Food and service was out of this world. The pumpkin gnocchi, in a French/ Japanese restaurant, was the best I have ever eaten. The Bansho oysters were fantastic. Together with the scallops. Drink prices reasonable, but not a cheap night out.

Our whole family enjoyed ourselves for my daughter’s 20th birthday dinner - she wanted Italian, and when I told her that it was a set menu because the ingredients were purchased that morning and meals were prepped accordingly she was so excited. It was worth every penny- delicious and definitely fulfilling. The staff brought out a candle with cannellonis - thank you Zia RINA’S for a beautiful night

An amazing Italian experience from start to finish! 🇮🇹🍝 The service was outstanding: friendly, welcoming, attentive, and incredibly efficient. The staff were always up to speed, making sure everything ran smoothly while creating a warm and genuine atmosphere. The quality of the food was exceptional, with every dish showcasing incredible flavours, fresh ingredients, and the passion that makes Italian cuisine so special. Every bite was a pleasure, full of authentic taste and beautifully balanced flavours. What I appreciated most was the feeling of being transported straight to Italy. It wasn’t just about enjoying a great meal; it was about experiencing the true essence of Italian hospitality, where good food, a welcoming atmosphere, and a love for sharing beautiful moments come together. Complimenti to the entire team! You can feel the passion in what you do, and it makes all the difference. 🇮🇹❤️
