Satollo — Restaurant in England

A little bit of Italy in Marlow! I have been a customer of Satollo for many years....most definitely the best coffee in Marlow, Henley - everywhere in fact! The cafe interior is rustic and has a fabulous vibe and the outdoor seating in Summer or Autumn with the canopy and heaters make for a cosy place to sit. The cafe may be small, however, the food they serve is plentiful and delicious from Pesto Bruschetta (my favourite) Parmigiana, cheese/meat boards served beautifully and often can not be finished so you go home with a box! and another favourite, Grigliato sandwich or salad....yum! The staff are very polite and friendly and the new Manageress, Karolina is quick, efficient and able to "read" the room resulting in the service she and her staff give to be first class. It says it all when the young students come back to work there year after year! They remember your name and your coffee choice (which I love) and even ask after my elderly mother who visits now and again. The fresh homemade cakes and pastries are amazing....chocolate croissant being my grandchildren's favourite and the lemon cannoli is a must! Whether it is lunch/coffee with friends or a peaceful half hour on your own sipping a lovely cup of coffee or glass of wine, I would definitely recommend a visit to...

I've never been to Italy but this is how I imagine a typical Italian cafe.

The venue is amazing with great decor.

As you approach the entrance you will notice a heavy wood look coupled with hams hanging in the windows and wine racks at the back of the restaurant.

Have been a few times and it's our 'special' place to go on the weekend now (a long with walking Marlow high street).

Our last visit I ordered the ravioli filled with meat swimming in a broth while my partner ordered aubergine and ragu (both on the specials menu) and we were both amazed at how much flavour both dishes packed.

(We changed our order which the staff were happy to do)

We followed up with a cortado (double espresso in this case as it's not a Spanish cafe haha) and a Nutella coffee (can't remember the actual name) which were accompanied by a vegan banana loaf (I'm not vegan but seems most things are vegan friendly now and it kept all its flavour) slice and some carrot cake.

Staff were very friendly and super efficient.

If you want a little 'slice' of Italy please visit Satollo next time you're in Marlow.

For me the best part is how Satollo's keeps things simple yet stands out. Why overdo something if you can't do it right?

Great coffee's, flavoursome foods and...

Used to be my favorite little place in Marlow, but recently had such an unpleasant experience that I felt obligated to share. Walked in on a Saturday at ~6:10pm with my husband and another couple and our dog. There were maybe two other groups still in the restaurant, otherwise it was empty. We wanted to grab a quick glass of wine or coffee, maybe a pastry and continue with our day. All the tables had "Reserved" signs on them. One of the men in our group asked the staff at what time the tables were reserved. We were told they were getting ready for dinner seating at 7pm and all the tables were reserved for that. We asked if we could sit down for a quick drink because there was still almost an hour until 7pm and we were flat out told "no". To be fair, they did say we could sit outside in the freezing cold and drizzling rain if we really wanted to while the inside of the restaurant remained empty. Not quite sure the motivation behind this. The entire group in consensus felt the situation was handled very poorly by the staff and we were treated very rudely. We agreed we won't be back. Just wanted to warn...
