    Due to no gas or electric all of a sudden we were not able to have anything off the menu. We were not able to leave as my husband had dropped us off and had now left. However the kitchen rustled up a Greek salad, a platter of cold meats, cheeses, olives etc and a bowl of chips. Don't know how they cooked the chips!! It was all delicious and we were not disappointed. Shortly after our meal the engineer was able to connect the power. Also the service was great.

    Warm and friendly staff, nothing was too much trouble. Very obvious that this place is ran by Italian staff with a passion for good food. They even have ingredients growing in the car park ! Risotto was delicious. Partner ordered the tomato soup and it was so full of flavour and so was the Calzone he ordered. Didnt have one but saw they do cocktails too that looked delicious. Highly recommend this place.

    This was our first meal here, and we loved it. A hidden gem that's well worth trying out. Don't let the frontage put you off as once you go around the back, you'll see they have a lovely outdoor space with plenty of seating. It will be gorgeous in the summer. Lovely friendly welcome, attentive staff, and timely food, which was delicious!

    Me and my husband LOVED it here and will be returning as soon as we can. Food was unbelievable- fresh, tasty and not drowning in oil! Can thoroughly recommend the tomato and pesto flatbread for starter. Excellent Value for money, portion size is perfect. Nothing is outrageously priced and we had a two course meal for 2 with 2 alcoholic drinks each for under £60. Staff are incredibly polite, friendly and professional and a credit to the place. (Loved the fish tank!) Outside area is very well looked after and ideal for a drink in the sun.

    This country pub is in a really nice setting. Me and my son took the dog and sat in the garden having a pint. I went inside to see if they had a bag of mini Cheddars for the dog. I asked the barman who did not know and said I'd have to ask the boss. A lady was stood virtually in front of me, but she was doing something in a book with her head down concentrating. I thought it polite to wait until she looked up, as there was no way she didn't see me waiting to speak to her, as by now, we were the only people at the very quiet bar. I waited... and waited..... and waited.... after over 5 minutes she looked up and I said 'Sorry to bother you, do you do mini cheddars" . She growled at me "I've told you at least 5 times, we dont". Now, yes, I'm slightly hard of hearing, but at no point did she look up or acknowledge me, and if she knew I was there to ask that question, why just leave me there standing waiting until she dained to look up? I don't know if she was just in a bad mood, but she certainly wasn't over busy, and i did wonder why it was a very warm Saturday afternoon in a country pub which was over half empty. Perhaps I wasn't the only person who had received the same "friendly" treatment. Anyway they didn't do Mini Cheddars so I had to buy a bag of crisps, and I don't know if I'm just being tight , but £1.50 for a standard bag of crisps I thought was taking the mickey. Perhaps they don't like people going there who are not eating a meal. Either way, I won't be going there for a Saturday afternoon pint again. There are plenty of nice country pubs who do appreciate the business.

    Although the staff and service were superb, the food wasn't great. Fishcake starter was sent back as it was still frozen, the soft drinks were more like soda water, the main courses were average at best. I hate leaving bad reviews but we are all disappointed 😞

  • 5/5 Nicky H. 4 months ago on Google
    The food was amazing. Very friendly staff . Only criticism is that we asked for another drink and the guy made my partner finish his drink so he could take the glass, also was a bit cold in there , air con was on . But overall , we will definitely return to try more food on the menu.

    Nice menu, lovely steak. Friendly service but very quiet lunchtime visit so not much atmosphere. Still enjoyed the experience though.

    Absolute gem 💎 Really pleased we discovered this Italian restaurant, will 100% be back soon it was a delightful meal.

  • 5/5 Grim R. 7 months ago on Google
    We went for a nice relaxing evening meal, the service was very good with very polite staff. The food was proper hearty Italian food, we certainly weren't disappointed. We didn't have dessert though because we were too full from the starter and the main 😁

    Decided to give the Tipperary a go with some friends and try somewhere different WISH WE DID NOT…!!!!! . There was 8 of us and all tho the place wasn’t busy at all the service was terrible the waitress reply to everything when asked about the menu was “ I don’t know “ even a simple question “what’s the soup of the day” was given with the same reply after being asked to go and find out she eventually did came back with an answer . The food itself was the worst food we’ve ever tasted all tho having said that two of the starters were ok at best. 2 of us had the fillet Rossini the chef clearly didn’t know how to cook it as our sauce can only be described as being made up of gravy granules with some port running through it with lots of lumps and with some cheap shop brought pâté chucked on the top of the overcooked steak with no care what was sat on a soggy piece of bread this was really unpleasant . Others had the seafood linguine the prawns were hard and over cooked and the shellfish was very gritty this was also very unpleasant . Having tried to rectify our food it was met with no apology and a poor attitude . On top of all this there was a singer walking around the tables singing so loud we couldn’t here our selfs think never mind talk to each other maybe if want s singer on perhaps wait until the diner service is over not at 7pm when people are just arriving to eat . On the whole the food was far from cheap and a very poor quality. WILL NOT BE RETURNING ..!!!!

