Just to add there's also a branch in Tenby - but we didn't get to visit that one.
Cons:
1. Small bottle of Fanta was £3.80....
2. It is expensive, most we have ever spent going out for food.
3. 1 staff member was very professional but he was quite above you too, his presence made you feel like he was angry, but he seemed ok... I think?
Pros:
1. Pizza was stunning, I mean, really stunning. I had the Maiona or something with loads of meat, it was great. Had to cut it myself, not sure if that's a thing or not.
2. My wife's seafood thing was very delicious apparently, the squid thing she had was a little over cooked as it was quite tough and squishy. (If that makes sense.
3. Beautiful environment, you really felt part of Italy there. They all (but 1) had strong Italian accents, the music was relaxing it was nice and warm and cozy.
4. Pudding was very expensive, but, to be fair, the portions and taste were pretty darn big and delicious. I had the Cheesecake, I ruined it by having all the sauces, I recommend just strawberry sauce. I had noticed on here the cheesecake is presented differently to everyone... Not sure why. My wife had the Nutella thing and that was basically a pizza size dough on a plate full of Nutella and cream. My wife really enjoyed it, I couldn't of even attempted that after eating a pizza.
Our bills are normally around £50 for me, wife and 2 kids. This bill was £86.59 for me and my wife. That was a huge shock, but, I feel it is worth trying it out and to be honest, I think I would go again. It was a nice experience.
P.s they do the best garlic bread you will ever taste
We were both quite disappointed with the food considering the reasonably high price. My Tagliata Di Pollo Al Balsamico was just too expensive at £19.95 for essentially some rocket, a chicken breast and some (unnecessarily) huge slices of parmesan. Both mains were too salty and the green beans were watery.
It’s a real shame as I’d heard lots of good things about this place.
Its a small humble place which feel really cosy, lovely lit up seating area outside, didnt feel too small inside.
Staff were attentive, welcoming and on the ball, and food was served promptly in good time and piping hot.
I had ordered the lasagna and chips and my wife ordered the pasta with lobster (forget the name).
Price is as you would expect (this is NOT frankie and bennys, its so much better!) but you will be FULL afterwards you get a real rich plateful.
Food was cooked well, lasagna was sizzling in the serving dish and lobster shell was hot to touch - perfect.
The sauce was outstanding, the lobster is a high value dish (£25) but that flavour.. wow.
If you dont want lobster but want the spaghetti and sauce perhaps ask for a dish that has the same sauce. Hands down best sauce and pasta we have ever had.
We dont go out often (once or twice a YEAR!) but if we do go out its not just for food somewhere, we like to hand pick somewhere really nice and this is definitely on the list now. We are looking forward to coming back to try the ravioli.
We also had stone baked garlic bread and they offered it to have as a starter and it filled us both up, the bread also came out straight from the oven. So so nice with a dusting of salt and herbs and a dipping oil.
Wish i took better pictures really, but the smell of the food and just everything about the evening was perfect.
Its a busy little place so book in advance.
Lovely staff, they were chatting away to some families there, was nice to see everyone engaging with eachother and all was just spot on. Really fab visit there made our night.
