What a brilliant restaurant. It was absolutely packed out. We counted 5 groups celebrating birthday meals. The staff were exceptionally nice and I don't know how they managed with all the orders and still had time for a sense of humour.
The food was everything you would expect from a decent Italian

Jess could not have been more helpful, moving us from a small noisy table in the bar area, to a spacious table in the main restaurant. She was attentive and knowledgeable and went out of her way to be helpful. The food was absolutely delicious, and we can't wait to return.
We visited on a very busy Saturday evening, and sat a table by the outside seating area which was lovely.

NEW LOCATION REVIEW.
Excellent food, really very, very good.
On the night we (4) were there I think the staff were under severe pressure, seeming bothered, rushed, forgetful, the legendary 'La Mama' friendliness having the night off.
Too many covers squashed into too small a place (evening, indoors)
Went there with my 2 sons.We all thought the food was great along with the service.We were served by Jess who was very friendly and efficient.
We would all go back without exception.
We visited The Smugglers Run in Christchurch for dinner last Friday. The original building is 200 years old and believed to of been part of smuggling route (hence the name)
The newly refurbished extension area is much more in keeping with the pubs style.
Plenty of booths for group dining inside an
A lovely authentic Italian restaurant. Exceptional food & drinks, excellent service.
My only negative comment is that we were seated outside in the garden and the chairs (ordinary metal garden variety) were very uncomfortable to have to sit in for 2 hours, whilst enjoying a meal. Some cushions would
