How we read reviews →Mentone's local Italian trattoria: big servings, warm welcome, occasional off nights.
A warm, family-run Italian trattoria with an Italian-speaking front of house, indoor and outdoor terrace seating near Mentone station, and a cosier, more romantic feel by evening than its daytime cafe function.
Italian-speaking staff who greet guests in Italian, surprise birthday-cake service with singing for celebrations, First Table bookable lunches, and kids' meals available.
Most reviewers describe genuine Italian hospitality and language from front-of-house staff, though one review questioned the kitchen's authenticity on a poor-experience visit.
Most reviewers call the servings generous for the price, though one review flagged it as overpriced for what is, at times, a fairly casual cafe-style offering.
