    This restaurant is a hidden treasure. If you haven't been, you are missing out. We went on Saturday evening and had the most beautiful seafood meal. I live in Torbay in Devon and have a plentiful supply of seafood but I have to say I have never had anything like the seafood sharing platter I had here. The food was fabulous and the service exceptional. Waiting staff were smiley and attentive without being over the top. Can't wait to go back.

    This was one of the best restaurants I have been to. There were 5 of us, and the restaurant staff accommodated us very well. The manager was really lovely too. The food was 10/10, it was the best Italian food we have had. I recommend this restaurant, and you can tell that the chef’s heart and soul was used when making the food. Absolutely amazing, can’t wait to come again. Everything was cooked to perfection, we had a variety of starters and mains, and had tiramisu and the pistachio cheesecake for dessert. I really recommend this restaurant, such a lovely place and atmosphere 💕

    One of the best restaurant i have ever been. Called them to book a table and they said they are fully booked. Few minutes later i have received a message they had a cancellation so we can still get a table. Which restaurant will contact you directly? I think its pretty rare. Staff is friendly and helpful. Food is brilliant. Tasty and big portions. And the presentation is quite nice. Usually when you order a drink all you get is a glass with it . Here they serve your cider with fresh fruit in the glass etc. The baked seabass took about 40 minutes to cook but the waiter has told us beforehand that it can take so long so it was not a surprise. After you receive your bill they serve you a shot of limoncello.nice touch.

    The food is always divine here and the setting lovely. The Italian radio in the background gives a Mediterranean feel to the experience. The prices are surprisingly high for such a small venue, in a nondescript location. Prices mean visits will be restricted to just special occasions, when it would be nice to visit more regularly.

    Three of us visited for a celebration and reserved online. Upon arrival we were greeted nicely and shown to our table at the rear of the restaurant. Last time we visited L'aragosta it was just the small front of the shop and small upstairs, now it has a large rear reastaurant too and it was well decorated and furnished. We had called ahead and asked if they served non alcoholic Prosseco, unfortunately they didn't but if we wanted to bring our own there was a £10 surgharge. The meal itself was very nice and cooked well, HOWEVER the meal wasn't complete and sides needed to be ordered to complete the meal. Mixed vegetables an extra £5 so three meals add another £15 to the bill, add 2 fries add another £7 to the bill so that's £22 on top of what your paying for your main meal. Throughout the evening we purchased from the bar non alcoholic beers and 2 gin and tonics, wine and water, so I was rather surprised that the £10 corkage had still been added even after purchasing other drinks and especially as they didn't sell Non alcoholic prosecco. In all the food was lovely and the staff were attentive and considerate, only let down by incomplete meals and the £10 charge for supplying our own Non alcoholic prosecco. Pictures added are of meatballs, tiger prawns starters and main of surf and turf before adding sides. Total bill, £153 for 2 starters, 3 mains and drinks.

  • 3/5 Grateful “Totally G. 9 months ago on Google
    We were lucky to find it, it was conveniently located not too far from the car park. The first member of staff who came to take our drinks orders had no idea what was in the menu, I found that disappointing. Yes, I understand they specialise in seafood and pasta, however they don’t have gluten-free pasta, and if some your group members are vegetarian, well they only have a couple of dishes for vegetarians😢, but nothing for vegan ones. I ordered risotto and asked if they can make it vegetarian, I was grateful that the chef was okay with that. It tasted okay, but it was very rich and heavy on the stomach. The meat eaters in our group were very happy with their food, so I would overall it was a nice experience.

  • 5/5 Debbie J. 1 year ago on Google
    A spur of the moment booking which did not disappoint. Numerous choices on the menu, caters for g/free but no specific menu. Beautifully cooked and presented, a feast for the taste buds. Also caters for larger groups. Would highly recommend.

    Truly unique experience if you love Italian food. Great service but most of all exceptional food. One of the best lobsters I’ve ever had, super fresh product delivered in a friendly atmosphere. Definitely coming back soon!

  • 5/5 Jane J. 1 year ago on Google
    Went there for the first time last Sunday and can’t wait to go again! My husband had a fillet steak which he said was the best he’s ever had. I had calamari- which again was the best I’ve ever had! Such a simple dish but lots of places mess it up. For my main I wanted a pasta dish that wasn’t on the menu but they happily obliged and chef did it specially for me - again it was sublime. Lovely restaurant and friendly helpful staff. Good value for money.

    Beautiful authentic Italian food. The staff are extremely welcoming and friendly, the limoncello is a lovely touch too.

  • 5/5 Cha B. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing and authentic Italian food. Great service and staff were very attentive. Food arrived within 20 minutes and must say delicious and cooked just right. Would definitely recommend to visit this place. Although restaurant looks small from the outside it has further tables in the back room and upstairs. The restaurant itself is very clean and modern. Will be returning here very soon.
