The salmon pasta dish I had was nice although much too buttery for my taste, but my boyfriend's prawn pizza was delicious and very good value for money - they also have two size options for pizzas which is very welcome!

Pucellis is good, but I would not say it was amazing. For instance, it is very quiet and tranquil,…read morebut that is probably to do with the fact that the entrance is hidden around the side, as it is above a large café. The food it serves is mostly good, but as an Italian, I disagree that it should be any sort of Cornish dish, as it just simply does not fit the theme. However, the Cornish dishes are excellent. The cream tea is larger than in any place I have been beforehand, and the tea cakes are soft and quite tasty. They have a nice indoor set up, with most of the tables next to large open windows in the summer and the toilets are clean but small. The view out of the windows gives a nice view of the harbour, and I expect it is amazing at sunset.

Pizza and pasta were the mains. I had a duo pizza. The American and the one with burnt ends. The dough tasted great and fresh with good crust. Really loved the food. We also had several appetizers. Dough balls and chicken wings and mushrooms. At the end of the night, they all sang happy birthday to my daughter. Great stuff!!! We will definitely be going back again in the near future.

Not bad but I do expect more when having beer in the UK. Only real complaint is the servers. Wish they would check on us in between bringing the food and bringing the bill.

I would go back but will do our complete order including refills, dessert and request for coffee all at once

This Sam's offers a combination of fish, meat, salads and pizza. The fish is the thing to get at Sam's, it will be local and good. But, I'm vegetarian so the pizza is great for me, the anti pasta is also great and there's a good choice of local beers and other nibbles. The service is good, very friendly and laid back, rocking up covered in sand and wearing flip flops is absolutely fine. So my pre Sam's tip is to go for a nice long walk and a swim along the coast, there's lots of gorgeous coves along the coast towards fowey.

They use real wood Fire oven to cook the pizzas in and it was really beautifully cooked. The salad was delicious but just lacked that little extra (maybe basil?). My dining companion had linguine which was just a bit undercooked. All in all a great lunch spot, reasonably priced and very welcoming staff! Just needs that extra umph on the food front to take it to a 5 star. But they're fairly new so there's time....

We walked past this colourful, vibrant looking restaurant on our first brief afternoon in Looe and…read moreearmarked it for a potential visit during our week in the area. Glad to say we got involved early doors on the second night. As you'd expect on a mid-September Wednesday early evening in a tourist hotspot in Cornwall, it wasn't exactly heaving. Nowhere is at 5.30. Too early for the ravers, too late for the biddies, perfect for the young-parent crowd, which we are firmly in the camp of. Speaking of, there was another young family there (who incidentally we'd seen wandering the cobbled streets of Polperro earlier in the day) and a middle aged, childless couple in situ. Regardless, the service was exceptional. The very clearly authentically Italian server was attentive and helpful throughout and happy to chat and give recommendations. In addition to this, he went above and beyond for aforementioned Baby G - he was grizzling, as is his way at the moment, which was obvious for all in the restaurant to see. I was walking him around when he offered some free breadsticks to keep him occupied. It worked! He also engaged with Asa in a card swapping game - coincidentally (?) handing over a 'rate us on Tripadvisor' card in exchange for one Asa had just picked up. Cynical, moi?! Couple more little, but noticeable, things - he washed up ALL of the dude's paraphernalia, plate, bib and spoon. Really appreciated that. And also the food came at the perfect temperature - not too hot as it always is in every other restaurant we go to, thereby incurring a tentative wait while it cools. They clearly know how to deal with kids, and are truly a 'family friendly' place. Onto the food - Em had a Bianco pizza (garlic butter, pulled pork, mushrooms and rosemary) which was genuinely delicious. Creamy and packed with flavour, with a crispy thin base, and cooked to perfection. To the point where I wish I'd had the same. Honestly one of the best pizzas I've tried for a long time. My beef ragu was very nice, beef shin and pork ragu making the difference between it and a spag bol. Big chunks of meat, spaghetti with the right amount of bite and bounce, and seasoned to perfection. Asa's penne pomodoro was very well received - he essentially inhaled it. Which is about as good as you can expect from a bebe. Dessert was 2x affogato's, which I haven't had for a while. The gelato was gorge - creamy af, and the espresso was lovely but would have preferred it hot. Drinks-wise, Em had her standard prosecco, I had a next level G&T- Malfy Rosa with pink grapefruit. Apparently it's a Sicilian pink grapefruit gin with a hint of rhubarb. I've already got a bottle on order. The overall experience at Mama J's was of sheer joy and blissful happiness. Get here. Now.

On their website it says lunch is served from 9.15. So we get up and in the car to pick up some sandwiches. We get there at 10.05 and order, but they don't start serving lunch food till 10.30. Why state on your website a earlier time then? We've made the drive here, so say we will wait. In return we got given a look as if this was the biggest inconvenience ever. So we waited. 10.30 came and went. We wasn't sure if we could order or not - the lady didn't call us over and say 'Thanks for waiting, what would you like?'. Nothing. So we go ask 'Is it ok to order now?' with smiles on our faces. She rolls her eyes, grabs a notepad and writes down what we want - I asked a question, she couldn't even look at me to answer me, rolls her eyes again then tells us it will be a while because she's not ready. If it wasn't for my boyfriend really wanting to eat here, I would have just walked out and not got the sandwich. In fact, I did walk out and left him to pay. I'm not rude and I don't expect people to be rude back to me. I understand you might be busy, so just explain and all will be cool. What makes it weirder is that I heard her being polite to a local. So maybe as a visitor to your lovely village (as one who might not return for a while) we don't deserve the same respect. The sad part is our sandwiches were good. Really good. My tuna melt was the best I've ever had and it was a really good price at £12 for two sandwiches and drinks. But would I go back while on holiday here? Nope.

The staff were nothing short of perfect, from the welcome when we arrived, to the bar person who cheerfully plied us with many cider samples, to the wait staff who were friendly and efficient. We had no idea what ciders we liked so the girl behind the bar let us try all the different types (sparkling, still, dry, medium, sweet, etc.) They were all great and we were happy with our choices. We got the lamb pizza, and the salmon and mackerel salad. The pizza was super thin crust, perfectly cooked, very tasty. The salad did not skimp on the smoked fish and was also very tasty. The outside seating has a car park between it and the sea so is not quite perfect, but still extremely pleasant. I think another great seating option would be upstairs (street level) by the window. Overall very happy and would definitely return.
