A
little
gem
of
an
Italian
restaurant
in
the
middle
of
Chesterfield.
Although
parking
in
Chesterfield
generally
isn't
great
(you
can
thank
the
council
yourselves),
the
restaurant
is
a
5
minute
walk
to
either
the
donut
car
park
or
the
Crooked
Spire
for
parking.
Food
is
excellent,
unfussy
and
authentic.
The
chef
cooks
from
an
open
kitchen
and
was
really
friendly,
coming
out
a
few
times
to
talk
with
us,
especially
our
kids
(who
can
be
a
bit
of
a
handful
at
times,
but
were
made
very
welcome).
Portions
are
very
generous,
even
kids'
portions;
you
won't
leave
feeling
hungry.
Service
was
also
very,
very
good,
just
the
right
level
of
laid-back
for
a
family-run
place.
Snappy
enough
without
hanging
over
your
shoulder,
or
being
stuck
up
and
pretentious.
The
young
woman
serving
us
was
great
with
our
kids
too,
and
gave
us
some
complimentary
limoncello
digestifs.
The
restaurant
itself
is
quite
nicely
decorated,
half-rustic/half-modern,
and
has
a
lovely
small-place
vibe.
The
acoustics
are
great,
easy
to
hear
and
be
heard
without
having
to
compete
with
room
reverberance;
it's
just
right.
All
on
the
flat,
so
no
disability
access
issues
either.
I
typically
like
to
include
a
few
negatives
here,
but
genuinely
am
struggling.
Portions
were
maybe
very
slightly
over-generous
if
I'm
being
mega-critical,
but
you
can't
deny
value
for
money.
Parking
in
Chesterfield
isn't
great,
but
I'd
have
the
same
issue
at
any
other
eatery
in
town.
That
really
is
that
for
downsides.
I
had
the
place
recommended
and
I
wouldn't
hesitate
to
do
the
same.
It's
the
best
Italian
in
town
(and
we've
had
a
couple
of
good
ones).
In
fact
I'm
looking
forward
already
for
my
next
trip.
5*
all
day
long.
