Truly a lovely, cosy and friendly place to grab an authentic Italian meal with friends and family.
I came with my partner and parents in law, and we were welcomed with a smile and attentive staff. We were seated outside which was pleasant on a summer evening. We were seen to pretty quickly and the staff happily took our orders.
I had the Polpette Alla Napoletana meatballs which were delicious with a very flavoursome sauce, making it a great starter. For the main course I had the Pollo Alla Boscaiola which was served with a tasty and creamy bacon and mushroom sauce and was very filling.

Upon asking if the spaghetti was homemade, I couldn't get the answer at the first attempt but was told how spaghetti was made. When asking for the second time, the answer was 'no'. The total bill was 24 pounds, exc service charge. Manageress was charming though, and we had brief but good conversations. Unfortunately, this meal just reminded why I only come here once a year despite the fact that this is my...
Read morefood came quick, waiter asked if we wanted any chilli oil, we said yes and she never bought it over and then i bit into something i can only describe as a shell which then cut my mouth and the staff saw this and told me it was oregano and then when they touched it they said oh no it must of come from the outside, i carried on eating and then i found a bit of broken sharp plastic which looked like it had snapped off of a lid, the staff didn’t really care she just told me ‘that’s from where we keep the bolognese in storage’ ?? quite disappointing as i have been here a few years ago but have now got a cut mouth and...
