Ordered from here on just eat tonight , took just over an hour , when arrived half the order was missing, an the pasta was stone cold , I know the drivers probably have other deliveries but I live 7 mins away , got in touch with just eat who credited the stuff we didn't have , fair enough. But thought as I'm so close I'd take mine an my daughter in laws back to the restaurant, not only was it cold when arrived but it was unedable an had such a bad smell to it even my cat left the room , Well on arrival I asked for the manager an this gentleman in a leather jacket came over , I explained to him

Fantastic experience! Went in for food last minute with our baby and the entire experience was great. Extremely baby friendly, really accommodating to our babies needs (great high chairs and provides food suitable for him too) and beautiful food! Big portions and so tasty. Defiantly the best Italian i have been too!
