Probably the most authentic Italian in town excellent food and service

Very accomodating as we wanted a table of four and had no reservation especially for a saturday night

The owners make you feel at home it felt as if you were member of the family eating there

Cant wait to be there again

We called last minute and was fitted in although it was quite full, the staff were very friendly, attentive and constantly smiling, the restaurant itself had a very lovely feel to it and was quite authentic, a little touch of Italy in the middle of Swansea.

We started by ordering a drink, we both had a bottle of beer, both drinks was quite expensive at £4 & £6 each, I would have expected bottles lager to be chilled but this was not the case.

We skipped starters and went straight onto mains, we both had the same prawn and zuccine pasta, the pasta was cooked to absolute perfection, the creamy sauce was ok however it was lacking flavour so we added black pepper and parmesan to add taste, the prawns was just small frozen prawns, I think by adding maybe some chilli flakes to the meal would help to elevate the dish to another level and maybe remove the 20ish small prawns and add just 6 king prawns instead, this would have made me probably give 5 stars instead of 4.

For dessert I had strawberry and white chocolate cheesecake, this was beautiful on its own, however, squirt cream was added to the side, although it's my personal opinion id have rathered have had pour on cream, it was also decorated with treats strawberry sauce, this for me ruined the whole dish as it was cheap and pointless being there, the cheesecake was splendid on its own, sometime, simple is best, my partner had profiteroles, he had 2 profiteroles covered in a chocolate ganash which was very delicious, again though decorated with a cheap chocolate sauce that there was no point in adding, both desserts were quite expensive for what you actually got.

Although my experience here was lovely, there is better Italians in Swansea, I think the dishes need a minor tweak, however the pizzas looked amazing.

Fantastic food and very friendly attentive staff. Also quick service. Could do with a wine list on the menu. Would definitely recommend.

This place is a real gem! The food was outstanding we had 3 courses for a birthday treat. Ham and mushroom pasta was the best I've ever tasted and my 7 year old ate more than she has ever done in a meal! The service was wonderful and when they overheard it was our son's birthday they made a real fuss of him. Genuinely lovely people, authentic Italian. Small and cosy a perfect example of why you should avoid large chain restaurants and support the small businesses the overall experience you just can't beat, prices were great too.

Really good food and the waitress was incredibly patient with our group taking our time (being a bit awkward) with our food order.

A simple but well executed menu with everything cooked to order. Definitely worth the wait!
