I'd like to score higher, but I'm afraid I can't. The staff are warm and friendly, restaurant itself is tidy enough, nothing fancy. The food however is just not great, some odd choices made in how to cook it and ingredients used e.g. calzone had meatballs allegedly, however they were green, did not have the taste or texture of meat either, and appeared to be more like stuffing balls. Other dishes rely waaay too heavily on paprika, and over powered the rest of the ingredients. Fillet steak was cooked well though and tasted great. Unless you are going for the very reasonable meal offers they have on, I couldn't justify spending as much on the regular menu prices.

We had really high hopes for the place after reading reviews but sadly this turned out to be the worst Italians weve ever had. So starters I had a prawn cocktail and it was very spicy? I dont mind spicy food but I dont think a prawn salad should be spicy. Chilli powder used maybe?. My dad had the minestrone and said it didnt taste anything like minestrone it was just a watery tomato with a little kick. My sister had the garlic mushrooms on toast however it came as just garlic butter mushroom soup and the mushrooms were well unappetising. So mains I got the spaghetti Joe or Oli maybe which was actually really nice. My sister got the spaghetti meatballs and she says they were the worst tasting meatballs ever, they were also very soft and gooey and just were balls of mush. My dad had the spaghetti amatricano I think it was called and I understand its meant to be spicy however it was inedible it was that spicy. He even gave most of the chillis to me and couldnt eat it (he usually orders a Madras or Phal at the Indians and doesnt even flinch), so for a pasta dish to be that spicy it must of been very hot! My mam said her calzone filling was okay but the outside was absolutely rock hard and thick. Garlic bread was nice though! The cocktails (sex on the beach) were pretty awful for me however my dad enjoyed them. Shout-out to Gabrielle he was amazing the whole time, very attentive and kept on top of everything even though he seemed rushed off his feet being the only one on the floor bless him. Also my poor dad has been up all through the night and this morning very ill. Its a 2/10 for me (my pasta was nice) and sadly wont be returning. Pics to follow.
