Villa Marina — Restaurant in South Oxfordshire

Double check your bill! They add in orders and gaslight you when you point it out. The chef is clearly talented but everyone else needs to have their eyes tested or go to accountancy school. Lunchtime meal with grandmother and wife; they said two people got three course set menu when only one had. Side dishes we didn’t order turned up and then we got charged for them. We assumed the vegetable bowl came with the main course otherwise we would have said something immediately. A drink got added we definitely never ordered. In summary: they added two extra sides, an extra drink and an extra course to our meal and charged 12.5% onto this inflated bill. They then gaslight my grandmother who questioned the bill at the bar and was shaken up about it. “If you still think it’s wrong tomorrow come back and I’ll refund you”.

That is about to change dramatically- if Fabio ( the owner?) would...

Beautiful little Italian restaurant alongside the River Thames. Delicious food. You get quality not quantity so the portions are quite small.

Authentic Italian restaurant. The manager is Italian so you can speak Italian to them and they will answer in Italian.

The menu is quite small when it comes to options but the food is absolutely delicious. I recommend getting a main and to always order a side or two.

They will let you taste the wine first after they open the bottle in front of you.

The food is adequately priced for the cuisine. However, remember that you will get quality but not a big quantity.

Parking is available on the side of the restaurant across the road but be quick as there are only a few spaces available (3 car spaces).

I would definitely visit again when I'm...
