    This restaurant is a place you cannot go past. Over the past month or so we have made this our home base for meals. The service and quality of meals at a reasonable price is beyond belief. We are always made to feel welcome and any special requests are always dealt with I am sure we can, it’s a can do attitude that beats anywhere else we have been. Thank you

    This was our second time here and it was every bit as good as the first. Service is excellent and the staff are always friendly. We've mainly had the pasta dishes and they are very good. They are the right size although our daughter had to take some of the lasagne home to leave room for her tiramisu ! The restaurant has a good vibe about it which attracts a good mix of ages. It's a bit of a drive from where we live but it's worth the effort.

    Lucky to get a last minute reservation. First time dining after recently moving into the area. Lively Saturday night, despite being busy we had exceptional service from our waiter. The pizzas were fantastic, quality pizza dough. The best pizza in the area. Appreciated our wine recommendation from the friendly manager. Professional service and recommend the pizzas. Thanks for a great date night, our new local.

    Food was good, service also. Noise level near kitchen was too loud and will not sit there again. We ordered Italian donuts for desert and they were not cooked properly but the waiter agreed and returned. He offered another desert or drink free of charge but we were full and did not accept but thanked him for the offer.

    So disappointed to receive a 10% service charge on top of our bottomless bill. Don’t advertise a price if it’s not accurate. Incredibly poor service only insult to injury. Food great but you shouldn’t have to beg for a drink when you have paid a set fee.

    Enjoyed the night very much, made better by a lovely South American waitress who was efficient, pleasant and welcoming. The kitchen did well and the scallops, calamari were good as a starter, with the mains of barramundi, lamb rigatoni and lobster linguini were well received. A mention on the Tiramisu which was a very generous portion and delicious. Well done to the staff and management.

    Great food, no faults there and I would love to eat there again for the food alone. However, the service was very lacking. Took some time to get our orders taken and then our food took a while. We found it hard to flag down the servers to ask for desert and questions in general. When we asked for take away containers we waited for around 15 minutes and realised they forgot us. While it was busy when we got there it was quiet when we were having desert so I’m not sure if was just poor communication but service was definitely off putting.
