  • "Ordered the garlic flatbread, side salads, pizza, and a rotini and risotto seafood dishes, all of which were beautiful presented and well flavored."
  • "The most amazing muscles! So fresh and delicious. Chilean Sea Bass, shrimp and muscles with new potatoes. Lasagna freshly made and very tasty."

Cons:

  • "The ‘apparently excellent’ calamari was incredibly tough and the Caprese was remarkably basic per the photos."
  • "Food is made for local people who haven't travelled but want to feel posh for a night. This food is not Italian."
  • "Frozen prawns, cream EVERYWHERE, overdone steaks, lasagna that tastes like a school canteen lasagna."
  • "The duck was dry, the food had too much cream and bread. Great Italian food is simple ingredients but great ingredients, there was too much extra and not enough quality."

  • "The food, which is one of Italy’s most basic dish (carbonara) I had ordered was made with .... Bacon lardons, not exactly subtle Italian cuisine."
  • "Very overpriced food, quality of food was not memorable. I've have better takeaways."
  • "Had to send scallops back as full of grit to have them returned burnt. Monkfish for main, lovely fish shame rest of meal was so salty you had to drink to get it down!"
