Two friends and I visited this restaurant last evening, having never been before, the service was excellent, the atmosphere Devine and the food was wonderful, freshly cooked and extremely tasteful. I highly recommend a visit you won't be disappointed. Michelle

Visited the restaurant on Saturday evening for a friends 50th birthday. Our table of 14 people was a mixture of young and old. As our table was at 6pm we entered to an empty establishment with no atmosphere or even a warm welcome. They continually turned away people from an empty eatery. Drinks orders were taken and the young eastern... More

Me and my husband went here for date night last night. We both had a starter, main and their famous ice cream for pudding. We also had a bottle of wine - all for £55. Great people - food top notch. Overall very good. The other customers were mostly older - showing the good quality as they are fusy.

Went to Diva just because of the great reviews it has had on here and we weren't disappointed. All of the food was freshly made and delicious. The staff were very friendly and couldn't do enough for us. Will definitely return in the future.

The waiting staff are polite and helpful, and you feel relaxed. The food was exceptional. You could tell the ingredients were fresh. The... More

Came here on a Thursday night due to all the fantastic reviews. The place was small but all the candles gave it a lovely feel. The staff were friendly from the offset. I had minestrone to start and it was full of lovely vegetables but honestly felt the broth needed a little more flavour maybe just a tad more seasoning... More

We ate there last Friday night. The mushroom ravioli was wonderful, light and creamy, the best I have ever tasted. The staff were friendly and efficient and the food was served quickly. We can definitely recommend this restaurant .

We love Diva. It is run by Marcello a most likeable, friendly and welcoming Italian, who is the owner. He offers a range of freshly cooked pastas, pizzas,risottos as well as 'specials - can be seafood, veal, steak or chicken. His wine list is fairly limited but adequate. The cafe/gelateria as it is known, is on a side street just... More

What a little gem!! So refreshing to find a well run family business serving completely fresh, homemade, real Italian food. The personal touch from the owner/chef makes you feel very welcome and that nothing is too much trouble. At a table of 6, every single dish was fantastic. The best carbonara in town! We were passing the food around for... More
