"This restaurant is fairly local and we have driven past it hundreds of times but never actually gone in. I’m not sure why as we usually love going to Italian restaurants but I guess it never looked very exciting from the outside. After seeing so many great reviews though, we decided to visit for lunch on a Saturday and were really looking forward to it as we have not eaten out much during the pandemic. The interior is certainly nothing special and first impressions were that it seemed a little gloomy. There was not much light, although I think a few of the blinds were closed to stop the sun blinding you. The tables are modest and have probably seen better days and the wooden chairs with very straight backs were some of the most uncomfortable chairs I have sat in for a very long time. Not sure if that is to stop you from overstaying your welcome but I did not feel relaxed at all and the tables for 2 are tiny so it felt like everything was going to fall over the edge at any moment. We were greeted and seated quickly as it was very quiet but it did get fairly busy shortly after we arrived and it was clear that there were a lot of regular diners who were familiar with the owners/chefs. Our food arrived quickly and was hot but we had mixed feelings about the taste and it is fair to say that my husband enjoyed it slightly more than I did. The prawns were good, the garlic mushrooms were very stringy and watery and the garlic bread with tomato was pretty awful as it was covered in burnt garlic that left an unpleasant after taste. The lamb was good but the Calzone was chewy and a little bland. From a service perspective, there seemed to be 2 chefs and 1 poor waitress who was running about and struggling to keep up. I’m not sure if they usually only have a single waitress but I think a second person was required to help serve and then prepare bills etc to ensure that a decent level of customer service was maintained. We did find it a little strange that when my husband was offered mint sauce to go with his lamb, a jar of Colmans was just brought and left on the table with no lid and just a bit of mint was in the bottom. We later saw this same jar left by the side of the desk near the till, still with no lid on and it all seemed a bit unhygienic and strange. When you are paying c£20 for a lamb main course, perhaps make some mint up in a small dish and bring it to the table? After our meal, we asked for the bill but as the waitress was so busy, we ended up walking to the main desk to get it and to pay. It was also a little surprising that the bills were done with a pad and pen, prices looked up on the menu and then added up using a calculator this could be described as ‘quaint’ but also very ‘inefficient’. Overall, I think this is a decent place and as the locals seem to go back on a regular basis, it must have something to offer that we did not necessarily see on this first visit. I personally am not in a hurry to go back but my husband did enjoy most of the food and would probably like to give it another go. In order to improve (in my opinion)……..the menu prices are towards the higher end but the food quality, the comfort of the tables/chairs and the general customer service do not seem to be aligned to the price paid. So, some bits I would rank as 2 stars, some as 3 and some as 4 but I settled on a 3 star average rating based upon this visit."
