My family have been coming here for years and we have never had a bad meal/experience. The food is always top notch, reasonably priced and fresh. The service is always 10/10, nothing is ever too much & they’re always so friendly. My family and I absolutely love coming here. Thank you for always looking after us - The Booths

I came here a few years ago, and remember it as one of the nicest meals I’d ever had, so was excited to return. It’s a lovely looking restaurant, but felt a bit like a cafe this time. Only one man serving, only 2 other couples eating. Functional rather than friendly service. Food disappointing-calamari not fresh, bruschetta was just cheese on toast with a tomato on top. Pizza looked like a £1 frozen Asda type. My seafood tagliatelle was bland with a few frozen prawns. No care in presentation. Won’t return as there are much better Italian places in Chester. Really sad!

I had the pleasure of dining at a restaurant that exceeded my expectations in every way. Despite its unassuming exterior, the interior of the restaurant radiated an incredibly cozy and inviting atmosphere.The highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the fillet steak we ordered. What impressed me the most was the fact that, despite our group of five each requesting different levels of doneness, the kitchen managed to flawlessly accommodate our individual preferences. Each steak was cooked to perfection, tender and juicy, and surpassing our expectations and showcasing the chef's culinary expertise.The restaurant also stands out for its affordable prices, which pleasantly surprised me given the high quality of the food, comfortable ambiance, and excellent service. It truly offers great value for the dining experience it provides.Overall, my experience at this restaurant was exceptional, and I can confidently say that I will definitely be returning. I would highly recommend to others.

I went here with a group of friends (8 of us in total). The staff were fabulous and as entertaining as we were. The food was more than delicious and extremely well priced. It's a shame I live so far away otherwise this would be a very regular visit ! Book, you won't be disappointed ?

Out of the way comfortable Italian experience, very much like a Trattoria. The service and ambience are very good, with good quality well prepared food. Nice and tidy inside with maybe a slight refresh needed in the gents…but only a niggle. Prices are keen considering the home cooked quality. On my list for a return visit.Kid-friendliness: Seems family oriented

Chose this restaurant due to the good reviews and we were not disappointed . It is a little way away from the centre but worth the visit and much better than the pricier establishment where we dined on our last visit. We were warmly welcomed on arrival and chose from the extensive menus and specials. I had cauliflower and cheddar soup and my partner had avocado with rose marie sauce to start , both excellent. Mains were duck and fillet steak, perfectly cooked to our requirements . Some of the nicest food we've had in a long time and the service was good , with the waitress providing a friendly, prompt and efficient service.

Beautiful place, wonderful staff. Atmosphere is superb. Very accommodating, service is fantastic.
Great food, very busy restaurant we had to send the drink back as it was in a dirty glass and had a chip. To then receive the same glass with same chip but clean. If it’s chipped it’s ready for the bin. Still it’ll it’s great food and mistakes happen

From the outside the restaurant doesn't look very inviting but once inside you're transported into a very traditional Italian restaurant.From being seated you're made to feel part of the family, the atmosphere is perfect. The menu is vast and has so much to choose from we can't wait to go back.

Lovely friendly staff. Great variety of dishes to choose from. All served promptly and piping hot. Good value for money.

We found this restaurant on TripAdvisor during a short stay in Chester. The decor was very nice and the waitress very welcoming. We ordered a bottle of delicious barolo which was reasonably priced. The starters were good and we were happy. My husband's chicken was alright - nothing special. I ordered pasta marinara and I would say it was the absolute worst seafood marinara I have ever had! The menu describes it as prawns, mussels and squid. There was a very small quantity of tiny tastless prawns and mussels and two small unrecognisable tastless lumps of rubber which I assume was the squid. Then there was lots of cheap seafood sticks chopped into the dish!! The tomatoes and garlic was barely cooked tinned tomatoes, also tastless. For £13 I expect juicy prawns, mussels and squid. Not cheap crab sticks. The waitress didn't check whether the food was alright or I would have sent it back. She was on her own and the restaurant was busy. I picked out the seafood and ate some of the pasta. I did complain and we were not charged but it meant also that I hadn't had a full meal. When paying I questioned the inclusion of crab sticks and she said that's how they always serve it. I said that's not what's on the menu. I also said I would have expected some prawns and mussels in the shells and the reply was that people complain about shells. Surely anyone ordering seafood know about seafood shells?
