Absolutely fantastic experience to dine here. The waitresses were so friendly and hospitable; the food was excellent - tasted amazing and great portion size too. I'm just sorry I don't live nearby (I live in Liverpool), otherwise I'd definitely be back!

We visited at 6pm to get the special early bird price. Friendly, attentive staff, good range of menu items and food arrived really hot. A box was willingly offered to take our leftovers home for tomorrow and the quality and taste would have made it a sin to leave them! I should also mention that the fact we were on the early special price did not mean we were in any way rushed to eat up, the whole experience was relaxed and pleasant.

It was an unexpectedly busy Saturday night but the staff took time to workout how to fit us in. The food was good, the staff friendly with a relaxed atmosphere - we had a lovely night. We were a family of 2 adults and 2children. Would recommend.

On a cold and rainy night we enjoyed the food and good service. I loved the mushroom risotto, and everyone liked their steaks, which were all cooked as per requests. The desserts were lovely. One small point on that night was we had all travelled some for up to an hour and then walked and got so cold en route, we didn't really warm up during the evening as the restaurant temperature seemed on the cool side. We did ask if the heating could be adjusted, and there was a small heater plugged in, but it didn't seem to help heat the restaurant as much as we needed to reverse the effects of our journey.

Had a lovely night. My friend is like a Teeside J Lo so asked for a drink a certain way and the lady who served us was so obliging, she was great. The staff were lovely and the food was really tasty so will definitely return

Very reasonably priced food, quick and friendly service. I’d definitely recommend them over some of the more expensive Italian Restaurants in Ripon.

We came here as the menu looked very appetising. It was the perfect fit for our family. Our children really enjoyed the pasta and pizza dishes, and my husband and I enjoyed some mains and starters that were cooked perfectly. The wait staff did an excellent job meeting our needs and they were very welcoming and attentive- but also left us to ourselves when we wanted to be. It was a great experience and the food was delicious.

Authentic and popular Ittalian restaurant with friendly and cheerful staff. It was still quite busy midweek with happily-chatting customers. It's midrange with no food or wine snobbery. Easy parking quite nearby outside Booths supermarket - free after 6pm. The food is good too - made onsite to order with personal expertise of the chef. Highly recommend.

Been here twice now and I'll definitely be returning. Portions are generous and prices are more than reasonable. The latest time I've gone my friend and I got the tomato garlic bread to share as a started - which was a good choice, as the garlic bread is quite big! For the main I had the Risotti Alla Cream Fungi (see photo), which was absolutely gorgeous. The total bill came to just about £20 each - sharing a starter and both having one alcoholic drink. Staff is very friendly and serve quickly. The restaurant wasn't very busy the two times I've been, one of which was a Thursday evening.
