I've been lucky enough to get a cancellation and being able to enjoy the amazing food and warm and welcoming service. Food, staff, atmosphere so great I can't recommend it enough. Can't wait to go back in June. Many thanks to everyone for making it special and unforgettable experience.

Bellissimo ! A sweet, funny, beautiful host who put her heart and soul into making her diners happy. The staff were very friendly, efficient and engaging. I haven’t tasted food as good as this since my last visit to Italy. I’ll certainly visit again in the near future. 🇮🇹❤️

The third time at the Secret Italian. It is advisable to book well in advance otherwise you probably cannot get in. There is a set menu consisting of anti pasti, pasta, main meal with side and dessert. The cost is currently £35.00 per person and is excellent value for what you are served and you also need to bear in mind that you do not have to pay for expensive wines and beers as you are invited to bring your own. The Secret Italian do not stock drinks (except water) so make sure you have your own. My faves are the anit pasti (meat, mozarella, meatballs etc) and also theTiramisu. Margaret is the ameniable host with a couple of ladies working hard in the kitchen,. Everything is spotlessly clean and there is enough parking for every diner in the building. Dining time is 7pm and you'll be finshed at approx 9.30-10pm. All in all nothing to moan about. A great experience.

What a delicious meal! 6 of us from Hoyland Readers' group went 13/12/23. It was my second time, the others hadn't been before so I was a bit nervous. Shouldn't have been. They were all delighted. Mags is a brilliant host and the girls in the kitchen work hard feeding us. Thank you. Now I'm intent on bringing the family!! Annie xx

Me and my partner were lucky enough to get a cancellation. I'd heard about it and read the reviews so we were looking forward to it and we were not disappointed! My partner is a vegetarian and it's a set menu so he was a bit apprehensive. However, he enjoyed every single dish and so did I...could not fault anything! The dessert is a Tiramisu and I've never been a fan but I have to say that was one of the best desserts I've ever had! The service was outstanding from start to finish,especially Jana who cooked and spoke to every customer in between...she is amazing!

Our first time here and what a gem of a restaurant, the Valentine's menu was delicious, 6 starters before the main meal and then the desserts. All the food had so many flavours, we were Absolutely stuffed. You won't be disappointed with this Italian. Margaret and Jana are so welcoming. Many thanks Chris & Allison.
