The food is literally GOATED! Food like this should be illegal because of how good it is and makes you feel. The service is fast and efficient. We got a pepperoni which we could smell all the way from our seats when it was fresh out of the oven. The Leffe beer was pretty good too. 10000000000000/10. Would Recommend
Absolutely gorgeous! The food was amazing - only took photographs of my food and I had the king prawns to start and crusted salmon for main - both delicious! My mum had the steak which was lovely and my partner ate the carbonara which they kindly made vegetarian and put mushrooms instead! The atmosphere was great and had lovely wine. Also had desserts - lemon cheese cake and tiramisu. These were ok.. in my opinion needed more sugar, especially the tiramisu as it wasn’t sweet enough for me! Will definitely be coming back and would recommend!
First time visitor decor very subtle and romantic service with a smile Let down by the food I had veal and found it very chewy My partner had salmon and said it was average Would probably go again but would choose other options
Me and My partner were craving some pasta and we stumbled across this place. Absolutely brilliant! Cosy family run (i think) little venue and the food ws incredible!!! Recommend booking as it's a smaller building and they get quite busy !! Prices were spot on! We will be back!
Good food at good prices. It's not the most authentic Italian, though.. The menu hasn't changed in years also. But it's one of the best dining options in Prestatyn.
