EXCELLENT Based on 266 reviews Posted on Jo Ferrier22 April 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I made a booking last Thursday as it was my Bday yesterday Bank Holiday Monday. I turned up with my partner to find that they had only opened the restaurant for our booking. They could have called us and cancelled but because it was my Bday they didn’t. I’m astounded they did that and very thankful as the whole meal was absolutely amazing 🤩 We will definitely be going back ! Beautiful place, Chef and waitress. Thank you Amalfi 🙏🫶Posted on Mihai Bragaru11 April 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really good authentic food.

Pasta is amazing!Posted on Luboš Vaníček25 March 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I really enjoyed this experience where the owner and chef goes truly above and beyond. The place has a really good atmosphere and overall made for a great evening. The main was really nice and full of flavour and the desert was exceptional. I ordered a pistachio tiramisu and it was the best tiramisu I ever had. It was my first time here and I am slightly disappointed that I couldn't support the place more as they only allow for cash tips and I only had my phone to pay with. I'll know to take some cash with me next time. Thank you so much for this amazing experience.Posted on Lacey jane Griffin2 March 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I had a great dining experience at this Italian restaurant tonight with my friend. From the moment we walked in, the owner was incredibly welcoming and polite. Our waitress was also very friendly and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. The food arrived quickly, and everything was fresh and full of flavour. The dishes stayed true to authentic Italian recipes, which I really appreciated. You could tell a lot of care went into the preparation. The atmosphere was lovely—upstairs was especially peaceful and spotless, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. And I have to mention the dessert: the pistachio tiramisu was unbelievably fresh and delicious. I’d go back just for that!
