Tina Turner tribute evening was great. Food was good as usual and the atmosphere was excellent. Certainly the best restaurant locally. Friendly, good food and welcoming.

Best italian restaurantt in the UK. 80% of the staff is italian. The quality is supreme. The waiter and the manager comes to your table and takes care of everything. Also, affordable prices!!!

A fabulous meal served by a wonderfully enthusiastic waiter who clearly enjoys his job. Food really very good and in particularly the Fillet steak perfectly cooked.

A memorable wedding anniversary lunch, for once a restaurant which lives up to the reviews Authentic Italian/Sicilian dishes and great wine, served with Italian flair and friendly banter We both had the scallop starter, Madame had the crab ravioli with mussels and I had the liver….I asked if it was possible to substitute the mashed potato with pasta….not a problem For dolci, I asked for affogato….not on the menu….again no problem. Thank you Ana & Salvo

I challenge anyone to find a better authentic Italian restaurant than this place! Absolutely stunning food and fantastic service to go with! A must MUST visit!

One word - excellent. Greeted by the Owner, seated straightaway and offered water. Drinks followed and I asked for Sparkling Water with Lemon & Ice - No pressure to buy branded. Quick served. Had Fritto Misto to start with Calves Liver as main. Best liver I've had all year. Partner had Pasta which she said was superb. I finished with Formaggi, OH had Tiramisu. Both were generous portions. Easy parking in Bridewell Lane CP just behind restaurant.

The food was fantastic and the people who own the place are lovely! We come from the Netherlands came to visit England like we do every year. We went to this restaurant and it’s so good really authentic Italian cuisine and style. Raul, Adriano and the rest of the staff (I believe it’s an Italian family business) really make you feel like you’re in Italy! Loved it!!!

Having seen the rave reviews I was super excited to secure a last minute table online. Easy enough to find on the high street with on street parking pretty much outside. Buzzy atmosphere and attentive (thankfully not overly familiar) service. Food was good - not outstanding - maybe I'd hyped myself up to expect utterly amazing? I can't even remember exactly what we ordered now. I definitely had the Casarecce pasta all'arrabbiata, as veggie main choices were a little limited. My favourite thing was in fact the two glasses of delicious red wine that made me a little giggly!

We booked a table for four on Friday night and were allocated a two-hour slot from 18:00 to 20:00. The place was buzzing when we arrived and remained packed throughout, which is presumably why they want to turn the tables. We went for mains and puds, with two cod dishes, one steak and liver, all of which arrived promptly and were well made and cooked. The desserts were good, as was the cheeseboard but it was a bit disappointing that no-one could give me the names of the cheeses. With some coffees to finish, dinner was over within the two-hour slot and we had enjoyed a very nice meal.

We were warmly greeted by Sabrina and all the staff on our arrival for lunch yesterday and promptly shown to the perfect table at the far end of the restaurant. Sabrina was well 'clued up' in quietly asking me who the ‘birthday girl’ was, so she knew well in advance. Sabrina was absolutely excellent in every way and fitted into our dining experience with her enthusiasm, professionalism and absolutely nothing was too much trouble for her.The food was extremely high quality and delicious. My son commented on my long-held view that the food will always be of a high standard if there are linen napkins too!It was lovely that all the waiting staff gathered round our table, with a lit candle on Kate’s dessert to sing ‘Happy Birthday’ to her.It was also interesting that we were not the only diners who had a birthday celebration and, to my mind, that speaks volumes for the high standard clearly maintained, as regular diners will always choose their favourite restaurant to celebrate special occasions.The total bill came to £194.60 + tip and to my mind, that was extremely good value and a restaurant we will certainly return to in future.
Wonderful family run restaurant We had dinner here while staying nearby and were very impressed with the food which was delicious and reasonably priced. We look forward to visiting again ????

Met 3 former colleagues for lunch. My food was superb and the service was great. I really get the feeling that they take such a great pride in what they do. Thank you so much. Please consider opening a branch nearer to where I live East Kent!!!! No pressure!!
