Have eaten here a few times now and we have loved it each time. The food is excellent and service is brilliant. Very friendly wait staff topping up our wine glasses and always ready to take a drinks order. We say out on the terrace on a warm summers evening and the place had a lovely ‘buzz’. Will ve returning many more times

What a lovely surprise. We came here Tuesday to celebrate my wife's birthday. My daughter booked this restaurant knowing what my feelings are regarding so called Italian restaurants in and around Leigh on sea. And being a trained chef and haveing some very poor experiences with so called Italian restaurants. I must say I was impressed from the moment we entered. To a lovely warm smile. Somebody takeing are coats and being seated at are table. The staff were very attentive. And helpful explaining the dishes to us. The food was very fresh and so tasty. The starters ie the meat balls were fabulous so tasty. Along with the spicey meat garlic bread and the selection of deep fried fish. ThumbsUp you have impressed me. The mains were very filling and very fresh my chicken Milanese was huge and tasty and my daughters pizza was large and fresh and tasty. While my wife had the Argentina prawns with pasta which she devoured. Desert was just as interesting and tasty. When I paid the bill. I asked the waitress if when paying the bill with a 15% service charge added did the staff actually receive it to which she said yes. That's good and nice to hear. So to sum up thank goodness there is a true Italian restaurant local to us. Food amazing. Service just as amazing. Ambience lovely did not feel rushed at any point. Prices on the higher end but you pay for what you receive and you receive alot at this restaurant. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

Had an absolutely fantastic birthday meal here towards Christmas. Really friendly and prompt service in a charming restaurant. The smaller menu is the giveaway that it's all fresh and top notch. I highly recommend the lamb and mint Ragu, the panna cotta and the mushroom arancini (which I sadly didn't get a picture of!) Three courses with (soft) drinks for two had change from 80. We'll definitely be back!

Great cocktails, delicious food, friendly staff and good service. We often go here for our date nights and this time we had an early sitting at 6pm which got busy very soon after! A popular spot with the locals and you can see why, with reliable service and quality of food (portions sizes decent too)set in a lovely environment certainly one of the best options for eating out in the area in my opinion and as close to London standards as we’ve come across since moving out here.

We popped in for an impromptu family meal including two children aged 5 and 9. The staff were very friendly and helpful and accommodating. The food and service were excellent and the lunch menu was fantastic value. We were pleasantly surprised and delighted with our experience and would absolutely recommend this restaurant to anyone else. We arrived at 12:30pm and it quickly became very busy with local small groups and parties, which I think is a further excellent recommendation for this gem! Enjoy!

Francesca was extremely hospitable and made me and my partner feel welcome upon entry. I had the best beef ragu pasta and garlic bread with cheese. Thank you

Fantastic experience. Booked for a table of ten for my fathers 80th birthday and the staff really were amazing. From accommodating us with our frequent changes to the number of guests on the booking, to the service on the day, I couldn’t have asked for more. We went for the lunch menu which had a wide variety of dishes and is excellent value. The food arrived quickly, hot, well presented and amply portioned. Everything we had was delicious and authentically flavoured. Would have taken pictures but everyone tucked in before I got the chance. Highly recommended and we will certainly be back at the earliest opportunity. Update: On our second visit the food and service were just as excellent as the first time, and this time I managed to take some photos!
