I tried few times, give a time maybe they change something. But its still the same way. Let get it right. Its wondeful place to be, warm, very welcome, you just want sit there. But food its different talk. Starter was ok, mains was awful, and remember, its not my first time, tried everything, pizza, risotto, spaghetti, pork tenderloin, is just nothing right, cant get it how they cannot improve, its either blend,or its not going together.Thats my few tips. So take your shot and find yourself.

Wow! First time at Fino and definitely won't be the last. Outstanding service, facilities and extremely delicious food. The Lasagne Al Forno I had, was the best I have ever had and not greasy at all. Look forward to trying a different dish next time too. Just wish I had taken photos to share. Highly recommended.

We met with friends in December and had a lovely meal, superb service and excellent food, we just couldn't resist the full monty, starter, main AND deserts, way too much food, but totally delicious. A couple of beers, some great wine.
Fabulous proprietor who chatted with us at the table
A brilliant evening, thankyou very much

We couldn't find fault with anything. The food was great, the staff were attentive but not overbearing. They were very polite. We ate meals that we wouldn't normally have and were very pleased. All piping hot and freshly cooked. It was slightly more expensive than we normally pay, but well worth the extra. (you get what you pay for). Would definitely recommend. We can't wait to visit again.
