The service was pleasant and attentive, the tables were well spaced. I had the mozzarella salad to start with which was a cheap watery ball of mozzarella with some dried herbs sprinkled on it on a bed of rocket and a few plum tomatoes no fresh herbs at all. The pasta was chewy and undercooked. All the dishes seemed to be based around same basic pasta sauces bland but edible. The pizza was greasy and when picked up the topping just slid off the base. The calzone was mainly crust and when we asked for other ingredients to be added they said no so they clearly were not fresh. I didn't complain but I definitely wouldn't book again
An old school Italian restaurant where they really care about food. We have been many times and always enjoy the atmosphere and authentic pasta dishes. They also offer a range of pizzas which are popular with my teenage son. Tucked away on a picturesque street slightly off the beaten track in Canterbury, this is a lovely spot for a family dinner served with charm and enthusiasm.
Having read the reviews, i thought that this would be ideal for a group of friends and I to have a meal. one review said A little piece of Italy which sadly it was not. The service was very good , but the food came no where near Italian food, which I do know very well, large quantities but totally bland, to the extent that I had to apologise to my friends for choosing Pinocchios
Stayed in Canterbury for the weekend and saw this on Trip Advisor and it seemed like a lovely place to eat. Arrived and was very impressed with the customer service and the lovely friendly lady on the door who showed us our table, and was pleased with just how cozy this restaurant is. The food was exceptional and I had the seafood linguines with clams, mussels and prawns

Gave this restaurant a try during our holiday in Canterbury and would definitely return in the future . The food was wonderful and the staff were very welcoming and friendly. They were happy to answer any questions we had regarding the menu including the specials on the blackboard. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal including the house wine and a limoncello to finish.
Nice ambience, good lighting and decor. Attentive service by friendly and efficient staff. Every dish we took was really tasty! Portions were generous and the wine was really good. I will be back to enjoy the comfortable, relaxing and pleasant stay.
We were recommended by our hotel to visit. They said don’t walk past it as it’s the best Italian in the City and it lived up to it. Lovely service and the food was first class at a price that wasn’t a rip off given that the City is full of tourists.
Friendly. Good food and wine. Closes very early for a Saturday Night. At 9:30 we were the last ones in restaurant. We didn't like staff standing at back of restaurants waiting for people to finish their meals but apart from that a cosy restaurant.
