“What a lovely restaurant and welcoming friendly staff. Booked for my Grandsons 13th birthday celebration for 8 people and everyone enjoyed their meals. The staff were attentive and really looked after us and even made a special complimentary cocktail for the birthday boy. We will definitely be back and looking forward to trying out their tapas bar nearby thank you for a lovely evening.”
Gary
“Really enjoyed a date here. Pizzas were awesome. Staff were friendly and helpful. Lots of other people enjoying their meals. There was even a live singer (we visited Friday). Tiramisu was excellent. Prices seemed slightly above average, but made worthwhile by the really exquisite food.”

The service is great and very professional with great Italian music to make you feel like you are in Italy. Highly recommend this restaurant/bar. Keep up the amazing work will be back soon.”

“Have visited the restaurant several times since it opened and every dish has been delicious. Especially enjoyed the live entertainment nights. The bottomless brunch is extremely good value for money plenty of food, best brunch and pizza I’ve had in Portsmouth. The new decor is also very classy and in keeping with the area.”

“Friendly staff, nice welcome on arrival, lovely glass of merlot. The food? The food was just amazing! The lasagne I had was freshly made & I have never tasted lasagne like it. Wifey had spaghetti carbonara &, unusually for her, completely cleared her plate. In a word, the food was WONDERFUL!!”
