Its a good place to hangout for casual dinning. The stewards are friendly here and the Italian food has been amazing with fine drinks. We had the pistachio cake with ice cream. It was a yum dessert too.

I don't think I've ever given a restaurant a 5/5, but this cute little place deserves it.

Their interiors are slightly bohemian and very Tumblr, with a turquoise/teal color scheme, framed pictures and comfortable sofas. The staff is polite, friendly and helpful.

Coming to the food!
For starters, we ordered calamari and mushroom bruschetta. The calamari was crispy, not the least bit oily and was served with garlic mayonnaise. The bruschetta was delicious: the mushrooms were juicy, and topped with parmesan cheese.

For mains, I had the Chicken Milanese, which is basically breaded, pan-fried chicken. It was served with chips and vegetables. It had a slight lemon flavor, we enjoyed every bite.

For dessert, (unfortunately I couldn't take a picture because it was THAT good) we ordered the Chocolate Sharing Board. It had a slice of chocolate almond cake, a bowl of profiteroles, and chocolate gelato. The profiteroles were delicious (although very messy) and filled with gelato, topped with chocolate sauce. The cake was soft, and the gelato was simply divine.

Do check out this place if you already haven't done so! 💕

A Saturday evening visit, and we had a table reserved . The staff were very polite and provided excellent service. The menu offers an extensive choice of starters ,main courses and desserts. We all thoroughly enjoyed the food, the portion size was large and very good value for money.

Food was excellent. Lovely place and would come again. Great range of pizzas and pasta dishes and a load of other tasty dishes. Unfortunately the only thing that let it down was the service. It was fine at the start but after our mains we were kind of forgotten about and polishing glasses or rearranging tables were more important than us. But maybe it was just an off night so shall be returning and hopefully it was just a one off. Edit: just been again and it was great. Service was speedy and pleasant. The food came out also very quick and it didn't compromise on the quality as it was excellent. I'm not to sure if lamb works on pizza but it was worth the try as I had never tried it😅. Overall much better service than last time. Very good and shall return again I'm sure soon

Great food, good service. Their premium pasta are really good. Homemade lemonade is another drink worth trying. Conveniently located in town centre. I would suggest to book a table if you plan to visit between Thursday and Sunday night. They are very full.

Very hospitable staff, tasty food.. We had butter fried king prawns, meat dish & pasta.. If you truly want to indulge in Italian, a good joint. Price is wee bit on a higher side

Always had good food here. Friendly service. I like that if you have food left over they will box it up for you to take home.

Really good service. We had to wait hardly anytime at all for a table. Yet we were given a free drink to thank us for our patience. The food was delicious. It is not haute cuisine but it is tasty and good value for money. Our Polish waitress was very nice and efficient. We will go back.

Food so good, it'll make you rethink all the bad "Italian" food you've eaten before! The garlic bread was great, it's better without the mozzarella cheese. The pasta was perfect. Even the takeaway was good the next day! The service was unremarkable, restaurant was clean and the bathrooms were well taken care of.

Nice place to eat, had a table available very quickly. The food is good, although a shame that my favourite calzone is no longer on the menu! The staff were attentive but not pushy and we didn't feel rushed to finish our meal (in fact were the last ones out the restaurant!). Atmosphere was nice, music wasn't too loud, just a pleasant place to eat. I'd recommend checking apps as normally a good deal to be found too. And again staff were happy to put the offer through. Definitely will be returning.

Delicious lunch from the lighter option menu. Love the new purple pesto pasta- it’s my latest go to option at Ask. The service a little slow considering it was quite quiet (they seemed a little more focused on cleaning behind the bar etc) so it took longer than we hoped to pay the bill. Very friendly staff, clean interiors and comfortable seats. Good value with our Tastecard.
