I went to this restaurant by accident, but it has been a great one! Amazing people first of with a great and welcoming atmosphere! The food is simple and feels like home made from a traditional Italian Nona! The portions are massive with great quality and prices. I cannot say much on how positive experience this was and how they deserve all five stars!

We found this place after frantically googling for somewhere to eat gluten free. Rocco welcomed us like an extension to his family. Put my youngest at ease, super friendly. Knowledgeable about the food. Food came quick and piping hot and no one could do enough, the atmosphere was so cosy. We live 100 miles away and I would find an excuse to go back. Massive thank you for a wonderful, surprise evening out.

Food was brilliant and very fairly priced. Steak was cooked beautifully. Rocco was so lovely and friendly, coming round to greet the diners and wonderful with the kids. Antonio and Jacob were equally as wonderful. Limoncello flute was to die for! Would definitely return if in the area again.

I’m completely biased as I’m a regular but the food is too good to miss! Their French fries are the best I’ve ever tasted and Rocco has a heart of gold. It’s the first place we would go to if we fancy eating out.

Fantastic. End off Edit... 29/04/2023 Went tonight. Everything was nice, just a bit too much garlic in one of the dishes. But overall. Really nice and great staff.

The best parmo we've ever had! Absolutely lush, also 3 people mains, drinks and a dessert 44 quid! We'll definitely be back. Had parmos in apparently "the best" but this place knocks them out of the park.

We found this little place on Google rated the best in the area. I can confirm it is the best. The food here has so much flavour . We turned up with out booking. They fitted us straight in even though the place was busy. The service here is perfect . The gentleman with plenty of life lessons working was just amazing. The main man behind the bar was just as good. Very happy with this place .We will be returning here again & bringing friends with us.- Service
