   Delicious meals, super desserts. Amazing atmosphere and nice italian music being played. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We booked it with the January sale so it was well worth but definitely will be back.

   The restaurant is very small so not good for large groups. We were squashed in a corner and the noise made it difficult for us to chat to each other. The food wasn't that good. Most of the dishes were served cold and tasteless. Maybe this was because we were a large group. However we won't be returning

   Really poor quality food. Pasta and gnocchi not made fresh. Starters and mains brought out at same time. Food was bland and gnocchi particularly was badly cooked. Service abrupt and not friendly. Sorry but this was not a good experience

   Food is very nice and authentic. Barely any staff, slow service, and poor attitude.

   Staff weren't able to cope with the amount of orders due to Jan deals - a couple came in who had a reservation and were turned away as they had overbooked. Tables are tiny, practically sat on top of one another & pegs are placed to the side of you on the wall so your coats limit the space even more. Staff were friendly and doing the best they could given the circumstances but we didnt have order dessert menu taken for over 20 minutes and had to ask for the bill twice and still took over 15 minutes to receive. Pasta was OK but was still hungry when I left. Would like to see if it has a different atmosphere when the January deal isn't on because I have heard good things, but definitely didn't live up to its previous reviews

   Gorgeous and authentic place just as expected, lovely dishes on the menu, I was particularly happy that it was mainly vegetarian dishes, not many places do I find this. We did feel rushed to order and eat as only had 1.5 hours and was reminded of this a few times by staff, so not as relaxed as had hoped. When booking, open table gives option to send message to restaurant or make special requests. I had noted that it was my mother in laws birthday and even asked did they have candles for her dessert, I was told yes. We ordered 2 sharing dessert boards, but unfortunately my request was forgotten and no candles came out which was a shame as her grandchildren would have loved to have sung Happy Birthday to her.

   First visit and really enjoyed it. Excellent food and great service. Although we were comfortable at the 'high' tables, would prefer more normal tables.

    We had a large booking of 11 for my birthday and all the staff were really friendly and accommodating. The food was delicious. Would definitely go back & recommend to everyone.
