Tried this on the off chance and so glad we did. Lovely to try something different from your normal high street chain food. Having spent 3 weeks in southern italy and eating in many restaurants we found this to be pretty traditional. The portion size was perfect and allowed us to have 3 courses, I just about managed my cannoli dessert, which was just like mama used to make. Pizza had a really lovely flavour to it and the pasta with clams was so fresh tasting. Definately going back to try something different from the menu. Lovely friendly staff/owner, and the lemoncello at the end of our meal was most welcome. It was a lovely way to celebrate our wedding anniversary.
We had a fantastic afternoon here for my dads 70th Birthday. The food was fantastic and the staff were amazing and very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend. Thank you all so much for making the day so special. Keep up the good work.
Small Italian restaurant tucked away in the colchester city centre, somewhere you need to go!
✅Amazing service.
✅Food was delicious and a good size.
✅Reasonably priced.
Will definitely come back again!
This is THE best place in Colchester (I would even say Essex) to eat authentic Italian food. Pizza is amazing! I always keep coming back to this restaurant because the food is so good. Staff is lovely and the atmosphere is relaxing.
Fantastic family owned restaurant which serves authentic family recipes. The service was amazing and the food even more so! 100% recommend for a nice taste of authentic Italy
Our Pre-cinema lunch on Saturday was a delight. It’s the second time I’ve been and it was as lovely an experience as the last time and certainly worth a glowing review. Staff were super friendly. The menu was what I’d expect from a good independent Italian (I noticed the the specials board was blank, but I imagine pre-covid would have been full of interesting and specialist seasonal dishes) pizza was delicious on our previous visit and this time I had a stuffed mushroom starter, delicious lasagne with side salad and a panettone dessert recommended by the waiter washed down by a rather nice fruity Sicilian white wine. Their Coffee espresso was particularly tasty with the dessert. It’s going to be an easy recommendation and I look forward to going back again and again.
Came here to treat my mum for Mothers Day and they could not have been any more accommodating. Excellent service, fantastic food and a great atmosphere. 10/10 would recommend! Thank you!
We popped in for lunch before visiting the castle.
Service was super and quick but not rushed.
Food was lovely, definitely recommend coming here rather than any nearby chain restaurants.
This is the best Italian restaurant I have been to in Colchester. I have visited Italy many times, and it reminds me of the typical small, family-run restaurants that are all over Italy.
The food is absolutely lovely, and very authentic. Everything is made from scratch, and you can really tell. The food is so much better than all those chain restaurants. You must try the tiramisu.
The service was friendly, and efficient. The prices are reasonable. I'm only disappointed that I've lived in Colchester for years without knowing about this place!
This is by far the best Italian food in Colchester. I have eaten here several times and have learned to order whatever is that night's special (although everything else on the menu is also beautifully done and mouth-watering delicious). The service is great, too -- very friendly and welcoming! I can't recommend it enough!
First time visit last week. Ordered garlic bread as a starter which unfortunately was a bit cooked up & dry. However I ordered one of their delicious pizzas for main. Can't remember the name but toppings were chicken salami & pepperoni with mushrooms. Absolutely gorgeous. Lovely plentiful toppings & tasty base. A compact restaurant but tasty pizza & good service. I would recommend & will be back!
It's no joke to say we've waited 7 years to visit this restaurant and it's been well worth the wait! Amazing carefully put together vegan menu which changes every 4 months so you're never bored for choice. Perfect tasting and authentically created Italian food. Highly recommended!👍
