Went in after my daughter graduated as her favourite food is pasta. Lovely looking restaurant but the food is very average and also over priced. Won’t go back unfortunately as it just wasn’t great and I would have expected a lot more for the cost. £16 for a lasagna that was small and not even a side garnish. Shame

Service was good. Our waitress was really friendly and polite. Unfortunately we can’t be as complimentary about the food. The “calzone” starter can only be described as nothing more than a folded 49p kids margarita pizza from the basics range in Morrisons. The texture was as if it was defrosted in the microwave, folded, and then put under the grill for a few minutes. The meatballs and calamari also tasted as if they were also frozen and heated up in a microwave. Our pasta main courses were slightly better than the starters. But, if like us, you cook pasta at home, then you’re going to be as disappointed as we were. We declined desserts. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but overall not a great experience, save your money.

Friendly staff and good service. Pasta was tasty but some dishes would have been better with more sauce as a bit dry. ( Am Italian so this is important) thank you

If you have pasta in the name of your restaurant then I think it's reasonable to assume the pasta should be amazing. Given this is a chain as well you assume it will get that right but the pasta was the wrong side of al dente, both dishes, very little sauce, no discernable sausage in the sausage pasta and the portions are really primi size which is fine if it's as a primi but it's a main so, you know. Calimari looked air fried, so was pale and burned in places which is quite an achievement. Service was lovely though just need to sort out the food. Plenty of better places for pasta and tbh alot of people can do better at home.

My husband and I went on a date night after so long. We loved the food and particularly the service from Sam and Reed. Very friendly staff, great atmosphere and delicious fresh pasta. Which is my favourite. Would definitely recommend and will be going back very soon.

Staff were very nice and friendly throughout, food was nice but portions were slightly on the smaller size for the mains. Puddings were a decent size. Was also quite loud in there which did make it harder to hear others when you’re on a bigger table. Would return

Apart from a mix up with the order, which delayed our food (we did get a free drink each for that), i couldn't fault the food or service. Would strongly reccomend this restaurant, and will be visiting again in the future
