Spent the entire evening here with our friends. Food was amazing and even my other half was full up! The staff were so friendly and nothing too much trouble and they had a terrific sense of humour. So good that we spoke to the owner about having our wedding reception there next year

Very well done Italian on the Leas. Good range of choice on the set menu which was very good value. Well cooked, nicely served, good decor and atmosphere. When we were there we ate with many locals who were obviously known to the staff and who eat there as regulars.

We have been visiting this restaurant for a number of years and the food and service is second to none. On many occasions we have been with a group of some 40 to 60 people and this has posed no problem with service or quality of food and the deserts are to die for. The staff from the owners down...

I went to this restaurant not knowing what to expect. My god I'm glad I did. From the moment we entered to the second we were leaving, the service was perfect. The food... Well, what can I say. Everything fresh and cooked to perfection. If you're looking for an Italian restaurant in Folkestone, then come here. You won't be disappointed.... More

My wife and I ate her on the evening of Wednesday 17 April 2013 when staying overnight in Folkestone. The restaurant is in a side street off the Leas and so handy for the hotels in the Leas. We took advantage of the fixed price menu on offer monday to friday which offers a choice of 5 starters, Main Courses... More

I last ate here many decades ago. Re-visiting the area I chose to eat here as a result of Trip Advisor reviews. The restaurant seems to cater mainly for the older generation and I felt quite young. My fettucine starter was very good, the pasta being perfectly cooked. I had skate, my wife halibut. Both fish were slightly overdone and... More

We attended this restaurant on the evening of Saturday, 30th March, 2013. I had booked the table and was disappointed that when we arrived ON TIME, that our table had not been cleared from the previous customer, nor had it been laid in readiness. We were kept waiting whilst this was done and were made to stand around in the... More
