I want fantastic food and Di Rita's is a guarantee you'll get exactly that.

Delicious feshly cooked scallops, crème caramel, glass of house wine. The...inner man satisfied and composure resorted. Thank you!More

My wife & I stumbled across this restaurant whilst looking for somewhere to eat. Unfortunately, we won't be returning. The food is very overpriced, £15 for the thinnest Calamari sharing platter I have ever seen, 2 main meals, meatballs and spaghetti and a breaded chicken...breast and spaghetti which were expensive and very mediocre. The best of it was being charged £13 for 2 x orange juice and lemonades! To top it off the 10% service charge was automatically added to the bill without our knowledge, something I believe should be at the customers discretion based on the service they receive and the quality of the food. My fault, I should've checked the bill a bit more thoroughly. Needless to say, we won't be returning.More

Lovely little restaurant hidden at the back. Small menu, which I like because it generally means they do it well. Beautifully served and well seasoned. We’ll definitely return again. The carpaccio and scallops were amazing and the halibut with samphire and chicken & prawn dishes...were both lovely. Looking forward to trying the rest of the menu sometime 😋More

Went there for Sunday lunch with friends. My friend told me, this was the best Italian restaurant in town. I quite liked the easygoing athmosphere, the kindness of the staff, the availability of different types of dishes. I got a pizza and it was really...good must confess. All in all a pleasant experience. I also liked they had a selection of desserts, which you could take also home and a selection of Italian food products that you could buy.More

We came as a family for afternoon tea, this is something that has only been introduced at Di Rita’s and wow it was amazing! The food that was given were a selection of different freshly made sandwiches (rolls were baked on site). Salmon & cream...cheese, strong mature cheese and they made a beautiful vegetation Mediterranean vegetables. A selection of different cakes, scones, meringue, French fancies and even a chocolate shaped as a frog. We had to get some cakes boxed up to take home due to us being so full! Tom was our server and we couldn’t have been happier with his service. He was so attentive to our table, ensuring we were happy at all times, whether we wanted more tea etc. It was a pleasure to meet him! Thank you for such a lovely afternoon tea, it was perfect!More
