Went for family lunch which was superb.tasty food well presented and lovely people serving. The restaurant wasn't busy so the atmosphere was a little flat however we were made welcome and everyone catered for, asked for a child's pizza without the Oregano also our vegetarian was well looked after. Hope to go again soon.

Valentines day 2023. The moment we opened the door to this very small family run restaurant we received a warm welcome. Friendly, happy, chatty and attentive staff. Table was set up beautifully with so much attention to detail. Menus rolled up into scrolls with red ribbon. Fab touch! They serve an imported Italian beer that was sooo nice. The food all looked amazing. fresh, hot, well presented and tasted as good Attention to detail on point. Thank you for a wonderful, romantic evening. Already got our next meal out at Restaurant al Mare booked.

Mixed starters including some excellent calamari that's amount the best I have ever had. For the main course, a superb swordfish steak, perfectly cooked. Washed down by a great Sicilian red wine recommended by the waiter. Served by friendly and attentive staff. A great place to eat.

Quaint little Italian restaurant, authentic Italian food cooked by an Italian chef. Quite a limited but constantly evolving menu and some excellent pizzas. Good selection of wines at very reasonable prices. Highly recommended this place if you like authentic Italian food.

Wow amazing! Many thanks to Roberto & the team. We had a fantastic array of pizzas & garlic bread some cheesy, for our East Peston youth football Club presentation. The pizzas & garlic bread were all made by hand & absolutely amazing! The kids & parents loved them & asked where they were from. Think many will now visit the restaurant to sample your other delights. Many thanks from all

It's amazing to have such a nice bistro style restaurant in our village. The food is authentically Mediterranean as is the atmosphere. Great summer menu too..
