This place has an amazing feel to it, the food is top quality and the staff are very friendly. Would definitely return.

My favourite place to eat when in the area for work. Food is delivered fast however service can vary. Often I am dining solo, and have experienced long wait times for the bill or drinks not arriving. However, I will always go back for the food.

A great restaurant in Talbot Green. My first time here but heard lots of positive comments from friends and family. Reasonably priced and staff were friendly but professional. No steps at the front to negotiate so those with mobility issues shouldn't have any problems in entering the restaurant. I had the calamari for starters and salmon for main. Both were cooked very well and both were delicious. Portions were enough and although I was full I didn't feel stuffed. I will visit here again and will have no problem in recommending this restaurant to anyone else. Thank you, I'll be back.

Lovely authentic Italian restaurant with great atmosphere. Very busy, food was delicious and service was friendly & attentive. The main meals were served with bowls of chips to share, but no other vegetables, which would have been welcome. They'd split a large group of us for a Christmas party across 2 tables which wasn't ideal but we made the best of it & had a great night. Nice family friendly venue.

5 Stars – A Perfect Italian Experience Absolutely fantastic Italian food! The pasta was fresh, the flavors authentic, and the service warm and friendly. We had Tagliatelle bolognese and Linguine carbonara —both were delicious. The chocolate cake was the perfect sweet ending. A cozy spot that truly captures the spirit of Italy. Highly recommended!

We love coming here with family and friends. The atmosphere is great and the food is delicious. The staff are always very friendly and you feel like you’re experiencing a real old-school family business.

We walked in on a bus Friday night for a Pizza hoping to get a seat, we had our newborn baby with us also however nothing was too much trouble for the fantastic staff here. They found us a suitable table with space for a pram. The food was amazing as usual, I've eaten pizza all around the world and the pizza here is the most deliciuocs authentic italian pizza I have ever eaten. grazie ancora Trattoria!

Very friendly and fast service. The food was well presented as you can see in the photos. All hot and cooked to perfection. I would highly recommend.
