I came here with my Mum once and absolutely loved it, and it's a regular lunch spot for my Mum and Grandma. It feels really authentic and it's overall such a pretty restaurant. I would definitely recommend here, however I do remember it being quite tightly packed so it may not be idealistic for wheelchair users. Other than this, it's a very lovely place with a great menu and not overpriced.

Sevenoaks is a small town with oh-so-many coffee and lunch places. I was amazed when this opened as…read moreit offers sandwiches, coffees, light lunches and drinks - just like SO many other places just feet away. Even Strada, a perfectly respectable joint, is only some 20 yards distant and their cooked lunch menu is so similar that one wonders at the sheer nerve of the Soprano people!!! Anyway, their coffee was rounded, not bitter, and their lunch and dessert pleasant (gnocchi with Gorgonzola & walnuts, lemon cake). The prices were reasonable. The staff a little dreamy & the decor is 'unpretentious Italian restaurant'. It's been very well supported initially. Watch this space because, unbelievably, another Italian deli place has opened in the last fortnight down the road: Valentino's. Sevenoaks, haven of the Middle Classes, is now surely the Little Italy of Kent!!! I'll be writing to The Telegraph..........

I've only ever been to the bar, but with its cask lined walls and comfy armchairs it makes for a really cosy place to relax and explore the vineyard's excellent selection of wines. Moreover, if you visit on a sunny day you also have the option of sitting outside on their adjoining terrace, which has stunning views of the Kentish countryside. It may not be the cheapest place for a drink, but I've found Chapel Down's wine to be consistently good and it's definitely well worth a visit. Of course, if you can't find a nice, sober person to drive you there and back and you don't feel like hiking, there is a shop downstairs which sells all of their wines to take away. It also does tastings and sells a range of deli products which are perfect for a snack or a spur-of-the-moment picnic in the countryside.

When we walked it, it was quite busy as a huge party was occupying a table across from us. A few other guest always dining as well. Not a big place but still very intimate and quite nice. Bar available but not sure if it's full bar. We did have a couple bottles of wine with dinner. Menu, straight to the point. Tapas and more tapas. As there was couple of us, we all chose three dishes to share. Each all looked amazing. The prawns, chorizo, mussels, meatballs, hummus, sun dried tomatoes salad, mushrooms, fried halloumi sticks, the skewers, pate, avocado toast, and croquettes. Everything was really good apart from it being slightly different from the states. The only downside, the skewer were a bit dry but presented beautifully. Everything was quite tasty and plenty to share for what we've ordered. Mussels were quite tasty in the sauce, chorizo was really good. Pate was more of sliced meat versus a spread. Service was great, staff was really friendly and chatty which was great. They ended the night for us with a little cocktail shot which was quite nice. Overall, amazing service, food was great, atmosphere was nice and friendly. Will definitely return.

Small, friendly, a nice location just off the main shopping area, reasonably priced and generous portions. The food was delicious and worth venturing over for whether you are local or not! We had crisp halloumi, spiced aubergine with minced lamb, chilli peppered squid, pork belly and chips, a lovely crisp Pinot Grigio (my friend's a white drinker) and a couple of liqueur coffees. All this for £30 a head including a tip. The staff were efficient, attentive and charming. Young and energised, I loved the way all the front of house staff presented one table with a birthday dessert and sang with evident delight to the guest. We were made to feel very welcome despite booking a late table and the arrival of a large party of blokes who'd evidently been out for a Christmas get together added to the very European feel of this little gem.
