“Simply the best”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 November 2014 NEW
I visited the restaurant last Sunday on the recommendation of a friend. Italian food is usually my favourite when i go out to eat so i was really looking forward to it - I was not dissapointed.
The starter, Gamberetti Piccanti was wonderful. The prawns were full of flavour and succulence and the garlic and chilli sauce was spicy without being overpowering. The main course Risotto alla pescatora was easily the best Risotto i have ever had. The tomato and garlic sauce complimented the marvellous array of seafood and the rice was cooked to perfection.
My partner's choices, pate and chicken in a venison and red wine sauce looked lovely and I'm assured they tasted great as well. We concluded with the Tiramissu which, not surprisingly, was beautiful.
Whilst the food constitued the best italian meal i have had it was almost surpassed by the staff. Our waitress was attentive, polite, witty and seemed to take a real pride in our njoyment of the food.
I was a bit surprised reading some of the reviews here - though the spoof ones mde me chuckle - and must say I'm horrified at the responses by Paolo. I think it's very poor form to abuse people for making what they consider to be perfectly valid criticism even if i don't agree with them. His confrontational and, quite honestly, insulting attitude on here may put people off visiting which would be a great shame. If you're the type of person who is put off by someone who coms across as a bullying, hectoring, pseudo intellectual ne'erdowell, please think again. I couldn't praise the place highly enough and can guarante you'll love it here.
I just want to know how he's going to react to being told that his establishment is sensational but he's a ****. He canlt really say - you weren't even there.
