A very small bistro with not many tables. We phoned to book a table, as we tried to get a table the day before and there wasn't any availability. The food was good and our mains arrived quickly. But a party of 14 arrived and our dessert order was forgotten and we had to remind the waitress.

Maybe it's a marmite thing, but I was disappointed in this restaurant. "Italian Fusion" left me assuming it was fused with something good, but it was more Italian pub grub.
First the good
The young staff were nice, and I get the impression they are good trouble shooters!
I also enjoyed the breads (one normal and one garlic).

As for the ham on a washing line... apparently it is a thing, but I don't think it should be!

Now the not so good..
The mushroom risotto came served in 2 domes, very unusual,and not very good. The lasagna was ok, but a bit of a pub classic. (Tiny salad on the side).

I didn't go to the toilet, but my daughter said it was strange, and had a bin for toilet paper as the flush was not working.

The restaurant decor was old fashioned and tired, some might say traditional, but that is being generous. It is was better value for money I would give three stars, but it cost as much as a good Italian in Manchester.

We didn't complain about the food, as I think they served the dish they expected. It just didn't do anything for us.

The hand cut chips were frozen French fries covered in black burnt bits of old food.
Tinned peas? Really do you think this is acceptable?
The steak whilst being very tender was far too salty.
Front of house staff were really helpful 5⭐️ to both of them but very disappointing meal. We don't get chance to eat out very often this experience will not encourage to do so again in a hurry.

Just back at our Hotel room after the most Amazing Italian food I have ever had in my life.
The service from the young lady who was working Alone in a very busy Resteraunt was Excellent and very Professional. The food was so go I wanted to ask the Lady Chef who owns the place to Marry me. Honestly if you are ever in Caernarfon you must eat here but make sure to book as it gets very busy 👍🏻

My family of 4 had dinner and dessert. We were all exceedingly happy with our meals! Everything we ate was delicious. No one went away hungry or wishing they had something different. The pasta, lamb, seafood and desserts were splendid!

We had a lovely dinner here. Ordered the lamb as recommended by many reviewers, and it did not disappoint! The lamb meat is tender, juicy and just slides off the bone easily. Well marinated and flavoursome. We also ordered the seafood spaghetti, which is equally good and tasty. They had a beef soup special which we tried, and its great too! Tiramisu was abit sweet for our taste bud, but should be good for those who like their dessert sweet.

Overall a great dining experience with attentive service. We felt bad for those who walked past to check out the restaurant, but didnt come in. They had no idea how much they've missed out on this dining gem!

Thank you for the great food and service.

Edmund and May.

My husband and I were walking down the street fairly late looking for a bite to eat, we were weary and starving after climbing to the top of Snowden earlier. We stumbled upon this place and we couldn’t be more pleased. Everything was delicious, from the pasta to the garlic bread to the desserts, this quaint cozy place gets 5 stars, highly recommend!

Good food.
Not easy to work out how to get in the place!
Toilets were a disaster; door wedged open with a high chair, then struggled to shut as got stuck on the floor. Desperately needed decorating in there. Appears to have been painted with a sponge in blood red colour, randomly on the wall, so not appropriate in a toilet. Then the hot tap didn't seem to work, soap dispenser was empty and then the paper towel dispenser was empty so no way to dry your hands.
Staff didn't seem overly happy to be there and serve. Never a smile.
Disappointing as the food was nice.
So the rest let it down.
