“ Really nice food, always enjoy it. Not had the pleasure of eating in the restaurant yet as we order from the lunch menu for local delivery but can certainly recommend spaghetti pescatore, its with a good amount of seafood and spice, its beautiful. Their calzone's are also very delicious. Always a weekly treat ... ”
“ Went with my 2 daughters as 1 fancied pasta on our weekly daddy daughters time. First impressions as we walked in was its very clean then we spoke to the chap at the bar area and was shown to our table (we hadn't reserved 1) so far staff was friendly. Cutlery on the table was spotless table was clean with a menu on each of the place settings. Our waiter came across took our drinks orders then our food orders. The food and drinks arrived in a very timely. manner. We had ordered 2 spaghetti carbanara and 1 pizza trust me people when I say the food was absolutely delicious the chef should give himself a big pat on the back. Our server/waiter was excellent very friendly. We really enjoyed our visit and will definitely go back again (sorry I couldn't leave a tip I was down to my last pennies but next visit I will leave a tip). If I could give this place more than 5 stars I would. ”
“ Pizzas are authentic and very tasty (compatable with any Italian in the Preston area). Saw a recent review saying the Lasagna wasn't up to scratch, but we thought it was one of the best we'd had in Preston. I was welcomed into the restaurant with a smile and walked away with my order with the same. Would recommend ”
“ I love this restaurant. If you want delicious, authentic Italian food in a family-friendly setting and excellent service from the wonderful staff... then eat here and you'll enjoy it, just as I do, traveling from Barrow-in-Furness. ”
“ Food was great and the staff are really nice, good prices. Would recommend. ”
“ Best pizzas in Preston! Generous toppings, cooked to perfection. Great that I can choose any toppings and it stays hot till I get home. When we sit in the service is always great, we never book and they are always super busy. ”
“ Went in expecting basic pizza parlour. Met by staff warmly and shown to table. The menu was more than I expected and the food presented was of an exceptionally high standard. It was beautifully presented with exceptional flavour. The portion size was just right to enjoy 3 courses. Will definitely visit again. ”
