    Me and my wife went for a nice meal there as we live 2mins away and it was our anniversary I'd looked on Google an it matched romantic meal for 2, starters where spot on! Mains was also really nice, an we shared a pizza of witch we took half home l with us in a take out box. Too stuffed for dessert but looking nice, Staff where attentive and pleasant. Will be going again and will recommend :)

    Very reasonable and friendly price with high quality food and super friendly and efficient staff. Very pleased that the bread served warm when it comes with the pate. Very aromatic risotto and nice and thick carbonara. Also, a not so sweet tiramisu. An extra sharing: I have witnessed 3 peoples’ birthday today (15/6) in this restaurant, imagine how good the vibe is~~

    Visited recently for my birthday, hadn't been for years prior to that. We had an excellent evening, the staff were excellent, very friendly and entertaining and were brilliant with all of us. The food was really good, portion size was perfect for us and the quality was high. Service was quick but we didn't feel rushed. The cocktails were a definite highlight!! Can't wait to go back in the new year.

    Went with friends to celebrate exam results. Food and service were top notch. Aldo is a great manager who remembers our names like family.

    Food was presented well and there was plenty of pleasant staff to attend to us. From a food side service was quick from the kitchen but the pate could have done with another bit of toast due to the volume of pate. The pizza base was lovely but not overly keen on the rest. The carbonara was nice to eat but a little flavourless. I’d give it another go to sample something different on the menu before fully making up my mind

    This has been the best meal ever, the presentation was superb, cooked to perfection. The only sufficient word I can use to describe our dining experience is 'magnifique'! The staff was very friendly and gave us an exceptional experience! Thank you for a wonderful lunch and excellent wine - we shall return!

    Had a lovely meal out last night - group of 10 people. What great value! The food looked beautiful & tasted it too. The atmosphere is always great & the staff are attentive - but not overly where it feels uncomfortable.

    Went in for a special night and the staff are super friendly. The food was amazing. I had a flattened steak which was nicely grilled and well-matched with the sauce. We didn't have space for any desserts, but the staff surprised us with a small ice cream which made our night more special. Thank you for bringing us such a lovely night. We would definitely go again and highly recommended!

    This was our first visit and definitely won’t be the last. The staff are amazing and the food outstanding. The atmosphere was brilliant the restaurant was busy but it wasn’t noisy the ambience was set just right. The staff took time to have a chat and you can fully understand why they have been there for 15 years. Thank you for making our evening special, we will definitely be back very soon.

    Use to love this place and was a regular until I got a really bad meal. I've not been in for over three years and decided to give it another go as it was our anniversary. Truthfully for the price, we won't be going back ever. The food was OK, but the service was slow. Well over an hour to receive our starter and main in a restaurant which I wouldn't say was even busy. I'm not complaining about the atmosphere because everyone is paying customers, and they are just as entitled to enjoy themselves. But we were sat next to several young lads celebrating a birthday, talking football and some kind off sing a long, not exactly what I planned for my wedding anniversary.

    Excellent food and service and a really lovely friendly atmosphere. Thank you so much for a great night out. Virgin cocktails were absolutely delicious and the food was excellent. Excellent service and just an all round good night.

    Went in for my son’s 19th birthday meal with 13 people and the staff were so friendly and courteous. Staff came out with his dessert and sang happy birthday to him. Food was delicious and would definitely go again when back in the UK.

    Been quite a few times, always 10/10 service from staff and food is always faultless. Our favourite place to go👍🏻

    Visited here on Saturday evening , being new to the area we are trying to find restaurants we will use regularly. We have tried the other Italians in the area, but was passing here on our way home and decided to see if they had a table. We were lucky as it was very busy, it had a lovely atmosphere and the staff were very attentive. I ordered my go to lasagne and my partner had the gamberoni both with a rocket and parmesan salad. The food was delicious and we both said it'll be our choice for Italian as it just tipped the other two in Urmston. Would recommend this place.

  • 4/5 Peter J. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent food, waiting staff very attentive; would have given 5 stars but we waited quite a long time for our food to be served. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.

  • 5/5 Barry Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Just been for a lovely anniversary meal with the other half...requested for a bottle of wine to be waiting for us upon arrival, and it was...staff very friendly and attentive, very reasonably priced and the food was hot and delicious. This was my first visit, and rest assured, it won't be my last!

  • 5/5 Courtney P. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful restaurant with amazing staff. Made my baby very comfortable and was very interactive. Food was incredible, highly recommended! A hides gem! Plus very affordable.

  • 4/5 Olivia B. 1 year ago on Google
    Slightly strange experience with one staff member who seated us. When taking our drinks order he refused me a coke and held the menu up to my face pointing at the cocktail list which I politely declined asking again for just a coke and he seemed very unimpressed and then proceeded to ask me multiple times sternly if I was alright. My boyfriend asked for water for the table and he replied “it’s possible” begrudgingly. We were both confused and didn’t feel welcomed by him but the rest of the staff were lovely and food was delicious. Definitely worth a visit just very strange service from one of the staff which is a shame. Didn’t catch his name but he was middle aged and bald.

    I've been here many times and it's always the same. Impeccable service, great food, clean and pleasant dining area. I would say the prices are reasonable for the quality of the dishes. Well worth a try if you like Italian food!

  • 5/5 Jacqui P. 1 year ago on Google
    Food fabulous, a little loud for the romantic occasion of my birthday but decor is lovely. A little slow for the bottle of wine and served without glasses initially but a minor error on a busy week day night. We will definitely be back with the family

  • 5/5 Carol R. 2 years ago on Google
    Food was amazing. Staff were very attentive. We went for a special family meal and it was great. Menu was extensive. Definitely go again.

  • 5/5 Brad L. 4 years ago on Google
    Our first visit here and it was well overdue. What a really nice place. The atmosphere is really cosy, it almost feels like you're part of the family. All the staff are really nice and friendly and there is plenty of them so there is minimum waiting time for them to come and see what it is you need. The food we had was amazing. We obviously had 3 courses and each dish was packed with flavours that will definitely be bringing us back. It was great to see Ray and was introduced to Aldo, honest lovely people.

    I enjoyed the spicey sausage pizza, but boy was it spicey! The cheesey garlic bread wasn't particularly cheesey. The portion size of my family's menu choices looked to be on the small side and they finished their meals quickly. The 'medium' steak was more 'medium/well'. I had vanilla ice cream to finish. I needed it to cool my mouth down. It was delicious, however, the half a strawberry garnish was mouldy. Our waitress was attentive and friendly. I, personally, prefer the other Italian restaurants in urmston.

    Love the food, the atmosphere, the staff, everything. Never had a bad bite from here and will happily continue to come here while it's this good. Love it.
