   Despite booking for standard seating, was given seats at the bar. Food below average. Really loud environment.

   Hands down the worst dining experience I’ve ever had. If you’re thinking of eating here — don’t. I went for my birthday and honestly, I wish I stayed home. The food was an absolute disgrace. Nothing was fresh, everything tasted like it had been pulled out of a freezer and microwaved. We ordered garlic bread — no garlic, just rock-hard frozen bread. We paid an extra £4 for mozzarella, making it £10.50 for something that I wouldn’t even feed to a stray dog. The staff clearly couldn’t care less. We had someone on crutches and still, they refused to move us to a more accessible table. They rushed us to leave by 6 PM, claiming another booking was coming — yet when we left, that table sat empty. Nothing but lies and attitude. To make things worse, they shoved us next to the coat racks, so while trying to gag down the terrible food, we constantly had strangers leaning over us to grab their coats. Absolute chaos. Staff were rude, slow, and seemed like they hated every second of being there — honestly, same. The place was filthy too: dusty spider webs hanging over our heads, like a horror movie set. Prices were outrageous for the garbage they served. It’s insulting they even call themselves an Italian restaurant

   A wonderful little restaurant that really itches that traditional italian scratch. Owners will go above and beyond to make you comfortable, food is well priced and authentic tasting. Overall a really good experience

   Food was lovely and the servers were fantastic with us. Claudio was amazing with us, gave us both a free shot/pallet cleanser and was very friendly with both of us! Will definitely be back!

   Food was absolutely delicious as promised by the people who had recommended the place. Couldn’t fault the quality and standard. Beautifully cooked. The restaurant itself is very small and the tables are all high with stools which is uncomfortable when you’re only short like me and my Mum. The tables are very small so it was a real squeeze to get the food on alongside drinks. There was one shared toilet for patrons and it was a little grubby on the floor and untidy. The staff were quick to serve but the younger of the staff weren’t very smiley or approachable and were quite brisk in their approach to us. Older staff were lovely, happy and friendly. Would recommend food but just a little uncomfortable and didn’t feel inclined to stay for dessert because of that although it all sounded delicious.
