Visting the area from North Wales. Excellent food and service. Staff really friendly and welcoming. Was a great atmosphere in the restaurant too. Would definately recommend and will be visiting again next time i am in the area.

Extensive food choices, including GF, vegi and vegan options. Lovely freshly made food, I had the calzone bianco, and it was superb. Great for families too, rather than having a separate kids menu, they will make smaller versions of anything on the standard menu, including slight variations, such as dropping chillies from the meat feast pizza! Great service from the front of house team too. Nothing was too much trouble. Very highly recommended.Kid-friendliness: They will make small versions of anything on the main menu, including variations like dropping less child friendly ingredients, such as chillies etc. Also a good selection of soft drinks, such as apple, orange and cranberry juices, as an alternative to coke or fruitshoot.

Food was slow coming up. No staff checked to see how our food was. It was taken away when we'd finished. Nobody asked then if it was OK, and after an hour without even being asked if we wanted a dessert , we had to find someone to ask for the bill. Absolutely dreadful service, I'm not recommending to anyone, and we won't be back.

Absolutely stellar. The food is incredible, and as someone who is gluten-free, they can do any of their pasta dishes gluten-free which is a rarity. And they taste so good! They do a dish with courgettes that is just to die for; I have no idea what they do to those little buggers but they taste so damn good, if I could only eat one dish every day for the rest of my life, it would be that. Wine is a little pricey, but it’s a nice restaurant, so that is kind of to be expected, and as someone who chooses wines based on the ABV and the picture on the bottle, I really have no right to speak on the topic anyway. The staff are all lovely, and happy to accommodate you if you have any weird little requests (like one time I booked a table last minute, and was going for a meal with a friend who was quite upset about something, so I asked if they could put us in a table a bit tucked away so she could blub a bit without too many eyes on her, and they sorted that out no questions asked). It can get a bit noisy if it’s kind of peak hours and the place is full of chatty patrons, so if you’re noise sensitive, I would pick a time when it’s less busy. There is a ground-floor disabled accessible toilet, but you do need to be able to get up a step or two at the front of the restaurant to get in, so it’s not wheelchair accessible, though as someone on crutches I’m able to get in without issue, and it’s possible that if you asked in advance there may be a way in through the back. It did take me a couple of visits to realise there was an alternative to the bathroom upstairs though ? Overall, I’d say it’s probably the nicest restaurant in Barry, and the prices for food are extremely reasonable for the quality. Definitely give it a go, and maybe try the courgette pasta thingy, it’s divine! (And if you skip the Parmesan, it’s vegetarian).

Had a delicious meal here. All four of us loved our dishes. Starters of White bait spicy meatballs and brushetta were lovely. The Marianera pizza was so tasty as was the Carbonnara. The meatballs was chosen as a main dish too - is spicy and has a little kick to it. The desserts were scrumptious and really liked the Sauvignon wine that had a gooseberry finish and was exceptionally reasonable. Service was excellent and there was a lovely warm welcome when we entered. Will definitely be back for more.

Score could have been higher but the main dishes were a touch on the small side. I will return.

Stunning seafood pizza.

A perfect night out to celebrate the wife's birthday. Staff were attentive and great at their jobs. The food was delicious, came out in a timely manner and was reasonably priced. The rib eye steak was cooked exactly how I asked for it and the king prawn starter was so tasty. Would recommend a visit here anytime. There is a decent menu to suit all the foodies out there. 10/10

Excellent experience in this Italian restaurant. I am not a big fan of Italian cuisine but the food in this restaurant was delicious and different and you can tell that everything was fresh. It definitely worth a try. 5* from
