It was an unexpectedly busy Saturday night but the staff took time to workout how to fit us in. The food was good, the staff friendly with a relaxed atmosphere - we had a lovely night. We were a family of 2 adults and 2children. Would recommend.

Visited on New Year’s Day and although quiet the waitress working was lovely and friendly. The food was also excellent.

On a cold and rainy night we enjoyed the food and good service. I loved the mushroom risotto, and everyone liked their steaks, which were all cooked as per requests. The desserts were lovely.One small point on that night was we had all travelled some for up to an hour and then walked and got so cold en route, we didn't really warm up during the evening as the restaurant temperature seemed on the cool side. We did ask if the heating could be adjusted, and there was a small heater plugged in, but it didn't seem to help heat the restaurant as much as we needed to reverse the effects of our journey.

Could not fault this place. Nice layout, comfortable ambience, attentive staff. The food was fresh and of excellent quality well presented and tasted great. Good value for money too. If I lived near, this would be a favourite.

Staff pleasant enough but I can’t think of a time when I’d had a worse Italian meal than this. We booked this for a family dinner, we should have been suspicious when we arrived and there wasn’t another soul dining in there. The whole place stunk of a deep fat fryer that needed the oil changing. My starter had stale lettuce and an ancient lemon on the plate. The main was bland, under seasoned and very disappointing. The food in general was below average and very bland. I was cringing for most of the meal being the only people in there. Walk 100 yds down the street and there was 2 Italian restaurants pretty much full! Lesson learnt. Sorry but never again.

Had a lovely family meal here, service was great and the food was cooked fresh. Chicken and ribs never disappoints and the rest of the family had seafood pasta and lamb cutlets - all yummy!

Very reasonably priced food, quick and friendly service. I’d definitely recommend them over some of the more expensive Italian Restaurants in Ripon.

Had a lovely night. My friend is like a Teeside J Lo so asked for a drink a certain way and the lady who served us was so obliging, she was great. The staff were lovely and the food was really tasty so will definitely return

We stumbled on this lovely little gem during an overnight stay in Ripon as other places were full at the time or didn't have space for 6 and we were more than happy that things turned out that way. The food was outstanding, portions substantial and the service was excellent, staff were friendly and attentive. I would highly recommend.
