There are many different dishes on offer, including a reasonable selection of vegetarian dishes. The restaurant now has a takeaway menu as well, which contains most of the dishes on the eat-in menu, we have also utilised this service a few times! The menu is reasonably priced with a good wine list and liquer coffees available to complete your meal. There are some delicious puddings available, including creme brulee and tiramisu, which are just delicious! The toilets are clean, although the men's are a little small according to my husband! The tables are very close together so this could prove difficult for people in wheelchairs; however the staff are so helpful that I'm sure they would arrnage seating nearer the door if you mentioned it when booking.

My starter of Mussels in Spicy Tomato sauce was lush with just the right ratio of onions to spice and a really good portion of Mussels. Main course size, in fact. My main of stuffed Rabbit saddle, Wood Pigeon breast & Italian sausage on Polenta & gravy was cooked to perfection, really nice with good, strong flavours. And once again a really decent helping. The espresso & Amaretto topped ice cream was a great finish too. Our waitress (the owner, I think) was a mature, welcoming lady who was nice to speak with and knowledgeable about the menu. We used our Hi-ife card and would return anytime we're up that way. Bob On!

Although the inside of the building is not the classiest or even most chic decorated I have ever seen there is still a nice feeling of a warming atmosphere. We wee seated almost immediately and out drinks arrive several minutes after, at times it does get quite busy so if you are in a party I would strongly recommend booking a table otherwise you might be stood waiting for a while. Many other restaurants that I have been to don't offer authentic Italian food, I ordered the lasagne and I absolutely loved it and if I go again I'm certain this is what I will order. Surprisingly the food is quite reasonably priced. Definitely another one to visit

Great place for a girlie chat after some shopping, where our lunches sometimes stretched into supper time. But not any more. Think there's been a change of owner, as I didn't recognise any of the staff last visit, the opening hours have changed and there was no happy hour tea times, so we now meet acroos the road in Joe Rigatonis. Shame, coz we used to like it here, it had a better atmosphere.

There was a varied menu of pasta, pizza and meat dishes which were decently priced as they have many special money off offers. It is not a formal place so people weren't dressed up but great for a casual, fun meal. The staff were young but attentive and got everything right. Bar prices were a little steep but that is to be expected now in all resturants.

Lots of offers, like a quid off starters and money off chicken and pasta dishes, makes it worth a visit. The service can be a bit over attentive, but the young staff respond well to a light-hearted go away with big smiles. Pretty sure this is a franchise type place, there's one in Middlesbrough and Darlington which are very similar. My daughter loves the cocktails, and won't leave until we treat her to a Cosmopolitan, bar prices are as ridiculous as restaurant prices always are these days, but no worse. Have not tried anything we did not like, and the chicken with goats cheese is one of our Donnas all time favourites ( I love the Duck)

They were full but managed to reserve us a table at 8.30. Arriving a little early, the weather was slightly inclement (OK it was peeing down), we were guided to the bar for a pre-dinner drink. I now realise why Northerners complain about London prices. A double Grey Goose vodka for £4.50, a no brainer. At 8.30 exactly, our table was ready. Fantastic menu, delicious food and impeccable service. To start I ordered antipasto for one. This plateful arrived. The waitress explained that this was for one, with a smile. Obviously, the kitchen had made a mistake and plated up for two. One the final bill, antipasto for one. I cannot recommend this restaurant any more, almost a five star in my opinion. Only drawback was the final coffee was very bitter. However, a minor drawback. Great Italian atmosphere, noisy but welcoming.
