Penny Bell★★★★☆
Formaggio’s is a really solid local spot with proper old Italian vibes. The interior is a bit outdated, but in a charming, old-school way that feels authentic rather than tired. The food was genuinely delicious - the risotto of the day was a standout and clearly made with care.
Service was friendly and well-intentioned, though the flow could be smoother at times with a few people checking in on the same things. Overall, it’s a welcoming, feel-good local with tasty food and a relaxed atmosphere - somewhere I’d happily return to.

What a wonderful experience. Love Italian food, and these guys did it so well. Opted for the Risotto and loved it. The chips were the best I've ever had, anywhere. Service was efficient, knowledgeable and friendly. Limoncello for after... beautiful! Top marks, Formaggios.
