This place is an absolute pleasure ! It has such a lovely family vibe that comes across with such delight that it’s an amazing experience. The family and service is thoughtful, witty, humorous and a wonderful evening out. The food was sublime. Had the special. Fresh sword fish with a cherry and tomato sauce It was super food followed by the best part. The desert trolly comes out and we shared a really lite cheesecake which was fluffy light and packed a punch. Never disappointment here so I had to tell others how amazing this place is for food and atmosphere!

The staff are mostly all Italian so you know it's at least ticked the authenticity box. Food was good, staff are friendly, dessert gets brought over on a little cart. Farnborough is the true home from home for Italian cuisine, I've always said that.

Just a nice place to go. Nice people nice food. Dishes not salty (unlike Zizzi) and nicely balanced. Sweet trolley comes around at the end with a good selection of yumminess. Best to get there before 1900 as the place was full when we left around 2000. Good buzz, good vibe, good range of people. Music fine and not obtrusive. Pizza oven great to watch.

We came here too celebrate the hubbies birthday. Tomi made us welcome straight away. He is a Italian gentleman with a great sense of humour who made the evening go with a laugh and smile. Krisika worked hard as our initial server and was extremely pleasant. The food was of excellent quality and I had the Penne Alla Caligola as a main and the tomatoe sauce had fresh rosemary in which made it taste not only devine but also gave ita wholsolme flavour not encountered in restaurant first for a while Before we arrived the staff were obliging in letting my facmily Decorate the tables before hand with birthday balloons etc All in all a really nice place to eat.

I wanted some authetic italian food and was lucky to find this so close to our new home. For starters I had the calamari which they were not stingy in serving. I did find it slightly chewwy. I ordered the spaghetti fruit of the sea. It was supposed to come in a tomato sauce but I requested a cream sauce and they did not disappoint. The portion was quite big. I was given a good serving of clams, mussels, squid and shrimp. The taste was phenomenal. I had ordered an apple juice but found there were lipstick marks on the glass which didn't belong to me. The waiter was very polite and accommodating. It did take a while to put in our food order but there was only 1 waiter for what looked like a busy Monday evening.

Absolutely delightful meal in a beautiful venue. Had the crab claws, tricolor and tuna. Cooked to perfection. Wonderful hospitality. Will most certainly return soon for more home made 'boozy' tiramisu.

If you want traditional Italian then this is the place. The owners will look after you like you were an old friend. The food is unbelievable! If you haven't tried here you need to.
