Cons:

• "Though decorative dried pasta in jars in an Italian restaurant should have given away the quality of the food before we even ordered."
• "Pizza base was decent size though the coverage of the pizza with topping was inadequate."
• "The food here is terrible. I had the Carbonara and it tasted like water."
• "Squid rings had the consistency of rubber o-rings, clearly already cooked before they were even battered and deep fried."
• "The food was bad! The tomato soup was very sour and chunky — it’s a paste, not soup."
• "All three of us received pasta that was under-seasoned to the point of tasting bland, and noticeably overcooked, giving a soft mushy texture."

• "Service wasn't good and I've been up all night with sickness and diarrhoea."
• "Service was slow despite the restaurant being fairly quiet during our visit."
• "Ordered food from here from deliveroo, the driver went to the wrong location and when I rang the store the staff member laughed and said that someone else is going to get some food for free, poor service and attitude."
• "shocking service, nearly 30 minutes with no drinks order taken."
• "Service was very very poor, staff were on their phones and one was even eating pizza crisps out the bowl then continuing to serve others, awful hygiene!"

Value for Money

Pros:

• "Really nice place, although a bit pricy, however you definitely get what you pay for!"

• "The food was delicious and plenty and of great quality."
• "Affordable too!"

Cons:

• "Our bill was wrong on their first attempt. Again it took them so long to correct it."
• "Good food but by our surprise bill was blotted with extra £3 charge for chicken in Caesar salad (should include chicken anyway)."
• "MASSIVE RIP OFF!"
• "When you pay nearly £17 for a pizza and then they’re asking for £1 for a tiny smidge of mayo dip on top I think it says it all."
• "Expensive and average... Just overpriced low quality food sadly."
