My son and I came across this restaurant by pure chance. We had been visiting the University after a long drive, booked into our hotel and sought somewhere to eat. Fate moves in mysterious ways, we have both visited Italy several times and I spent a year there some years ago. The food, service and atmosphere were truly authentic and... More

We went along late one evening - and to be honest weren't sure if they would still be open. Luckily they were, although clearly were closing fairly soon. Even though we were the last couple left in the restaurant we were never rushed. The waiter was very friendly and helpful, the food and wine was good. No complaints at all.... More

I have been here 3 times now. First visit both food and service were great, couldn't complain and we were offered free Limoncello at the end which was a lovely surprise. Second time the service was pretty good but my meal of pasta ins tomato sauce from the specials was very bland. I had steak in brandy sauce at my... More

Casallingo has to be far the best Italian I have ever experienced in this country. The food and wine was simply to die for absolutely deeeeelicious. I took my partner for a speial birthday meal and Mario the manager made our evening so intimate and perfect. Nothing was too much trouble although he was never intrusive just attentive in every...

The decor looks like a 70's mish mash but is somehow charming nonetheless. I had a very good spaghetti alle vongole with a generous amount of fresh clams. My partner led her figs with goats cheese and prosciutto but I thought it lacked flavour. I ordered the calves liver which I specifically asked for underdone. It wasn't. However it was... More

We had booked a table on a Friday evening. The staff were very friendly and helpful . The food we ordered was delicious and everything came at the same time despite the large group. The staff were very attentive on the busy evening. The bill was reasonable considering the large amount of wine we drank. It was our colleagues birthday... More

Nice busy little restaurant which lives up to it's ratings. Excellent food and friendly staff. My pea soup was average but my pasta was excellent. With 2 glasses of wine the bill was 30 Quid, good value.

I booked for a party of 13. Without exception, everyone rated the food as excellent. We were a chaotic bunch but were well looked after. I had the Linguine Scampi. It was delicious. Others had the fish, chicken and steak. These were also pronounced tasty. Clean plates all round apart from a colleague who just couldn't manage the hefty portion... More

this restaurant is a gem! Everything about this place is amazing. The cosy romantic setting laced with fairy lights and personal customer reviews graffiti'd on the walls which were a lovely touch. The food was incredible. Easily one of the best meals I have ever had and my partners steak was perfection. The staff were friendly, attentive and I can't... More
