I have noticed how many of the reviews about this restaurant are over 2 years old....so went to dinner here 4x in the last month or so I decided that it is asking me to let them all know how it is currently. the owners have only. here just over 2 years and have worked incredibly hard to improve service and quality. yes, they have maintained the original name, and perhaps a little of this stigma remains, but be sure that it has risen high above their average small restaurant! the menu changes a few times a year, so when dishes I mention are no longer available, I assure them that the new dishes will be quality. starter by duck salad with granatapfel, baked prosciutto wrapped figures (yumm! ca...
Last night there were 12 of us. it looked so beautiful when we sat in- we sat on large middle table decorated with beautiful flowers. the atmosphere was really great- music not too loud, beautiful lighting- some couples, some smaller...groups- a nice mood. we ordered the Sharing plates, arancini and vegetarian tacos to begin with all fresh and tasty- many vegetarian options. then we had pizzas – they were also tasty, beautiful thin crust loved the Figgy-Yum. cocktails looked great. we ordered the Oreo cheesecake for the birthday child and it came with happy birthday with her name also written in chocolate on the plate- nice touch. rida and her team have looked incredibly good at us and the r...
We had lunch at this restaurant on a whim, attracted by the light and floral atmosphere. The menu offered a variety of Italian dishes, but there were some Mediterranean starters that seemed out of place. My companion enjoyed his garlic prawns and linguine, while my arancini was nice but too dry. The sauce helped a bit. However, my spaghetti and meatballs were terrible - the taste and texture were off, suggesting they may have been boiled instead of cooked properly. I wasn't the only one who had issues as the waitress offered to replace my dish. Even with the sauce on the spaghetti, it couldn't salvage the meal. A bottle of Dolmio sauce would have been better. We shared a good bottle of pinot...
We had dined at this restaurant once before and it was fantastic. The service was great and the food was excellent. Wanting to support a local business, we decided to order delivery to our home. Unfortunately, it was a mistake. The bruschetta was undercooked and all of the dishes were cold upon arrival (despite being delivered quickly). The salt and pepper shakers seemed like they hadn't been refilled in a while and the food appeared to have just been thrown together without care. The pizza tasted fine, but the shrimp seemed small and frozen. A cold pizza is not appetizing. It seems the restaurant now has different owners and we will not be returning.

I visited with my family. The service was very slow we asked for our bill 3 times and the lady kept Dordelling around. Very quiet, it used to be such a great atmosphere and incredible food. Our prawn pasta said on the menu that...it included sundried tomato’s, when the dish came out with cherry tomatoes. When asked what happened they said they ran out of sundried tomato’s. The pasta was overcooked, everything just seemed off and frozen. We were so hungry ate the dish but it was not nice at all. We will unfortunately never go back.
29th October my husband popped in . Dishes Bread ... OK basic I could of pulled this off at home. Zucchini flowers.. horrible not crunchy and watery when you cut into them. Prawn special entree .. nothing special watery tasting prawns Gnocchi pan fried tasted...burn. My husband notes not one Italian person in kitchen or on the floor. Worst meal we have had in a long time. This restaurant was once very good . I feel it has changed ownership . My Recommendation don’t go there.
On the plus side, the Italian Stallion has a nice atmosphere, decor and a great local vibe. But.... you would not go for the food. Was imagining a lovely Italian pizza, with a crispy charred base, and fresh toppings. Still dreaming ... instead got a...doughy half-cooked base, dripping with cheese. The service was slow as, the two staff on the floor were over-run. Had to follow up a drinks order, as no one seemed too bothered with service. Disappointing wont be back.
We enjoyed our first visit to this restaurant and were pleasantly surprised by the negative reviews we had read beforehand. We started with the fish tacos, which were very tasty, and followed with the prosciutto pizza and seafood pasta, both of which were very enjoyable. The service was friendly and attentive.

One of the worst restaurants I have visited. Sent back 3 meals from our group plus Roasted potatoes, how can anyone get that wrong? Slow service and was not busy.. wonder why. Very disappointing, and will not return. Too many good places in the shire...to be served below standard food.
Food here is innoavtive and fresh, service ok but give 5 stars as tables are on top of each other. Will go back for the food hopefully at a quieter time.
