A lot of the photos and comments appear to relate to the previous restaurant. They now have a new owner and management and operate as La Cucina. Menu has changed and prices too. We went on a Tuesday evening, it was rather quiet. We had 3 Starters and 3 mains. Tempura starter was very hot, crispy and beautifully presented, the only criticism is the batter, which was as thick as the prawn itself. The antipasti was a nice selection and includes some salad and greens. We all had pasta as mains. Lasagne was excellent value for money, it doesn't look much but tasted good. Gluten free option was accommodated, we had pasta Bolognese and Pescatore. Both were delicious.

Good food and a very friendly service from a charming front of house. Liked the ambiance and the place feels very intimate, with an independent personal touch. Soup was delicious, as was the melanzani. For mains can recommend the carbonara and the calf liver especially nice, we got the set dinner option for the calf liver, so a bit smaller than the alla carte option, soooo delicious I will get the bigger one next time. For the set dinner order before 7, really great price and fantastic value. Deserts, best ice cream and superb terramisu. Will be back.

Food was good. Staff were friendly and polite. Only slight criticism would be the small size of the portions. But food was tasty, fast service, and will go again.

I came for dinner and had a lovely time. Tasty food, friendly staff and great atmosphere. I have a lot of allergies and the chef was great and figured out what I could have and made something really tasty. I'm looking forward to going again as soon as I can!

Lovely place, very helpful and friendly staff. We enjoyed a tasty dinner in two, accompanied by a very nice music in the background. Very nice restaurant that makes you come again and a place where you feel welcomed. Tasty food, plenty to choose from.

Delicious food. For Pinner this was high end cuisine. Almost all dishes cooked to perfection. Presentation impeccable. Staff both welcoming and attentive.

Food was great, but the service needs improvement. Waitress was very welcoming but after that she was on her phone and we had to keep walking to the bar to get her attention or to remind her of orders we had made. Forgot our drinks twice, and there were only 2 tables to serve.

First visit for me, although my Sister and her husband had been a couple of times previously. Booking had been made but turn-ups are accommodated if space is available. Pace throughout our meal was good and very relaxed but attentive. Food (one starter, three mains and three desserts) was very good. Portions were large. Ambiance was good although, as previous reviewers have mentioned, a bit bright. Will be certain to return.

We had a recent 70th birthday party and I cannot stress how well organised the whole event went. Food was served on point, drinks were a plenty and the attention and care to detail was extraordinary. I don't think there was anything the owner said no to. In other words, he was extremely accommodating. This party was organised by my wife and she was incredibly impressed with all the compromises and suggestions placed forward. The food was lovely so much so we want to go back to appreciate a wider selection of the menu during a dinner. Pizza and pasta had lovely taste. I highly recommend it. If you go on Sunday you will be able to park for free outside the restaurant (Mon-sat restrictions). Otherwise side roads with parking exist.

This is a hidden gem. We went for Sunday lunch and all 3 courses for 4 of us were really tasty, well presented and good value for money. It was sad to see the place had only 2 tables occupied. It is a unique selling point and a bonus that they have coffee on the house at the end of the meal. Shouldn't put a good review as next time we want a table there won't be one !!!

I was recommended to visit and didn't regret it. The staff were very friendly and the food was excellent. I had the prawns to start followed by the starter portion of the salmon ravioli. My partner had the special pigeon and the pork. We were very happy with our meals and are planning to visit again.

This place is very good, with a nice atmosphere. Lighting is perhaps a little bright but decent service and very friendly. Please check it out but try and go early to get the deal in the evening or lunch time otherwise it's a la Carte menu. Worth trying out and I had the vegetable lasagne with a green salad....the sparkling water is a bit expensive. The chef is very good with a decent reportoire, but please god save me from more pizzas.

We went here for our wedding anniversary and the overall experience was really positive. Starters were absolutely amazing and staff attentive. The main courses were good but could have done with a bit more salt. All in all though for a local restaurant it's very good.

First time visit and received excellent service and delicious food. We even asked for something off the menu and the chef was happy to oblige and was delicious. The octopus starter is worth a mention. Will be returning soon. Highly recommended.
