New in town and looking for a delicious meal, we looked on Yelp and found this Italian restaurant…read morewith average reviews so we decided to try it. What a magnificent find it was! This has become our new favorite Italian restaurant. We started with a bottle of Chianti and calamari, followed by the main course of pasta carbonara and lasagna. Muaaa! The food far exceeded our expectations. Very delicious, very friendly and prompt service. They look after you very well making sure you have above average satisfaction. I don't understand why it isn't a 5 star. More customers should rave about it here. We will definitely be returning soon.

Well what can I say? Service is not too bad. We had both owners helping out and they were fine: the…read morenew lad (first night) struggled to remember what was ordered. To be fair he was a nice chap so that's ok. He made the big mistake in my eyes of forgetting my grappa; not forgiven but everything else he did was good. Bruschetta whilst we waited for our starters were good and our starters were; fritto mixto (over cooked) and spaghettini carbonara (perfect!!!!) got the show on the road. Our mains were pasta and garlicky herbs and a pizza were excellent. No complaints at all! Drinks were a bottle of oprosseco and then a bottle of verdicchio. Space between tables is tight and this is the reason I didn't rate it as 4 stars. More space would earn another star. Finished with good coffee (but no grappa! Worth a visit!!

There are 2 dishes that stand out for me; 1. Lamb Naga and 2. Lamb garlic bhahar Both options are fantastic, the first if you need some spicy heat and the second to keep vampires away!! The lack of 5 stars is only down to the fact that the prices are starting to rise a bit too quickly. Nonetheless. Go. It's fab!

As a bar of an evening I love this place! The musics good - the DJ constantly swearing over the mic…read moreon a Friday night is ahem interesting! - the staff are efficient and the general atmosphere is good! Drinks are reasonably priced and the beer garden is a great place to congregate with patio heaters for when it's a bit cooler! I must add though I wouldn't bother visiting in the day- they offer cake & coffee for £3- the drinks were Luke warm and the cake was a tiny (even the kids would've been disappointed) piece of waitrose's finest & lovely as it is I could buy the whole cake for less and enjoy it more!! What is a great night venue is dark & dingy by day! With tables stacked up at the side, which is no mean feat considering they are old beer barrels, it felt like an after thought! The whole cake & coffee thing should either be done properly or not at all - for what's on offer I personally wouldn't bother opening in the day at all, it must've cost the owner more in utilities and staffing than was actually made- however if they need staff in the day I'm more than happy to take a job- being paid to sit chatting with friends in the beer garden is most agreeable! Shame really because it could be so much more if it was given some thought - we ended up leaving & going to Costa to get a hot drink! The 3 stars I gave it were purely for the night time side of things sadly brought down buy the miserable existence/experience of the day visit!

This place is always being taken over or at least it seems that way. I have to say the current…read moreowners are doing something right as they have a great balance of nice food, friendly atmosphere, good service and a nice layout. The restaurant is alongside the canal in Wheelock and in the summer makes for a lovely setting of course it's nice in winter too ha ha. The food is good though don't ask me what cuisine it is I'd say sort of mixed up European Italian, Spanish with Fish and Chips thrown in and a carvery on a Sunday! Relaxing place for lunch, dinner or just coffee on a lazy afternoon. Very nice.

There is a little restaurant added to the side that serves all the yummy food and drink you can buy over the counter should you prefer a take out! Worth a visit in fact the only reason it got 4 stars as opposed to 5 is because occasionally i have felt a little intimidated while just browsing - but everyone can have an off day and it hasn't stopped me returning.

The staff are friendly enough but what makes it very good is the food. A generous 2 course set menu is £15 a head; add in the Cobra beer (4 pints), side orders and other wonderful side dishes and you pay £30. One word of caution! The heat ratings, from experience there (after 3 visits), are not soo good. My main course was a lamb naga jalfrezi rated as 4 stars; 5 being the hottest. That was only really a 3 star. Nevertheless, the quality of the food is wonderful. Highly recommended!!

It offers…read moreChinese/Thai food in a rather minimalist decor that's spoilt by music that's much too loud and over-enthusiastic air conditioning. Food quality was very good but the service was a disaster. Soups came reasonably quickly but our main courses took such a long time that we had to ask the waiter to replace the hot bowls they'd bought us because they sat on the table so long that they were cold again - twice over. The portions of main dishes were of a good size and the food was very tasty but the rice was really rather mean - it's not as if it's expensive! Soft drinks were small and rather mean. I think I'd be more likely to go for a takeaway than to eat in at this place. It was just too cold and noisy and lacking in any kind of 'Oriental' style. Dinner for two cost £37
