The third time at the Secret Italian. It is advisable to book well in advance otherwise you probably cannot get in. There is a set menu consisting of anti pasti, pasta, main meal with side and dessert. The cost is currently £35.00 per person and is excellent value for what you are served and you also need to bear in mind that you do not have to pay for expensive wines and beers as you are invited to bring your own. The Secret Italian do not stock drinks (except water) so make sure you have your own. My faves are the anit pasti (meat, mozarella, meatballs etc) and also theTiramisu. Margaret is the ameniable host with a couple of ladies working hard in the kitchen,. Everything is spotlessly clean and there is enough parking for every diner in the building. Dining time is 7pm and you'll be finshed at approx 9.30-10pm. All in all nothing to moan about. A great experience.

5 stars for everything - food, atmosphere, service, staff - we have to book 6 month in advance and we absolutely love it every time. If only they could fit us in more often!!

Fantastic casual dining experience. I was a little sceptical with it being a set menu and was worried I wouldn't like some of the dishes but I was very mistaken. Food was cooked in the kitchen in front of you and was delicious, atmosphere was great, staff were fantastic and couldn't do enough for you. Highly recommended.

Our second time at Secret Italian, & what a fantastic time. Mags & her staff are so friendly and welcoming. The food is sublime & we’ve already booked our next visit. A must experience to an absolutely wonderful little restaurant. Pure joy ?
The food was delicious, the staff were very friendly. Family mentioned it was my birthday and they sent my pudding with candles in and played birthday music.

Small and intimate which makes the experience all the better. Beautiful both times I've been. Hosts are lovely and make you feel welcomed and looked after

Absolutely fantastic Italian restaurant. Came here as a large group (booked 11 months in advance). It did not disappoint at all. Ambience - lovely, authentic, welcoming. Mags was a lovely, warm lady who made everyone feel so welcome. Food - 100% gorgeous. Every course was just delicious. So much food that it’s impossible to eat it all. Tiramisu to die for! The best food I’ve eaten in a long time. We’ll be back for sure (if we can get in of course).

Honestly one of the best hidden gems I've ever been to. The food, service and atmosphere are all amazing. Margaret and the staff are so welcoming and caring. 2nd time we've been and it doesn't dissapoint. We can't wait to come again.
