We had a lovely meal, very tasty. Lots of choice on the menu. 2 or 3 course menu also available. Very comfortable dining area, with lovely Italian pictures on the walls. Staff efficient and friendly. I?d definitely visit this restaurant again

We live in Spain and ,for the last eleven years, have come over to Ashford for the summer and have never visited this restaurant before. It was only on someone?s recommendation that we did so because the outside of the restaurant looks very uninviting. However, we booked a table for yesterday evening and were delighted to see that the inside was immaculate presented with white table cloths and friendly staff. The food was delicious. Two downsides were that : * we added a service charge without realising that a 10% service charge had already been added to the bill. It would have been nice if it had been brought to our attention. * we still cannot get used to the fact that Italian restaurants in the UK, unlike Spain, do not offer a complementary Limoncello at the end of the meal.

Yet again another amazing meal at this wonderful place! Proper unfussy food cooked really well and amazing flavours ! Service is as good as any London restaurant but prices are more than reasonable ! The wine list is excellent and again very reasonable. All in all an outstanding experience and cannot wait to go back ! See you soon ! Phil , Angela & Mum

I've been goung here for years as the mains and starters are amazing. Its old fashioned but nice. 2 of us, females, went but the older waiter kept coming over and being "flirty", which made us feel really uncomfortable. Our personal conversation kept getting interupted, he was trying to be friendly but it was just disruptive.

Another winning Authentic Italian restaurant in Kent. Brilliant. The fixed-price lunch menu is especially good value.

Have previously given high praise, a recent visit confirms everything remains as it has always been, excellent premises, staff, food preparation and presentation. Never disappointed. Always an 'occasion' and pleasure to visit.

We had an excellent meal here with friends on a Saturday evening. It?s a classic, traditional Italian with an extensive menu, really lovely staff and a great ambience. Also loved the dessert trolley which is like stepping back in time. We had heard so many positive things about this restaurant and now that we?ve been we know what all the hype was about.

Staying in a hotel a short distance away I returned to a family run restaurant I had been to many times and loved, this sets me up for a disappointment? Not at all, it is a Monday evening so I think no need to book, almost a mistake! When I walk in about 7 o'clock, the Trattoria has at least 20 customers, luckily the owner realises I'm on my own but nevertheless shows me to a four seat table in a good position. I enjoy a glass of house Pinot Grigio while perusing the menu. Usually I would have ordered the whitebait and tonight was going to order the whole filleted seabass when I noticed that the set-menu had the seabass include but not the whitebait but it did have garlic mushrooms, at some 6 or 7 pounds cheaper as a deal I took the set menu. I was not disappointed, both starter and main course where scrumptious. As regards wine I had decided to push the boat out and opted for a bottle of Gavi di Gavi which was beautiful and excellent value at twenty four pounds. As always the service was attentive without being intrusive and was very friendly. I have been back many times and love this establishment so I hope to be reviewing it again soon.

Don't be fooled by the unpretentious view from the street ! Inside is clean and welcoming. The menu is comprehensive: we chose sea bass and beef stroganoff, and were treated to high quality food that was prepared and presented in first-class style. Lovely food, lovely staff - thanks for really outstanding meals.

Amazing hidden gem! We?ve lived in Ashford for 23years and never been! The friendly staff were welcoming and happy to help/accommodate! Food was delicious with a great variety and the dessert trolly was the cherry on the top! Tirimisu bellissimo!! Thank you for a wonderful evening and we will be back!

Went to trattorias for my birthday with family we all enjoyed our starters, mains with everything being cooked fresh to order. Great service. The dessert trolley is well stocked with a great choice to choose from. One thing I would prefer to have is the choice of roll instead of a white roll would be wholemeal, just a little niggle, as that would be my preference, but all in all a great meal. We used to visit years ago and they used to serve breadsticks. A great restaurant and the staff are so nice, well dressed. Would highly recommend this little gem!
