We have eaten here a few times and the food and atmosphere are excellent. We recently hosted a meal there the night before our wedding and had 60 of our family and friends there at the same time. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and our guests all raved about the evening - speed of service, quality of food... More

We visited this restaurant in February whilst staying nearby to Aviemore. We had read good reviews on tripadvisor prior to visiting and were not disapointed - the food was lovely, great varied choice and very good value for money. From memory we paid about £12.00 per person for all you could eat which included pasta, pizza, garlic bread, salad bar... More

I'm no great fan of Italian food. I find many of the sauces in Tyneside Italian restaurants taste like they were made in bulk a month before and re-heated on a daily basis. THIS ONE IS DIFFERENT! I had two different pasta, Penne al Salmone and then Rigatoni con salciccia. Both were superb, the penne so good that as well... More

It was very busy but the staff were extremely friendly and the food was good. We had the Italian Buffet with all you could eat for about £12, You cant really go wrong at that. The choice of pasta, pizzas etc was good and we had a great time . Would definitely go back

We had the £12.95 buffet - eat all you want - salads, pastas and pizza. Stuffed ourselves silly with lively Italian style, thin based pizzas and pastas. Salads nice too. And then desserts. VG value and nice atmosphere. Will return here whenever in Aviemore.

My husband and I ate here on a monday night without reservations during a 2 night stay in the area. Lovely intimate atmosphere and friendly staff. The server informed us we could order from the menu or choose the buffet, which included pizza, pasta, salad and desserts for £12.95. We chose this option and food was hot and plentiful. Good...

Went here on Friday night, had a table of 16 ladies on a hen night. When I phoned to book, the gentleman on the phone was very helpful, explaining how the restaurant works ( choice of a la carte menu or buffet) telling me a bit about both. Booked a table with no hassles (didn't know if I would get... More
