This is about the 5th time we've eaten here, we love it, the food is amazing, and very friendly staff, we're looking forward to our next visit.

Nice little place in the Old Town of Margate. Just happened to wander past while we were looking for somewhere for dinner.We didn't have a booking but the staff managed to accommodate us. Recommend making a booking as we just got lucky.It's a small place but clean and comfortable, with a nice atmosphere. We had pizza and a pasta dish, food was excellent.Staff were friendly and the service was excellent- appreciated since we were short of time.Definitely worth a visit and located in a pleasant part of town.

A piece of Tuscany in the Old Town. Authentic food, delicious flavours, great service! By far best pizza and pasta in the area. Love it! Our favourite place.

A tiny truly traditional trattoria in the centre of Margates old town. Cash only is a slight inconvenience, but it's well worth the hassle of finding an ATM.

It was my first time visiting Margate and I would go back just to eat here.The restaurant has a lovely traditional, authentic and independent feel. The menu is fairly small which makes you feel that everything is fresh and made with care, which it most definitely is.For starters we had Bruschetta Tricolore and Caprino. Both were good portions so we were able to try a bit of everything each. The olive pate bruschetta was my favourite.For main course we went for pasta. I had the Pasta Pesto Genovese. I don't usually go for this as it's available at most places but this was delicious so I was glad I did.This place is great for a couple having a romantic dinner but would also work well for families as a very relaxed atmosphere. All the staff are very attentive.

We ate here last night. This place is perfect, the antithesis of chain restaurant drab - a friendly team, simple, home cooked food and an unfussy wine list.

We spent most of the time as the only customers. So we had time to ask& listen to the guy telling us who all the people (in his dad's family) who graced a wall. We're coming back for his mum's side.The food was excellent. I mean authentic and really good.The antipasto mixto was stunning, generous & really good value @ under £20.We shared a pasta and a parmigiana he gave us our pasta already divided & served on two plates.The mixed green salad was fresh, crispy, crunchy, tart. The perfect accompaniment.Way cheaper to buy a bottle of wine than by the glass

We have recently moved to the area and are delighted to have found this place. Great food, service and atmosphere. This will become a regular for us and our visitors.

Got a couple of takeaway pizzas that were the best I’ve had in a long time! The restaurant itself is super cute and atmospheric, will be back!

We booked the meal based on the reviews. It’s pretty obvious that most people have not eaten authentic Italian food. This was the first pizza with no tomato base, strange. As for my pasta dish well something very different

Sharon Parker
