   Disappointed….. Ordered the squid rings, sausage carbonara and small prosciutto pizza. The $20 squid rings weren’t prepared properly. Leaving the membrane on made them chewy and the mushroom sauce (which tasted more like vinegar) was the wrong choice for squid. The $33 sausage carbonara was over cooked packet spaghetti in a cream sauce with half a dozen bits of sausage cut up into it. Don’t get me started on the store bought pizza base on the $22 Prosciutto pizza…….. Poor overpriced food (for what it is)….. but a great atmosphere…..the lady playing the accordion was brilliant.

   Tonight was an absolute disappointment, and I can't shake the feeling of having wasted my money. I honestly can't find a single positive thing to say about the food. First, the wine was corked, sour, and unpleasant. The squid was tough and chewy, served with wilted salad and loads of balsamic vinegar—no care or effort put into the dish whatsoever. No respect for a delicate seafood which should not be dawned in vinegar. And don't even get me started on the carbonara. Adding cream to carbonara is an unforgivable sin in Italian cooking, and what I was served was basically overcooked pasta drowned in cream and parmesan with almost no meat. It was clear that the pasta was store-bought, and the dish was a sad excuse for one of Italy’s beloved classics. The pizza was no better—I'm pretty sure the dough was pre-made, and the toppings were barely there. It felt like a mockery of authentic Italian cuisine. The only saving grace of the evening was the live music, which, at least, gave us something enjoyable to listen to. However, that alone wasn’t enough to salvage the experience. This place completely disregards the respect and tradition that Italian cuisine deserves

   Great pizzas and pasta here. They also have steak and other meals that I haven't tried. Had a Combination pizza that has chicken, beef, lamb and peppercorns. Smaller place but there always seems to be lots of available seating, not sure why. Family business where they're always friendly. Update: in a new location in Herne Bay, even better in every way and finally seem to be getting the volume of diners you'd expect at a restaurant with this quality of food and service. Friendly family business. Have been twice since they moved to Herne Bay and found parking down side streets pretty easy both times.

   It's an authentic Italian restaurant and the waiters are very hospitable. There are plenty of options for pasta, but I ordered the beef lasagna, where the rich texture of the cheese and the flavour of the tomatoes counterbalance the greasiness of the cheese and meat. The dried fruit in the rum ice cream seemed to have been soaked in rum beforehand and was delicious

   Amazing service and staff. They always have prompt service and accommodate you if they can for walk ins but it is best to book as it is a small restaurant. Definitely try the lemon meringue pie it's the best I've ever had. Pasta is delicious, as is the pizza. What's best is that because of how wonderful the owners/ staff are it feels like family which extends to how customers talk to each other as well. Is one of our new favorites to go too.
