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