   Not great, wish I’d read the reviews before we went.

   We both had pistachio tagliatelle and garlic focaccia which were lovely. However we were out at the corner of the bar, which was also the waiting space for people who didn’t have a table. We were very cramped and had people coming in and out in a very tight space behind us, which really took away from the atmosphere. We were also very rushed to order and pay. Not what I’d expect for a fairly pricey menu. Left feeling pretty disappointed.

   Loved it. The food was delicious and the portions were big. We really enjoyed our lunch at Sicilian NQ and will definitely be recommending it to our friends.

   I really enjoyed my food, however the items my partner wanted were not available. Table a little tight as we both received a few elbows from the people behind

   Arrived and sat around a crowded table, but was a nice interior. We were there for a birthday meal. Menus were given and I had preordered the vegan set menu, was told we could have any of the starters, mains desserts. Starters arrived, food was not as flavourful as expected and bread was slightly stale. Hoped for better mains but they arrived without the ingredients listed on the menu. We asked why this was and server said that they have ran out. This meant my partners meal was essentially meatballs in a tomato sauce. We asked for replacement and they said they couldn’t make the others due to missing ingredients. We ate the mains, they were average. Service staff apologised and said they would give us a drink on the house, requested a Hugo Spritz. Waitress came over explained they had no mint, asked if I would like without. I said yes and she came back 2 minutes later to say they don’t have any elderflower either… couldn’t make any of the drink. We laughed at this point. Dessert menu came out with 5 items crossed off due to lack of ingredients. Service were apologetic but both said they were new to the business and only been there for a week or so. Completely understandable - but it was a shame for lack of ingredients and communication that followed. We wouldn’t return which is a shame as the deal is good. However, food and lack of communication let the place down.

   Excellent food, probably some of the best pasta I have tasted. The service was excellent and the price was great value. It is a small intimate venue, the menu is small but the food is delicious. The staff are brilliant at keeping all of the patrons happy, they are efficient, friendly and welcoming. We were even given a shot of limoncello on the house so how's that for service! It's a really fabulous relaxed ambience with a gorgeous menu and great choices and value of wine, we would definitely visit again.