    My husband and I visited here today,11/8/23, after a day in lovely Stratford. We hadn't booked a table. Was greeted by a very nice gentleman. He was very polite and friendly. Shown us to a table and we ordered food. We had excellent meals.Both very happy with both our choices . Menu very good. After, we sat in the tranquil garden. A great experience. Only 30 minutes from our house too. Will definitely visit again!! Spotlessly clean, also. All staff nice. Absolutely 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟. Many thanks for the wonderful service and great food!! Looking forward to seeing you again, on our next visit!☺️

    Went here on Christmas Day with my mum and son and could’ve not fault anything. The service was brilliant and all our food was excellent. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone for Christmas dinner and looking to book here again next year!

    We came here on Thursday night for the first time. The food was delicious and the service couldn’t have been better. A brilliant Italian restaurant which we’ll definitely be returning to.

    Came across this place by accident and we are so happy we did. The food was amazing and portions are huge, will definitely go there again.

    We particularly like Italian food so checked this place out before we went, all sounded good and a bonus for us was the fact we could take our dog. We sat in an outside room as dogs were not allowed inside the main restaurant, fair enough as we are use to that. The food was lovely, I had a pizza and my wife had the mushroom stroganoff, very tasty. The outside area was well looked after with other seating areas and lots of fairy lights, really nice. My wife enjoyed her tiramisu pudding as much as I enjoyed another pint!

    Usually very lovely food and great service, but unfortunately on this occasion (mom's birthday meal) 6 of the 7 meals arrived, 2 without their sides and the last meal wasn't delivered until two of the group had finished. No apologies despite us saying we were not happy and us chasing up the missing dishes before we started eating.

    Stopped unexpectedly at this restaurant at the weekend and what a find! Best steaks we have ever eaten! Lovely family run business and a special thanks to Joseph for looking after us, cannot wait to return to try other dishes. Please try you won’t be disappointed!

    We had a pleasant but very surreal visit here after calling in on our way to Winchester. We hadn't expected an Italian style menu which was fine but then caught out by the live Elvis act on! The staff were friendly and the food was fine and we were pleased they managed to squeeze us in. Happy to recommend.

    A lovely Restaurant, the food is amazing and the service is top notch. Simply beautiful place to dine 👌👌

  • 5/5 Nicki G. 2 years ago on Google
    Great food and great quality at a decent price. This is not a run of the mill chain, where the food is frozen and reheated. The sunday lunch was well presented and enough without being over the top, and was enjoyed by my partner, the Chicken Diane was gorgeous and tasty. A great value sunday lunchtime meal and most enjoyable and although not local to us (we were visiting the Dogs Trust nearby), we were so impressed we will return.

    Great food. Had a wide selection to choose from. All very good. Only downside was, they said they could cater for Gluten Free, but upon arrival we were told there wasn’t many starters to choose from.

  • 5/5 Andy B. 2 years ago on Google
    What a great dining experience. The service was excellent, as was the food. The food was piping hot and served with a smile. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Value for money, and looking forward to going back soon.

    The place has a nice ambience. Being vegetarian, we had limited options in the menu.... Ordered the Mediterranean platter, had a nice spread and assortment. Staff was really nice... There were a couple of minor issues but was a good experience otherwise.

  • 5/5 Robert L. 1 year ago on Google
    Very impressed, four of us had a meal, all very good! Highly recommend the minced crayfish ravioli as a starter, all main courses excellent, with several interesting "specials"! The staff were very friendly and helpful, and happy to explain any dish on the menu! Also a resonably priced menu with some interesting dishes. Highly recommended👍

  • 4/5 Kata B. 1 year ago on Google
    The calamari was fresh, the chicken liver was very tasty. The spaghetti was generous portion. Could have had a bit more fries with the steak and when asked for vinegar we got white vinegar instead of malt, but otherwise good experience at all.
