How we read reviews →Torquay's beachfront Italian institution. wood-fired pizza, house pasta and Luigi at the door.
Warm, bustling trattoria on the Torquay Esplanade with ocean views, fireplace seating and genuinely Italian front-of-house hospitality; gets loud and cramped on peak Friday and Saturday nights.
Wood-fired pizza oven, a takeaway counter alongside the dine-in restaurant, and owner Luigi personally greeting and looking after guests table-side.
Praised by an Italian-heritage reviewer's family and others as tasting genuinely of Italy, with Italian-speaking waitstaff adding to the authenticity.
Mid-range pricing that most reviewers call fair for generous portions, though a minority found pizza and shared-plate pricing steep for what arrived.
