How we read reviews →Thornbury's long-running Italian institution. homemade pasta, an espresso bar and a vinyl-lined galeria upstairs.
A cosy, wood-panelled Italian dining room with an upstairs galeria function room featuring a vinyl record player and a rooftop bar; reviewers describe it as genuinely transporting them to Italy, though a run of recent visits report the room feeling more rushed and stretched during peak sittings.
An upstairs wood-panelled galeria with a vinyl record player for private functions, a rooftop bar serving espresso martinis, and a seasonal specials board alongside the regular Italian menu.
Long praised, including by Italian family members of reviewers, as genuinely authentic homemade pasta and hospitality with a true taste of Italy, though several recent reviews question whether the current kitchen matches that heritage.
Mid-range Italian pricing; long-time regulars call it worth it for the pasta and hospitality, though a string of recent reviewers report shrinking portions and rising prices without a matching lift in consistency.
