How wonderful to be so warmly welcomed back to Terra Rossa/Angel after we were last there for my birthday. As usual service was great and personal too. We love their Primitivo wine. And the scallops with turnip top puree is a family favourite for us. We all had pizzas this time which were yummy. It really is like being in Puglia! We have celebrated Christmas there in the past and enjoyed the holiday menu offerings very much.

Delicious authentic food in a homely local Italian restaurant! Our meal was fresh and hot, cooked perfectly. Not a big place, so I recommend booking - there was a queue of people waiting for tables when we left. There are outside tables which are used in the better weather. Lovely staff, very friendly and helpful. I think they are the owners and family. Excellent place for a casual Italian meal!
