Had such a lovely meal last night, great staff and great good.
Will defo be coming back again such a lovely little place
Very welcoming, courteous and polite staff. A lovely varied menu. The meals were very well prepared, presented and served. Items which were meant to be hot, were exactly that. Never felt 'rushed' in any way. A really lovely and pleasant atmosphere. Will certainly be visiting again, and would very much recommend this restaurant to anyone. Excellent.
My wife and I went last night to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The meal was wonderful from the bread and olives through to the dessert wine. Very friendly service also. We both had a fantastic evening and will certainly be going again
Lovely food and incredibly friendly staff, always make it a joy to eat here! Also they were so sweet singing happy birthday!! Thanks �
By far the best independent restaurant in Abingdon with outstanding service from Agne and stunning food from her husband in the kitchen. Advise you to book first as it is very popular now.
My husband and I went on our first date here in 1994, 22 years later we are hoping to visit again. The food was amazing then. I remember , and it's a story we still tell today, how he was so nervous he ordered what he thought was orange duck slices and a huge duck came out on the plate. He was so worried he ate it all then had pudding. I've heard many friends mention how wonderful the food and service still is
Fantastic service, great prices and the garlic bread is to die for. We will be back
Lovely, fresh food & friendly service. One of our favourites in Abingdon �
Always met by friendly staff and the food is excellent.
Fantastic food and lovely service :-) Will definitely be coming again and I will definitely try the chocolate and hazelnut calzone next time!
The best Italian Restaurant ever!! Amazing food, warm welcome and lovely traditional atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Came here for a quick pick me up after work craving a pizza. There didn't seem to be any other notable options in the area so this place seemed logical.. Being a weeknight and on my own they had no issues seating me. I opted for one of their outdoor seats just outside the entrance as it was a lovely evening.
The table was prompty wiped down, menus were provided and my order taken. I very quickly knew what I wanted and that was the olives and calzone.
The food took around 20ish minutes but it was worth the wait. The Calzone was plump and the encasing bread was delicious. The filling could've been a bit more loaded with the advertised toppings of chicken and pepperoni but that is a minor complaint as the overall taste was great and it was a very satisfying meal.
I didn't see the need to order anything else as the Calzone was filling enough.
The service was quick and efficient and they provided me with a whole bottle of tap water to myself which I massively appreciated.
What I will say is that the place is a bit pricey @ £15.25 for the calzone but where isn't at the moment? How can restaurants not raise prices without compromising on quality given the apocalyptic econonic climate? So with that in mind, I'm still happy to give it a 5 and would recommend anyone who likes pizza to visit as you won't be dissappointed. I will certainly be coming back for the calzone picante!
Update - came back for the Calzone Picante. Shame I can't add more stars to my rating because it was incredible!
One of the best meals I've had in a long time. I had the Pollo Milinese, and substituted the chips for roast potatoes.
Lovely atmosphere, and food was gorgeous the four of us had a great time. Bethi our waitress ( she was the only waitress) was amazingly helpful. We had starters mains and pudding, all very delicious.
I love the food here, really fresh flavours, with a real home cooked feeling. I always try a different main when I go, and I'm never disappointed, delicious. Desserts are also not to be missed! The waiting staff are the fantastic, always happy and helpful and keep with that homely atmosphere. Such a warm beautiful gem of a place! Thank you.
We went here for dinner on my birthday and the service was excellent, as was the food. The staff are very attentive and friendly. The food was delicious. We will definitely be coming back here.

Fabulous place, great choice of food, excellent food. Together with a cozy atmosphere and fast service I recommend this restaurant for a day in Abingdon
Comfort food with great portions and a family feel.
Very cosy, authentic and the staff was lovely and attentive. Food was excellent and we particularly liked the sharing starters and shared desserts, good value for money too
The food was excellent. Staff so friendly, welcoming , helpful . Restaurant had nice atmosphere. Perfect spacing between tables. 3 of us spent a very happy couple of hours dining . Would highly recommend this restaurant.
Lovely little restaurant with great decor. The tables were arranged with care and the place felt of high class without feeling posh. Staff were freindly and helpful. We had the bolognese and margharita, both of which were excellent. Menu is available on their website which is really helpful. It also offers take-away.
I've taken off one star because we actually didn't eat in the restaurant but ordered take-away. I called up around 90 minutes before I wanted to collect the food and gave my order, but when I arrived they seemed surprised to see me and the food wasn't ready. I had to wait 15 minutes in the restaurant to collect my food, which was frustrating because I was in a spot of a hurry. They didn't really apologise or offer any discount, which would have re-earned them the 5th star.
Fantastic food and service, we sat outside but as the restaurant was full. Would happily go back. It was a random passing visit but looms like we found a gem
Very good and reasonably priced independent Italian restaurant which has been in Abingdon for ages.
We were holidaying near Abingdon and were undecided about going into Oxford to eat, glad we didn't. We had a lovely meal in a friendly restaurant. All freshly cooked and piping hot. Best tiramisu I have had in ages. I also recommend a side of truffle and parmesan chips.
Excellent starters and mains. A little disappointed with the dessert. Many items not available, and what was available wasn't great. Service was slow and had to ask to take our order, but food came out in a timely manner. Overall loved it and yes definitely going back.
My other half took me here for my birthday earlier in the week, quaint restaurant with lovely staff, food was amazing other half had the n'duja linguine and I had the chicken and Parma ham both meals were lovely and would 100% recommend.
I cannot thank this restaurant enough for how beautiful our celebration was here for my mother's 50th.
We were not the best guests to say the least (we were late as we got the reservation wrong and we therefore had to rush straight to the restaurant without our cake). They showed no frustrations to our tardiness and even gave my mum a little dessert with a candle in, remembering the reason for our reservation.
We ordered ahead some vegetarian options from their menu and made some alterations to items on the day and all requests were fulfilled with no problems. The dishes were divine. Would absolutely recommend this little gem in Abingdon to anyone.
Even the atmosphere is brilliant here. Warm, cosy and welcoming.
Thank you again!
