    Sadly I will not me going there again Table for 6 sat 11th dec 2pm 3 times during the week I popped in to request where I would like to sit each time told of corse Arrived and table was not ready and there was only 2 tables in use. The service was poor waiter spilt water over me. 2 of the starters were Luke warm . The min corses 2 had been micro waved and we could not touch plates. And 3 of the mains were tasteless and bland The kids pizza was cold and soggy. We asked for a kids pasta We requested it not be micro waved and could it he served on a cold plate as it’s for a 2 year old. The waiter served it wearing oven gloves And it was bubbling it was that hot . Sadly later that nite 3 / 4 adults had upset tummy’s And needed the toilet a couple times. It’s one family meal I will never forget for the wrong reasons And none of the serving staff were wearing masks I was totally disgusted with the whole experience Save your money don’t go there !!!!!!

    Nice meal, the service was good and reasonably priced. I wanted an iced coffee but they didn't have it on the menu, but they were happy to try and make one, which turned out delicious.

    This was my 2nd visit, my first was in August for my wedding anniversary and last night for my birthday. A group of friends plus my husband and I had a great evening. The food and service were of a very high standard and the atmosphere friendly, happy, wonderful. Our friends loved the food and the 3 that weren't able to make it, missed out on a great evening.

    Taken here as a guest, but the prices seem reasonable from the menu. I had the swordfish steak and it was delicious! My fellow diners meals all looked good and my partners seafood risotto was very tasty too. The calzone that was served to one of the party was HUGE! I would recommend this restaurant.

    What a hidden gem 💎 Having lived in the area 10+ years I was surprised I’d never noticed this place once a friend recommended it to us and I went down to collect our take away. Absolutely fabulous inside and perfect for a date night with the Wife, so I will be back to eat in next time. In the meantime, the take out was delicious, great food, god portions and excellent customer service on collection - thank you 🙏🏼 🧼 Clean and tidy 🙋🏻‍♂️ Friendly staff 🍕 Great pizza 🐟 Delicious seafood

    Booked in here for an early Saturday evening with the family (4 adults, 2 kids) and were really impressed. Attentive service without being overbearing. Good choice of dishes with some old favourites plus new additions. Portions were huge so make sure you’re hungry! Pizzas aren’t from a wood-fired oven but were very good. Tiramisu for dessert was excellent. Overall very happy and will certainly be back.

    Really nice authentic Italian place where the waiters clearly should passion for their heritage. The food is something to shout about, but, I have to give huge kudos to the toilet facilities. Most places are let down by their welfare, but the toilet here was really beautifully designed and well kept. My only negative is that the waiter accidentally covered me in Parmesan.

    We ordered prawns for starter, they were really bland, carbonara pasta was nice but it is not how they make it in Italy, more like an English version with lots of cream. The sauce of the polpete pasta was tasty, however, the meatballs tasted funny, you can taste lots of flour on it. The ragú calzone was not good, bread was insipid, ingredients tasted cheap. The garlic bread was hard, no flavour of garlic and the bread was also bland. I ordered my food here cos of the goods review, maybe I am just to hard to please!

    We treated ourselves to a take away dinner and it was delicious! Really good classic Italian food. Surprised it travelled so well! I look forward to dining in their restaurant for my birthday next month.

    We ordered a takeaway pizza and pasta. Pizza arrived cold, not cooked and underdone. We had to reheat the pizza in the oven. When the delivery guy brought the food to us, he didn’t have a pouch to prevent the heat escaping from the food. Maybe that’s why? Still very underwhelmed. Pasta was mediocre. A huge disappointment as i ordered after seeing good reviews.

    Booked last minute. They had availability for last table. Food and Service was good. Prawns for starters was good. And the pork main dish. Plus pizzas.

    Dining at some of the very best restaurant in the World - has taught me that the very best establishments take being the best personally, service and food. And this is my experience with "La Banca" I made many last minute and very difficult request of them - and not only was I responded to immediately and politely - I was made to feel my request was important to them. They worked what I would consider a miracle and satisfied my request.Dan & Pushpa thank you so much. Your restaurant outstanding reputation is well-deserved. Just love it !!!! and my favourite, peaceful place to go...

  • 5/5 Sarah M. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely meal with friends for my birthday. Prawns were lovely but for the price I feel there should of been a bit more. Steak was lovely, cooked well with lovely sautéed potatoes and mushrooms.

    Great atmosphere, great food, great staff! We went as a large group and the team took care of us very well, super attentive. Food all came out at the same time and was delicious. Price wise really good to, we all had three courses with drinks and spent on avg £38. Would highly recommend for any occasion.

    Good social distancing in place, hand sanitizer upon arrival. Staff wearing face masks. Food also very tasty, the calamari starter and pizza I had were top notch.

    We have had several take aways from this restaurant & we have not yet been disappointed. Every time the food has been deliciously tasty & arrives hot ! The portion sizes are fantastic - we would have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant. We will definitely be visiting for a sit down meal.
