    Brilliant Italian food, the Vongole was fantastic. Starters were huge, main course perfect, desserts were delicious. Staff friendly, swift and helpful. Highly recommended!

    A really nice find for a Friday evening. The staff were friendly and efficient. There is currently deals on opentable and tastecard for a discount on the final bill. We had starters, mains, sides, a glass of rose each and a dessert to share. It came to around 80 with service charge. We had a calamari and olives starter. I thought the starter portions were good (unfortunately I was too hungry to take a photo). Mains and sides were lasagne, linguine, courgette fries and broccoli. My salmon linguine was fantastic. There was so much that I wanted to try on the menu, so I will be returning. My only critique would be the price of the dessert. 9.15 (before discount) for three profiteroles seems disproportional.

    Such a wonderful place, everyone was just lovely, especially a Portuguese waiter, he was very friendly, helpful and patient with us. The food is tasty, good portions and very well presented, good timing in between starters and mains, we also had desserts that were delicious. Price are good! We had 2 bottles of Prosecco and still was a very good price each.

    I hosted dinner for 10 people here. A cute place and atmosphere with excellent service. The food was delicious and drinks are great! We ordered so much and had a blast that I forgot to take pics of the appetizers and main dishes: calamari, olives, fried mozzarella, salmon, seafood linguine, steak, lamb, vegetable tagliatelle. We ordered a couple of the desserts to share and the home made cheesecake was a big hit! We all agreed it was the best we’ve had. All the desserts were amazing but the cheesecake stood out: tiramisu, chocolate cake, apple pie, and panda cotta. I did remember to take pics of desserts.
