Disappointing. We have been here before and we had enjoyed the food and service. This time we waited more than one hour for the mains. We had to complain because no one came to us to excuse or to explain what was happening. Then the disapointment was even biggee because the food was tasteless. So, bad service and bad food for too much money.

Had been waiting a long time to eat here so was looking forward to it, and had an appetite!
The food going to other tables looked amazing, particularly the pizzas.
The 3 of us opted for pasta dishes which unfortunately proved to be a mistake.
2 of us had the Rigatoni Pork, the other had the cannelloni. The Rigatoni was bland and very greasy with hardly any pork or porcini mushroom in sight. The portion was tiny. The cannelloni was also a tiny dry portion. At almost £17 a dish it was very disappointing. Our bill was just under £100. One think that wasn't made clear to our ageing eyes was that the price was not inclusive of tax which was added on to the final bill.
We felt the service was very lack lustre, no offer of ground pepper or grated cheeses at the table. No va va voom.
The manager was apologetic and did offer us a drink when we came to pay the bill, and suggested that we should have said something. We all felt that if this was the portion size they send out there was little point in saying. He gave us 10% discount which really covered the tip, also included on the bill.
I'm sure it's a great restaurant, obviously very popular but a lesson learned is to swerve the pasta options.
It's a restaurant we would return to again to try other items, but perhaps not in a rush. A great shame, but our thanks to the manager.

Took some friends out on a Sunday afternoon in the rain, very gusty wind too! Lovely welcome and great service.
Italian restaurant with great sea views. Wood fired pizza oven gives everything an authentic feel, my friends were most impressed and chose amongst other things Chianti Lasagne, Pizza Tricolore and Pork in mushroom sauce, and delicious Valpolicella 2021 red wine!
I ordered Tiramisu for my dessert!
All in all delicious food and great company made 2.5 hours fly by!

From outside it looked much better, inside the look and feel was not so nice.

Went there today and would definitely return- the pizza was so fresh and tasty- it was amazing! Also had a decaf oat latte which was great! The staff were friendly and the place was buggy friendly.

The restaurant it's getting worse year by year, first time we visited they only gave us the wrong drinks, kind of acceptable, next year wrong food but still decent. Today we had lunch there and food got miserable The pizza was a crape once cutted it had to be rolled to not fall apart, The chicken gave my wife food poisoning and bruschetta which was the only thing I just loved there. The only pasta in the Italian restaurant was seafood spaghetti. I wish this town has at least one decent restaurant but we won't be back ever again.

Visited the area for a holiday and our hosts suggested this restaurant but we were very disappointed.
Atmosphere was lacking and we were placed in the middle of the restaurant where no one else was seated.
Service was absent as it took ages for us to get to order or to receive drinks let alone food. So much so the older gentleman from another section noticed our lack of progress and came from his own section twice to move things along for us. Thank God for him or we may still be waiting now.
Food was average, had been looking forward to the lasagne and cannelloni but could have got better from a waitrose TV dinner. deserts were not fresh and rather tasteless.
Overall, might be good to regulars but wouldn't be somewhere I'd go again.

Arrived at 6:30 sitting outside, didn?t receive drinks until after 7, about 8:05 they checked in on us and said they would check the kitchen where are mains are, they arrive about 8:15 and the pasta is undercooked, not al dente just under cooked, didn?t wanna send it back as already waited way too long. £130 for a bottle of wine, 1 pint of cider, 2 starters 2 mains. Overall a very dissatisfied customer and disappointing experience.
