    Food astoundingly good. Tastes even better than it looks. Spaghetti Neri con Gamberoni; black cuttlefish ink spaghetti, king prawns, garlic, chilli & cherry tomatoes. So good we forgot our wine, just.

    A busy Italian place, great for a dinner with friends. Portions are huge so better come here hungry. Definitely good value for money. Mushroom ravioli with truffle filling a winner for me.

    Excellent vegetarian options. Pizzas and pastas are all huge and delicious. Wear elasticated clothing because you’ll leave stuffed!

    Authentic Italian food, big portions and amazing service. Seafood is excellent and if you require any changes in a dish, it is not a problem. A bit busy and noisy but very cheerful and friendly.

    Once again another great diner out. Despite it being a busy Fri evening, staff made sure that my 8-month old daughter was comfortable seated. On top of that brilliant food as always.

    The spaghetti alle vongole is a winner. Fresh ingredients. Taste is light enough for you to finish the generous serving. Very friendly staff. Excellent service.

    Try the Fusilli Vegetariani, even if you're not a vegetarian ask for it with chicken. Lovely place with lovely serving 👌

    A bit less cosy than Il Bordello, but they serve genuine Italian food, and portions are huge.

    We were disappointed. The food was not authentic Italian, our pasta was poorly cooked (when some of the pieces are quite hard and stick together), and tomotoes in the bruschetta lacked flavour,

    Nothing. Guy that runs it is a drunk, he lets his customers behave like animals and employees illegal workers from Albania
