    The best Italian restaurant I’ve been to!! My partner and I had some Italian friends come along for dinner and they approved and said it reminded them of back home. We loved everything about this restaurant, starting from the staff to the amazing food! Definitely will be back again, recommend to try the T-bone steak and tiramisu!!

    Non è un vero ristorante italiano, dai camerieri al cuoco al proprietario; piatti immangiabili. Questi tipi di locali rovinano i veri piatti del bel paese.
    MelanzanaResponded on January 2, 2025
    Hi Domenico thanks for your reply, firstly you arrived 30 minutes late to your booking on NEW YEARS EVE however we still kept your table although we were fully booked and had lots of walk-in customers which we couldn't seat. About your comment on staff, not all our members of staff are italian due to brexit, however i'm sure in Italy you dont only have Italian staff working in restaurants as I've seen before you have all types of ethnicities working including 60% of staff are Indian. The chef is Italian just so you know and you didn't talk to the chef to know where he is from so don't jump to conclusions. If you're not happy go to Italy and get us some italian staff up to your standard or you could just go back and stay in Italy as i think that would be the best option. thanks again
