"Dropped in on a Friday lunchtime as a solo diner, it was quiet but that doesn't mean service lacked. The team serving were fantastic, with someone new being trained too, who was picking all up quickly. The food was amazing, and completely took by suprise. It's an unassuming look from outside, but once in, seated, and food arrives, it really is great. Really do recommend this for genuine Italian style cooking, with food that is amazingly cooked! I had a starter and main, with limoncello (not on menu?) and all dishes were perfect. I wish I lived closer, but if I'm ever back in the area I will be back. Thankyou all for a great lunch."

"The Canterbury branch truly exceeded our expectations. The service was outstanding: friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The food was beyond good; every dish we ordered was spot on. Highly recommend the truffle fries, chicken, seafood risotto, and lasagne, each one packed with flavor and beautifully presented. Everyone in our group was happy with their meal. Top-notch hospitality and a great dining experience overall. We'll definitely be back!"

"We were greeted warmly and seated in a comfortable area. The staff checked for any allergies and took our orders. The food was presented beautifully and was very tasty.
There was a delay between the starter and the main course but it was a rather hot day and there was only one chef on duty.
The staff were friendly and ensured that we had what we needed.
One can sit inside but there is seating in the outside back area.
The facilities were clean but the flush of the toilets needs checking.
We would be happy to go again."
