    Mama J's Italian - Affogato

    Came here for lunch and it is definitely a family friendly and orientated place for a meal. The…read morewaitress that served us was both welcoming and informative. I got a bambino pizza and a salad. They use real wood Fire oven to cook the pizzas in and it was really beautifully cooked. The salad was delicious but just lacked that little extra (maybe basil?). My dining companion had linguine which was just a bit undercooked. All in all a great lunch spot, reasonably priced and very welcoming staff! Just needs that extra umph on the food front to take it to a 5 star. But they're fairly new so there's time....

    We walked past this colourful, vibrant looking restaurant on our first brief afternoon in Looe and…read moreearmarked it for a potential visit during our week in the area. Glad to say we got involved early doors on the second night. As you'd expect on a mid-September Wednesday early evening in a tourist hotspot in Cornwall, it wasn't exactly heaving. Nowhere is at 5.30. Too early for the ravers, too late for the biddies, perfect for the young-parent crowd, which we are firmly in the camp of. Speaking of, there was another young family there (who incidentally we'd seen wandering the cobbled streets of Polperro earlier in the day) and a middle aged, childless couple in situ. Regardless, the service was exceptional. The very clearly authentically Italian server was attentive and helpful throughout and happy to chat and give recommendations. In addition to this, he went above and beyond for aforementioned Baby G - he was grizzling, as is his way at the moment, which was obvious for all in the restaurant to see. I was walking him around when he offered some free breadsticks to keep him occupied. It worked! He also engaged with Asa in a card swapping game - coincidentally (?) handing over a 'rate us on Tripadvisor' card in exchange for one Asa had just picked up. Cynical, moi?! Couple more little, but noticeable, things - he washed up ALL of the dude's paraphernalia, plate, bib and spoon. Really appreciated that. And also the food came at the perfect temperature - not too hot as it always is in every other restaurant we go to, thereby incurring a tentative wait while it cools. They clearly know how to deal with kids, and are truly a 'family friendly' place. Onto the food - Em had a Bianco pizza (garlic butter, pulled pork, mushrooms and rosemary) which was genuinely delicious. Creamy and packed with flavour, with a crispy thin base, and cooked to perfection. To the point where I wish I'd had the same. Honestly one of the best pizzas I've tried for a long time. My beef ragu was very nice, beef shin and pork ragu making the difference between it and a spag bol. Big chunks of meat, spaghetti with the right amount of bite and bounce, and seasoned to perfection. Asa's penne pomodoro was very well received - he essentially inhaled it. Which is about as good as you can expect from a bebe. Dessert was 2x affogato's, which I haven't had for a while. The gelato was gorge - creamy af, and the espresso was lovely but would have preferred it hot. Drinks-wise, Em had her standard prosecco, I had a next level G&T- Malfy Rosa with pink grapefruit. Apparently it's a Sicilian pink grapefruit gin with a hint of rhubarb. I've already got a bottle on order. The overall experience at Mama J's was of sheer joy and blissful happiness. Get here. Now.

    Came here for bottomless drag brunch hosted in the Long Room. The event didn't start on time, had…read more45 minutes of entertainment but was advertised as a 2-hour event, and didn't match the theme of what was advertised. However, it's a restaurant review, so I'll limit it to the drinks, food, and service. There were 3 choices of alcoholic drinks: prosecco, cosmopolitan, and sex on the beach - they were alright; I wish there were more options, like wine and beer, which are also easy to serve bottomless. The pizza was yum. From what I could tell, I think they nailed the toppings, but I set the crust aside. Lastly, the staff there were great. They did amazing serving a large event and keeping the drinks flowing. The restaurant regularly hosts these special events and you can find upcoming events on their website.

    On The Waterfront is (unsurprisingly) located on a lovely sunny spot on the waterfront. So you can…read moreeat, drink and be merry while watching all the swans and the river. The pizzas here are huuuuuuuge! I didn't read the menu carefully enough, so ordered a half and half pizza, with two flavours...not realising that I would receive a pizza double the size(!) I only managed to eat four slices - but they have pizza boxes for me to take the rest home. Although I was too full to move, my friend then ordered a chocolate fondue for us to share. Somehow I had a separate stomach for chocolate so we managed to eat most of it. The chocolate was a bit too runny, but it tasted good. In summary it's a nice place to spend lots of time watching swans and munching pizza.
