This is my favourite Italian of all time, I have been coming here for at least 7 years…read more.
Tucked away in a corner .. near the cathedral this place is easily missed..I really believe they should advertise this place a lot more on the main street ..just so people are aware of its existence,,and not settle for crappy Bella Italia on the corner..
This place has great ambiance. warmly decorated with Italian colours and plants, and genuine staff...they have really great pasta dishes, pizzas but I come here for the fish selection. I have eaten everything in the fish section...and there is a lot to choose from :)...not to mention the diversity of wine to wash it down with...
Every person I have brought here has always chosen the steak for their main...and nothing has ever beaten it....and. they have always compared their future steaks to this ..
I usually go for the bruchetta to start off with, with anchovies, but last night I thought I would try the minestrone soup...this was tasty but I have to say it was forgettable..
For the main I chose the tuna steak...and it was shame ,,,as for the first time in 7 years I had to complain :( When the manager had first asked me if the food was okay I had said yes...but that's because I had only tried the vegetables by this point ,,,which were tasty..when I tried the tuna it was very very dry....I got to about half way and had to give up...The staff were very understanding about it and even the manager had tried it and agreed...The way the situation was handled was great..and he offered me free dessert which i took...I do forgive them in this instance because its been faultless every time and it was really busy last night,,
The manager informed me to ask for the tuna steak to be cooked pink in the middle next time,,,but to be honest I have never specified or been asked on how I want my tuna cooked.
Overall if you want good Italian food come here, they do a fantastic Valentine set menu...I would book in advance for this ...and if you want to dine here on a Friday or Saturday night
