The court heard how inspectors found rotting, mouldy and out of date foods at the premises. The premises were not adequately pest proofed, equipment and rooms where food was prepared were dirty and large accumulations of rubbish, grease and dirt were observed within the rear yard.A share as I'm fed up with this kind of establishment who have the trust of the people they serve to bring them decent and safe food. 3 times you have been warned ! Get out of this business !!!

Just fined 25k for rotting food and piles of rubbish. Given plenty of chances to get it right. Stay far away.

Avoid.Menus are dirty sheets of A4 paper. Key ingredients out of stock. Food bland and overpriced. Kids food an absolute insult to children. Manager more interested in bullying his new member of staff and making sure no customers go anywhere near the bar (very strange obsession) than actually getting on with sorting this car crash of a restaurant out.Unsurprised to later discover it has a 1 star hygiene rating.

The food is bland, and overpriced. Definitely came straight out of a microwave which is extremely disappointing considering that Italian food isn’t difficult to make. Paid £75 for 3 main courses and a kids meal and soft drinks. Won’t be returning!

I was quite disappointed with the experience. The decor is very outdated and the waitress was friendly to begin with but seemed bored. We opted for dishes from the tapas menu to enjoy a variety. Our selections included meatballs, garlic bread, grilled vegetables with mozzarella, aubergine layered lasagna, chicken wings, patatas bravas, and a child-sized portion of spaghetti bolognese.Starting with the meatballs, we received four ping pong-sized meatballs in a lackluster sauce that resembled frozen ones in taste. The chicken wings were overcooked, dry, and unrecognizable. The aubergine layered lasagna seemed to have suffered a mishap during transit from the kitchen, and while it tasted okay, its presentation was a disappointment.The grilled vegetables with mozzarella resembled burnt mushrooms and were accompanied by a lackluster, cold serving of mozzarella. The texture was unpleasantly burnt and soggy, and the mozzarella had a watery consistency. The garlic bread was passable, a bit dry but manageable compared to the other offerings. The patatas bravas were decent, not excellent but edible.My kids enjoyed the spaghetti bolognese, finding it tasty. However, the overall quality of the food was quite poor and not worth the hefty bill of over £60. The service was also lacking; when we complained about the inedible food, the staff's response was disinterested silence. Despite this, they still expected us to pay the full amount.In conclusion, I would not recommend this place. The expensive bill left us dissatisfied and hungry, prompting a visit to McDonald's afterwards.

Disappointed! We ordered from the tapas menu so we could select a variety. We chose - meatballs, garlic bread, grilled veg with mozzarella, aubergine layered lasagna, chicken wings, pastas bravas and a child portion of spaghetti bolognaise. Let’s start with the meatballs - 4 meatballs the size of ping pong balls arrived in a sorry looking sauce, the taste was that of a frozen meatball. Chicken wings - 3 x chicken wings, cooked beyond recognition and dry. Aubergine layered lasagna - looked as if it had been dropped as it came out of the kitchen, tasted ok but 1/10 for presentation. Grilled vegetables and mozzarella - now these looked like what I can only describe as “burnt” mushrooms with a sorry looking cold portion of mozzarella sat next to it. There was no taste just a burnt/soggy texture and the mozzarella was watery. The garlic bread was ok a tad dry but not too bad in light of the other dishes. Pastas bravas were ok, not great but edible. My kids tells me the spaghetti bolognaise was yummy - so least they were fed. Overall the food was terrible and definitely not worth the £60+ paid for a meal. The service was poor, after complaining about the meal that it was inedible the staff stared blankly into the distance and just said nothing, but still expected us to pay the full price. Overall I would not recommend this place, £60+ bill, left with a sour taste and hungry bellies which resulted in a trip to McDonald’s afterwards!
Pizza good. Tapas average. Don’t do substitutes- charged extra for tiny amount of red onion instead of mushroom on pizza. ?. Lovely to sit outside. Inside very dull/ dated.

Thank you for our wonderful meal this evening. We have enjoyed our wonderful meal with a lovely bottle of red wine. (first one on the menu for red wine, sorry I should have written the name down). Elizabeth and staff looked after us wonderfully. I am surprised that no-one else has found this lively, but relaxing and delicious restaurant. It needs to be visited. The decor inside is smart with red leather type seats. You can choose from tapas, pizzas and larger main dinners and desserts (if you have room). We had patas bravas and spare ribs to start, followed by the Hannibal pizza. Definitely going back, need to try cocktails...see you soon!

Amazing place to grab a snack with a gorgeous view of the coastline. Nice outdoor seating and spacious comfortable indoor area as well. Exceptional quality ingredients used and all good tasting as well. Not at all expensive and very appropriately priced.Reason for the 4 star was because the drinks were not served even by the time we finished our food. This was despite following up 3 times for it. It's unfortunate but not sure if the bar was understaffed or didn't care. But it looked like there was plenty of staff around to serve so i suppose it couldn't have been too difficult to pour a pint and pull out a bottle of coke from the fridge.

I don't understand bad reviews. We visited this restaurant today spontaneously. We wait about half hour for food but food was fresh and tasty. We order 5 pizzas, pasta, calzone, coffees, cocktails and beer. Everything was great. Also the service was kind and helpful.I really recommend this place
