Run by brothers Franco and Darix, this is a very friendly restaurant with outstanding food at good value. The home made pasta is the best I have ever eaten and there is a range of other outstanding, creative dishes. The garlic bread (a simple delight)...More

  This is the kind of neighbourhood Italian restaurant that we all want. After Friday's great dinner, we realised we had walked past it too often in the last year on the way to lesser meals. Aubergine parmigana cooked beautifully, my favourite spinach and ricotta canneloni...More

  Food good; service a bit sketchy. Started well,with our glasses never running dry, then all but evaporated towards the end. Waiter actually snatched away our empty wine bottle without asking whether we wanted anything else. Took four of us about 15 mins to flag down...More

  This is our favorite place in Bath for authentic Italian dishes – we always go there when we want lasagna, penne arrabiatta and a great bruschetta. During our last visit today we got soup of the day which was served with their incredible garlic bread...More

  A rainy summer evening was just the time to visit this – as advertised – cosy and welcoming restaurant. The upstairs can only manage a few tables so we were downstairs in the basement. Unfortunately, this does not present well; there is something claustrophobic and...More

  Not fussy, not pretentious not big either but great tasty quality Italian food. Sitting on the ground floor you wonder how the food can be prepared in the very small kitchen in front of you. Probably the best Italian that I've had outside of Italy....More

  Fantastic traditional Italian restaurant. Parmigiana was the best I’ve ever tasted, and the sea bream was cooked to perfection. Would definitely go again.

  We come here fairly regularly – the food is great and we like the family feel of the restaurant. But we don't drink and the soft drinks are very limited – no alcohol free Peroni, elderflower presse, ginger beer or mocktails eg Peach Bellini -...More

  My wife and I and son & partner had dinner here one evening. Friendly, efficient service and a good selection of starters and main courses. I finished with a cheesecake, which would have been better served with some cream or ice cream. It can get...More

  After escaping the Christmas markets on a wet and windy Friday this was a very welcome refuge. The restaurant is quite small so I would recommend booking. I had the calamari to start which was spot on – it's a simple dish but so often...More

  Authentic Italian restaurant. Great service. Ordered from the lunch menu and a bottle of Chardonnay. Good value for money.
