Awesome food to eat. The pizza menu and pasta menu were generous and quite tasty. The service was…read morequick and professional. The only things I could fault: - As a university student, I struggled to find a lot of items that were affordable. The place is considered to be very expensive. However, it is expected - the presentation of the restaurant basically gives this away. - I remember one dish that's as absolutely not worth the price. This was the lamb skewers- Very expensive for such a small serving. Make sure that if you plan to dine in here that you wear fancy clothes

I'm surprised I'm the first person to review this place. From the road you think this place is just…read morea small local Italian joint but it actually extends all the way down the back and is packed on weekends. They have 2 seating times on weekends so make sure you book or you're not going to find a free table. I had high hopes for this place and it delivered. Great atmosphere and great Italian service. I loved how the menu was so different from other Italian places I've been to. That being said they have a very extensive menu which made it difficult to choose from. My only complaint would be that our pizza entree was really salty and my duck ragu was a tad salty but the rest of my table loved their choices. The waiter recommended the linguine con salsiccie e porcini and it was a fabulous recommendation. For anyone as obsessed with truffle as I am, this is definitely the dish for you! There will definitely have to be a trip back for round 2!

It's the quintessential locals pizzeria, the guys here are local born and bred and every time I walk in here I feel warm and fuzzy. Simplicity is key here, the pastas have that home-grown organic feel and taste and the pizzas aren't completely drowned in toppings but compensate with amazing flavour, fresh and superior produce. They do daily in house specials so if you're wanting something specific check what's on the day you visit otherwise pop in and be surprised... You won't be disappointed I promise! My favourite is the Incazzato pizza but I am a chilli fiend, the Salsiccia is also amazing and I've had many time the special pizza and I've yet to leave disappointed. Not only do these guys do great simple food but they're all about the customer service experience, many times I've had appetisers on the house if I've had to wait or simply because they wanted me to try it. This place is truly a diamond out in the wild wild west.

I love everything about this place - the food is excellent quality and is always steaming hot when it's served. I've had pretty poor luck with finding fresh tortellini from other places (always frozen or store bought) but the pasta here is amazing. Everything is fresh! Decently priced too. The service is excellent and you will almost always find the owner cooking in the kitchen. He is always very welcoming! When I found out they did take away it basically made my life! I have recommended this place to all my friends and family and they love it too!

Came here on a recommendation from a friend who lived here while completing her studies. The…read morerestaurant is not too big so service is personalized. It's also busy as more customers after us weren't able to get in. Not knowing what's good on the menu, we took AI's suggestion. And AI matched what the server suggested! We got 3 dishes: *Cantabrian anchovy, sourdough, cultured butter *Spaghetti cacio e pepe *Mafaldine, prawns, tomato, kombu butter I loved the mafaldine the most as it has the added texture of pangrattato. I learned later that Pangrattato, or "poor man's parmesan," is a classic Italian topping made by frying coarse, stale breadcrumbs in olive oil with garlic, herbs, and chili flakes until golden and crunchy. I think it's a bit pricey for a small and simple pasta dish. However, I might be comparing this to North American prices.

The staff is friendly and engaging and watching the final prep on the food was great fun. We started with an Australian merlot and two local oysters. Both were so good.

My expectations where extremely high and i must say, they where exceeded. I had the cannelloni, mum had the fish in tomato source, dad struggled to finish his Veal Parmigiana, my wife some creamy meat and our 3 year old enjoyed putting endless parmesan on her penne Bolognese. Nothing like home cooked meals, if you cook at home like this, adopt me. It is in the old school building in St. Ives, which makes it already extra special. Free standing building with outdoor seating as well as kitsch Italian indoor room. Parking never a problem, the atmosphere really throws you back to a time where medici ruled over the north. This is NOT a modern Italian restaurant or some fusion thingy. If you ever been to Tuscany, the low lands what is Venecia, if you ever ran through Verona and screamed loud Julia at 3 in the morning, than this restaurant is for you. It does not get any more authentic than this.
