If you appreciate the real Italian food this is your place. 10/10 pizzas and pasta.They’ve got a menu 9’95£ any pizza on Monday.Absolutely delicious.

A bit off the main town but worth the stroll as you pass some amazing properties en route. Greetings attention and lovely food. I had a dish off the special menu.

I hate to write a poor review here but feel the food wasn’t great and service was pretty wooden. Food came prompt but was lacking in flavour and in all honestly a generous 3/5. Have eaten here and in Faversham a few times but wouldn’t return on the basis of the food. It was all a bit flavourless and sickly. I’ve had better pizza at Pizza Express. Also thought £95 for 3 ppl (no alcohol) was pricy mainly down to the 10% service charge added - this annoys me as is like a hidden extra.

A wonderful evening with delicious food ?

Really delicious and earthy mushroom risotto. I also enjoyed the other food, but some of it was somewhat overpriced for the amount you got. Other than that, a really lovely place and good food.

Our second visit. The food was wonderful and a nice atmosphere. The bill was unexpectedly high due to a crafty move by the waiter who gave us a much more expensive bottle of wine than we ordered. I asked for a bottle that was £25.95 and was described as "full bodied". Waiter asked if we wanted medium bodied or full so I said full (as described). It turns out that the bottle of wine was, in fact, £38.95. Disappointed to have this trick pulled on us in an otherwise lovely restaurant, so be aware.

Food was really bad and overcooked so much that it tasted

Posillipo has 3 locations. I usually go to the Faversham restaurant but ended up in Canterbury on this occasion. The food is definitely good; but... wasn't as great as the Faversham branch I must say. Also the food seems to take longer..All is good here I assure you...but Faversham is better...?..Sorry Canterbury branch..

Before I begin, Ciara was amazing, sadly the 10% service charge was not able to be given directly to her, as I wish it was.The restaurant is quite cramped, and on valentines day it was of course quite busy. Me and my girlfriend were sat on a table for two and the service we were given was lackluster except for Ciara who picked up where others failed. She chased our meals when they were slow, she gave us menus when others forgot. She was great. A gentleman in a shirt didn't even make eye-contact as reluctantly offered black pepper.The food was great. The service was disrespectful towards us, and it seemed genuinely like we were forgotten. I believe it was a mistake as everyone around us got GREAT service. Just sadly felt that we didn't.

Cosy and elegant atmosphere. The menu was rich and the food of good quality. Giving 4 stars instead of 5 due to the disappointing deserts that were mediocre and overpriced.
This place is absolutely fantastic! Two of the most competent waiters I've ever seen, delicious food, reasonable prices and all in all just a perfect evening!If you're in Canterbury, don't miss out on this pearl :)We will definitely come back!

Food was delicious. More sauce with the ravioli tho please.Service was quick. Anna was especially great.We were seated in the quieter side, which was perfect for us. Noise from the other side want intrusive and gave a lively atmosphere.

A fake Italian restaurant, food seems to be prepared by non-Italian and not able to cook chef. Vinegar on a focaccia says it all!
