The best authentic Italian family run restaurant for miles around. Great food at great value. The garden when weather is good is fantastic. Garlic Bread with Cheese and Carbonara tonight for 19.

We loved our first time dining here so much that we had to come back. The food is absolutely delicious, especially the carbonara. We've brought family here who have also loved the experience and can't wait to come back. I'm a big fan of their menu, especially the Slatterys cheesecake they have in (this time it was the Terry's chocolate orange cheesecake, which I highly reccomend if you have a sweet tooth) Every experience has been really pleasant, the staff are all so lovely and welcoming, and I can't wait to bring more of my family and friends! 10/10

Enjoyable place to eat, proper italian food. Loved the simple decoration. The pizza was good and my pasta al salmon was to die for, the croquettes were too fatty for me expected them to be just simple, couldn't eat them as the pasta dish was big portion. Definitely worth trying

A great place to dine for lunch or evening. The food is fantastic and great service. There is a beautiful out door seating area if the weather is good enough. The staff are really friendly and it is definitely worth a visit.

Customer service is excellent, I had booked then changed then cancelled a table once and they were so understanding, then I rebooked for another early evening and took my daughter, just brilliant. Ever member of staff was doing there best to give you a great dining experience... The food.. ok, well... Amazing, really, perfectly cooked fish, fresh vegetables, succulent meats... I am going back for a pizza very very soon, so much more than a typical Italian. Would recommend to anyone.
