Good food, good service... bit the reviews, the main reason the Caramel Cheesecake it is phenomenal. It's seriously worth coming just for that. Try it...

Not that Italian.On Meerkat app but only when it's convenient for them.The prices are way too high for the quality of food.Half of the food was good, half was average.Bathrooms were not very clean and no sope.

Very handy for a bite before an evening event at the cathedral as they are open in the afternoon. Many restaurants didn't open until 6, so this suited us. Great food and service, and pretty good value for money. Nice atmosphere and we had a lovely waiter.

A lot of dough with no topping or filling in the case of the calzones. Harassed to take our order. Not convinced the goat’s cheese on my pizza was actually goat’s cheese. Side salads meagre. It was cold in there. Yes it was very cold outside but I don’t want to need to keep my coat on when I go into a restaurant. Carafe of red wine was good value and tasty. But it’s a pizza restaurant and it does not come up to the mark in a competitive arena. Will not be going back.
Booked the bottomless brunch for my friends birthday. Good choice of what brunch drinks you would like and there was many pizza choices, even a calzone! The waitress who served us throughout was amazing, she was so friendly, down to earth and to be honest she made the experience for us. But… Someone called Tom who worked there (unsure if he was the manager) spoke to us like we were children in school. We all agreed we have never been spoken to like that in a restaurant. My friend ordered the unlimited pizza brunch, on the 3rd pizza she asked if we would all like some, I ate the crusts. Tom came over and stated… ‘’Now, I notice the pizza is in the middle of the table. Now I’m going to give you a chance to tell the truth (sorry, who the hell does he think he is). Either you finish the pizza on your own and you can order another one. Or you all finish it and you are not ordering another one.’’ I’m sorry, but we have all bloody paid for this brunch, was does it matter? All together we spent £132 and what the hell does it matter if we was sharing one bloody pizza? It’s a freakin slice!! None on the other waitresses minded? I don’t get what his problem was. Also, as we were about to leave, I said to the waitress. Do you need this table as my friend is just finishing her cocktail? She said ‘’ no no, don’t worry we don’t need it yet. If so, I’ll let you know to go’’. Not a problem! 2 minutes later, Tom came over with the teacher face on, getting ready to tell us to leave. I spoke up before he even had the chance to say to leave. Even though this is very long winded, we had an amazing time. But they have lost customers and we will not be returning due to Tom treating us like children. But I hope the waitresses get the recognition they deserve because they are the people pleasers and are very good at their jobs!

Excellent service and delicious pizzas - just like the ones in Italy! We went as a table of 9 and every one of our party were delighted at both the quality of food and of the service .Several of us had pasta dishes which were also well cooked and very tasty .The children had portions that were huge! I had the tagliatelle bolognese which was delicious and the garlic bread pizzas were better than any l have had before . This is a small restaurant but they coped well with our party on this Sunday evening.

Haven’t visited padrinos in quite a while, so was excited to find they have a new menu. The Pappardelle was absolutely delicious. Compliments to the chef! The cocktails are so refreshing, particularly liked the strawberry orange spritz! Pia our waitress was lovely too. Would definitely recommend and would visit again!

I went today for dinner. We had a pizzas. Both pizzas was fabulous. It was a proper Italian style pizza. The girls was very nice✨. I’m just gonna suggest to make little bit more big pizza but expect this everything was superb. Oh yeah in the end the give to us a very nice message on the receipt. Appreciate that. Gonna come back again?

First time here with friends from the USA and all my family. The staff were all friendly and professional. My daughter had a problem on the way and called to say they would not make it. No problem. Then she called back 20 minutes later and said they were now on the way. No problem again. Starters were sorted and on the table as the arrived. And great starters too. The buratta was amazing. In fact all the starters were very good indeed. Garlic bread, carbonara and arancini all top quality. Main courses were great too. Pizzas were Napoli style and perfectly done. Calzone was said to be perfect by my husband who is from Naples. Pastas were rich and tasty too. Roasted garlic chicken, my choice, was tender and moist. The fennel with lemon set it off perfectly. The deserts were very good. Creamy tiramisu was had by most but the gelato was very good too. The best was mine, the bamballino, nuttela filled mini doughnuts, just wow.The restaurant itself is like many in Italy, nice things on the walls , very clean . Very nice relaxed athmosphere. We were there in the afternoon 2pm and eventually left at 5.20pm. But at busier times your booking is for 90 minutes which is fine.All ten of us thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the staff were fantastic.
