You can't fault the food that comes out of the kitchen. First time eating here and I will be back. Friendly staff, nice atmosphere.
Visited for the first time and will definitely be back again. Atmosphere was so soothing and beautiful. The lady which is the manager with her husband is such an amazing kind humble soul. Me and my friend ordered chips, lasagne and a mushroom & onion pizza. We didn’t wait long as this place has fast service but every second waiting is worth it, the food was absolutely divine. You can tell it was freshly cooked and the pizza was a traditional Naples style pizza which I adore. The portions were huge and they definitely do have good quality food and ingredients. Best place ever. Thank you so much
We cannot tell you how great this place is! The service was wonderful - every single person was helpful, friendly and efficient. My husband is gluten free and I am dairy free and I’d heard great things about this place and it certainly lived up to my expectations. They were so helpful in explaining what I could have for main, and even had two flavours of DF ice cream. I felt really reassured by their attentiveness and confident they knew how to deal with people with intolerances. We all had pizza which was LUSH (so much topping!) and the fries were super hot and crispy yum. Honestly I can’t wait to go back because even without the brilliant catering for dietary requirements, it’s just such a lovely place with lovely staff.
Lovely friendly staff, eating area was clean & presented ok, Menu had plenty of choice, the lunch menu was confusing with prices & basic! Food was nice not awesome, more cafe food & restaurant prices. Toilets needed tlc, cobwebs etc actual toilet/wash basin was clean. Good gluten free options. Chairs cold & uncomfortable. Ordered cappuccino which came in a large latte mug. Little details lacking ie the Italian wow but with Italian price tag.
Wonderful food, freshly made with quality ingredients. Much of the food is available gluten free which is fabulous for me. My mum who is REALLY picky gives this place 5 stars. Amazing little cafe, not much to look at but soooooo worth a visit. Cake and puddings to die for and have won awards for. Really good menu wonderful people and good value with some decent offers if you pay cash. Highly recommended!!!! Xxx
Staff really friendly. Good portion size for the price. Delicious food and lovely atmosphere. First time visit and would definitely come again. Kids enjoyed themselves.
Another hidden jem. Lovely little Italian restaurant - very good service and friendly too. They have an extensive menu and what we had was extremely tasty with good sized portions. The tomato garlic bread we had to start with was so good it was to die for! Lots more on the menu I want to try. The wine was excellent too and good quality. The coffee is sooooo tasty. We will be back.
