"A lovely local restaurant, with amazing food both in house and for takeaway. It’s been our go to throughout all the lock downs and so refreshing to be able to pop back to the restaurant itself! Thank you :)"

"Great little cafe, food and drink is of high standard every time and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend"

"Let's start with positives. Ordering experience and delivery time was very good, especially for a Saturday eve. The the portion sizes were extremely generous. However. The food. Generally, a restaurant passes the "turing taste test" if it is better than what I, a non-professional cook, can cook - this relates to the underpinning principle of trade in a service economy - people pay others to do a better job than they can by themselves. As harsh as it sounds, this experience really failed in meeting this principle. The sauce of my ravioli itself was cloying and synthetic. The ravioli parcels themselves tasted stale, as if they had been defrosted and microwaved. I ate my meal through gritted teeth. The other pasta was oily, like really really oily - it was sitting in a puddle of oil which I had to siphon off into a bowl in an attempt to make the dish palatable. The sauce was supposed to be a pesto but this was not evident from tasting it. The chicken was evidently defrosted cubes that had the geometric semblance of tofu. It was a genuine displeasure to eat. The tricolore salad was bland, it did not have any seasoning, but at least it was "fresh" and could be seasoned to taste better. I see a lot of positive reviews here and I can only assume that somehow I was unlucky and got the slim pickings from the freezer after the restaurant ran out of food. I genuinely have had more enjoyable experiences buying frozen pasta from ASDA or just cooking for myself. 1 star for taste and an extra star for delivery speed, price and portion sizes."

"My favourite restaurant. Small, friendly local independent Italian, which is BYO in the evenings. Classic, simple menu which changes regularly, with daily specials. Food is consistently excellent and the cosy atmosphere makes it a great night out."

"What a welcoming lovely place to go! Great food and cakes. Freshly cooked and delicious pastas and pizzas breakfasts and snacks. We go there a lot everything service and staff very pleasant."
