Best meal in ages, small intimate, booked ahead-go to this restaurant

Beautiful and romantic Tuscan-style restaurant located in the side streets of Caernafon. We booked through emailing the restaurant who replied promptly. The staff were attentive and the owner greeted and checked on all of the guests - achievable due to the small number of tables. Selection of wines from Italy available. Limited menu but a good selection of starters (platters and bruschette) with pasta/main specials. The selection of bruschette were delicious. Large servings of pasta in which the pasta itself was not overcooked - Amatriciana was flavourful but the sauce was slightly watery and the pancetta was small, not allowing proper browning to enhance the flavour further. Ragu was also served with well cooked pasta but lacked the depth of flavour expected from a slow cooked traditional ragu. We tried both the selection of panna cotte and the afforgato - both were lovely and a good end to the meal.

A quiet, relaxed and cosy atmosphere. Food was faultless and the staff were attentive without being overbearing. Chef and owner was passionate about his business. Highly recommend this restaurant. I'll be going out of my way to go back.

A fantastic restraunt, and worth booking ahead if you’re only in Caernarfon for a short stay. The food and wine are excellent, as are the staff. I always leave feeling much better than when I arrived.

The food was great and waiter was friendly and helpful offering a quick Welsh lesson😊

What a nice little find. Managed to book a table on the day for 7.30pm. Friendly staff, great Chef and loved the way he was doing his rounds to customers to ask what he thought of the food. I couldn't fault it and said Bellissimo. It made him laugh. Had a 3 course meal. Bruschetta Funghi, the Special Ragu Bolognese followed by the Ice Cream Truffle with coffee sauce. All were fantastic and would definitely highly recommend and can see myself going back again. Friendly atmosphere and do not feel rushed.

Wow, just wow. A very small restaurant with a small menu that is tucked away behind Caernafon Castle, making delicious authentic Tuscan food. We had 2x shared platters between 5 to start, and omg, the fried bread with honey was amazing, and I could have just eaten a massive bowl all on its own, we then had a small bowl of pasta which was full of flavour and definitely big enough after the platters which were huge. The owner/chef was lovely and spent time talking to us, which was really nice. Overall, the only thing I'm annoyed about is that I don't live closer. We were in Pembrokeshire on holiday and drove all the way to Caernarfon and stayed an extra day just so we could go to this restaurant. That's how good it is!! I will definitely be going back, and soon.

Very friendly staff, amazing chef, great cosy place. Would go each time I stay in Caernarfon for sure
