We left La Palma with huge smiles on our faces, a great evening of food and drink in a friendly and unpretentious setting, I'd highly recommend this little gem to my friends and family.

La Palma offers an incredibly authentic Italian experience, yet understand the needs of the UO market. Traditional Italian cuisine is served alongside typical "Italian" Bolognese and the like. I had the Penne Del Sud, a spicy garlicky pasta with broccoli and Italian pork sausage, for those without a fussy pallette I would highly recommend. The staff were all wonderfully polite and attentive, even as the place became busier.

My Daughter along with four of her friends had a booking this evening.. service was very poor and borderline rude ! As a family we will not be coming back! Im feeling very let down as we said it was a good local place for them go ! Sadly it wasnt a happy experience! Food was very average and strange not to be unable to have starters while waiting for a friend who was delayed ?? Very poor !!

The food was good . Pizza was overloaded with chunks of chicken pieces which was the only issue other than that everything is alright. Should try out this place its decent enough.

It was just awful. Been there many times before over the years and enjoyed it. The standard of the food was terrible. Too expensive for bad food. We wanted another bottle of wine and was told we only had table from 18.30 to 20.30. Nobody told us that when we booked. We went outside to drink wine and a good number of tables remained empty. Another group came out complaing. We order the wine with time to spare inside but not delivered. So froze instead. Never again.

Delicious authentic Italian food. Really friendly staff and I can tell they cared Alot about the quality and standard that came out the kitchen. Nice intimate ambience in the evenings and I hear that they can hold live music there too which I hope will return. I had the Penne del sud and it was rich, delicious and fresh. The sicilian sausage was really tasty and portion sizes were good. I will be coming back!
Grazie!
