    Great pizzas..cacciatorino and diavola are favourites. Service can pqtchy but that’s probably because it’s always busy. Kids meals are generous in size and the handout chips are popular with the young ones

    The food was fantastic, everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. The mortadella was amazing. Staff were good, a little more warmth and friendliness rather than pure professionalism would have added another star for service!

    From the second we arrived we were rudely told we had to vacate table in 1.5hrs. Then again once drinks were served and rushed the whole way through the meal. We departed within 50mins of our booking. It is our favourite local restaurant and so disappointed to be treated like that after all these years of going there.
