Well what a find and totally by accident, only been open in its new location for 3 months. I cant praise this place enough, the staff and owners were very friendly and very helpful and for the Pizza Oh my Word! amazing ! Pasta was also fab, all made using the freshest ingredients. They also had 10oz fillet steak on which we are told is excellent so may try one next time, they had a good fish selection on as well. Cant wait to go back, visit as soon as you can - you wont be disappointed

Not a gourmet place BUT family friendly, enormous portions of good food, generous drinks. We each…read moreordered a starter-- mmi rdered bread and olives which consisted of a few pieces of ordinary toasted white bread, huge container of olives, and an olive pate. Partner had a "caesar salad", which also was quite large, consisted of chicken ham, whole anchovies, over greens with a mayonnaise dressing on the side (which didn't add much). For mains we had eggplant over spaghetti, and pasta arrabiata-- both of which were quite large and quite flavorful. We then shared toffee cake and ice cream which resulted in an uncomfortable waddle home. Oh yes-- my prosecco and raspberry liqueur drink was large as well. Worth the money--especially if you don't over order like we did.

La Piazza is a nice restaurant in a nice location, with reasonably good service…read more Having dined here several times since it first opened, I would say that broadly the food is somewhere between 3 and 4 stars. In short, perfectly fine, but not spectacular. I have personally had pizza here twice, and both times have found it dry and considerably lacking in both tomato and cheese - and therefore taste. The best item on the menu used to be a vegetarian goulash, though sadly this was taken off at some point last year.

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

The menu didn't have a huge variety but I find that usually a good thing as gives more concentration and focus on dishes. I had enjoyed some mussels the other night so had them as a main here and my partner ordered a chicken wrapped in ham. To supplement this a house salad was ordered. The food did take a while to arrive but I thoroughly enjoyed mine but glancing at partner's it did look uninspiring and dry. Jealously we glanced at a lady who had ordered and epic looking pasta dish which she exclKmed was the best thing she had eaten in a long time lol I really think it is sometimes pot luck aka on what you order. The ice cream to finish was lovely in kinder, strawberry and vanilla. Overall nice atmosphere but could feel the staff under pressure .

Thankfully we happened on Cosa Nostra, a large multilevelled Italian restaurant on Church Street and they had a table free! Shown to the upper levels of the restaurant, it was a good place to relax away from the hustle and bustle on a busy May evening. The menu had a decent variety of traditional and more unusual dishes from pizza to pasta, fish dishes to calzone. Not feeling at our most ravenous, we opted for two standard dishes, linguini carbonara and linguini ragu, washed down with a pint of draught Peroni, accompanied by some garlic bread. When the dishes arrived, wow, the portions are enormous at this place! Two large bowls of pasta and a generous pizza sized portion of thin crust garlic bread. The carbonara was spot on, the creaminess of the sauce contrasted perfectly with the saltiness of the bacon, the garlic bread heavy on the garlic, as it should be and the ragu full of earthy tomato flavours. Gamely though we tried, we couldn't finish any of the components, as we both were just recovering from a cold. The head waiter was so concerned with our lack of progress, he offered to pack us up a doggy bag! Reassuring him the food was spot on, we vowed to return when our appetites renewed.
