Lovely new Italian restaurant in the old Star Inn pub. They've clearly spent a lot of time and money refurbishing and it's been well worth it. Inside looks great and I look forward to eating indoors when the pandemic is finished. Outside is lovely too. There's some tables under umbrellas, but we got to sit in one of the shelters which has lighting and heating, very cozy. The food was superb. Not a massive menu, but that didn't matter because there was a good mix of choices. Lots of fresh products used in the cooking. There's also a small shop inside selling Italian ingredients that are used in the kitchen there. I believe in the future they're hoping to sell Italian meats too. Beer choice was a bit restricted, selling only Peroni or Moretti both on draught. As the restaurant has only just opened I would expect this to expand. Good luck with your business, and we look forward to returning soon.

Fabulous food and atmosphere. A different variation of authentic Italian food, the glazed pig cheek was amazing! We got 3 of the cicchetti (small plates), a small beef ragu pasta, blanco pizza and fries to share between 2 of us came 60 including cannoli for dessert (excluding drinks) great value for money, will definitely be back soon.

Visited early Saturday evening 6:30, was quiet when we arrived but did fill up later on. Sat at bar firstly to order a drink and choose our food, had a lovely Hugo Spritz made in front of me. The atmosphere and decor are spot on, I was sat under a beautiful lemon tree with fairy lights where our table was. Food was excellent and so were all the staff, so attentive and polite. The menu is small but that is the point - it’s all cooked to order and we were told on arrival the items that were sold out, it wasn’t a problem. Would recommend a visit and would go back again.

Couldn't wait to try this place ever since it opened recently but especially with it being on our doorstep. However the atmosphere and feel to the place is like being in some glorious holiday destination hundreds of miles away where a great time is had by all. The lengths this place has gone to ensure the outdoor tables are suitable under this unseaonal chill are commendable and we were even moved to one of the cosy booths as one became available soon after arrival. The food menu is limited as expected for the moment but the food quite excellent. Not cheap but this is a quality place and worth every penny. Best asset on first showing is the waiting staff, for whom nothing was too much trouble; truly charming service. This place has barely got going and when the indoor restaurant opens up it is going to be so popular.

We received an amazing welcome from the hostess on Saturday 5th of August at lunchtime. This lady service and friendly service was so good. An asset to this restaurant. Food and wine served was really super. Can’t wait to our next visit.

Went with Family for a get together, food was amazing very flavoursome and well presented. Service started a little slow but can't fault it, atmosphere great the only negative is the place was a little cold. Prices are very reasonable for what you receive on the plate, it's a must if you like good food.

The food was delicious as always. Waiting on staff are friendly and polite. Lovely touch to go in the wine cave to choose your bottle of wine, great choice for all budgets and pallettes.
