Been eating here since it first opened. Always been good. However last night was a huge disappointment. My wife’s main course was a pasta dish, but the onion was barely cooked and over powering! I had a Calzone pizza, which I have had many times before. It came out flat like a folder pancake. The filling was ok, but the dough was hard and tasteless! Such a disappointment. Maybe a new chef. If so he needs to up his/her game.

Having eaten in and had take away. Both times, the food has been amazing. I would highly recommend it.

Excellent Italian food and a family friendly. The gluten free pasta was really good.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free was high quality

I would rate this place zero but it’s appears impossible to do so. I ordered several dishes for delivery and about 1 hour later was told my order was cancelled and no reason given. This is the SECOND time this has happened. Utter waste of time. Useless.

Always ordered online before as they have the most amazing pizzas. The D and PJ franchises come nowhere near. Had the opportunity to dine in Sunday afternoon... finding out the reason why the pizzas are soooo good. Traditional wood fired pizza oven. Also had Mussels in white wine as a starter. Impressive quality and taste... Think I've found my local Italian favourite.Kid-friendliness: Super welcoming.

I was in a party of 8 on a wet Friday in December when there were two other large parties in the restaurant. I say that for context.The service was friendly and efficient and the food was excellent and pretty quick given how busy they were. Everyone in the party was happy with their food.The only issue for us was parking. There is a public car park close by but Ashley Cross was very busy and I had the last available space. Others in the part had to walk about a mile and, in fact, I gave one with a leg injury a lift back to her car. This is worth bearing in mind if you need to use the car to get there. Perhaps choose a less busy time.Parking: I have commented on parking in my review

Our local Italian. Had my son’s bday there last night. food is always absolutely fantastic, staff so accommodating and kind. Big big thank you to Joe that looks after us every single time we come in and makes our evenings so special!! It really feels like home there now :)

A lovely place tacked in a beautiful street, relaxing atmosphere and great service.The tomato soup was so lovely absolutely fantastic but the rest of the food ordered could be better, also there weren't many food options for vegetarian and vegan but they did have a non gluten pasta, there is room for improvement in terms of thinking outside the Box.For example, I ordered a salad but I'm dairy-free so the salad was provided with no salad dressing due to their options, now a simple olive oil and vinegar would be good but it was served plain, so it would be nice to tell me or offer other solutions, this to me says "we need to work more on our level of customer understanding".But otherwise, it was a lovely dinner and we hope that on our next visit the comments above will be taken into consideration.

Schnitzel was ace and perfect portion wise. Pizza's base was ok and we quite like the taste. The only issue is they serve beer in small bottles and charge £££.

Went there for date night and was a last minute decision, we called to book and was the only Italian place that opened a bit late for dinner. We ordered some lovely wine and the lady let us try some samples to decide. Very friendly vibe and the decorations are on point with the Italian theme. We had a table near the entrance window. It was a hot day and the Restaurant was warm but in sure it will be amazing in the winter. The food we ordered was delicious, as a starter we had a prawn cocktail each and some mussels in a gorgeous sauce. As mains we had the mushroom and prosciutto pasta as it was very popular, but in our opinion it was quite average, in our opinion needed more flavour and a richer sauce. The dessert lemon cheesecake tasted soapy sadly. Price was fair and not too expensive for a date night. Won't be coming back but nothing wrong if you like other dishes and maybe other pasta. Just not for us.

First visit here , sent e.mail booking , but none recieved ,did get a table .6-15 on Sat eve. Nice place/ atmosphere ,very nice staff , Little bit cramped though. We both had chicken , 1 with Doleselate & one with French mustard / brandy, We both thought being honest the chicken wasn't brilliant , the doleselate sauce was better than the the other , mine just tasted of very strong garlic , & repeated on me for the rest of the evening. Nice bottle of Montepechano , the only thing i wasnt 100% happy about was a service charge ( for one course ! ) I had that taken off . Would go again, but not in a hurry.
