Friends took us here on Saturday night for the first time, they had been several times before. First time for us. We were a bit early, about 6.15pm. Not a problem, got taken upstairs to our table. Quite well laid out, very spacious. The waitress we got was fantastic, I can’t recall her name, young blonde lady with glasses, she just couldn’t of been any better, she is a credit to that restaurant. Such a polite, professional, funny, charismatic young lady. Really good menu, I had squid for starters, I was expecting a few rings as usual in most places, but you got a set of tentacles which I prefer over rings, and good thick rings with a lemon mayo. Absolutely delicious. I chose the ‘cor blimey’...
Really poor experience here. We arrived early for our booking and were seated upstairs. We were given the menus and it was 15 mins before anyone took our drinks. We said we were ready to our food at the same time and the girl said she’d let her colleague know. The same girl came back 10 mins later to take our food order which we found a little odd. Again, sat and waited for our drinks for a further 15 mins. I wouldn’t say they were rushed off their feet and we noticed other people were waiting a while for their drinks and food. Our starter arrived 45 minutes later which was delicious (Nduja sharer starter). Our mains then didn’t arrive for a further 50 minutes. The serving staff seemed very...
I have visited here twice now with friends. Each time, we were welcomed by attentive and friendly staff. The menu has so much choice, it was difficult to decide what to go for. I have tried the three little pigs and the pesto and goats cheese pizza. Both were absolutely delicious. You can tell they use fresh ingredients. It's almost like being back in Italy. The restaurant itself is warm and cosy. A lovely little gem in Darlington. Highly recommended!
After a long 6 1/2 hours drive from the South Coast to visit family. We thought we would give this place a go. So glad we did. My Pizza Margherita was just heaven on a plate. The tasty side salad with a Honey and Mustard dressing was of a generous size and included some tasty giant caper berries. The home made Slaw was delicious too. The restaurant was busy and I could understand why. Great value Great Food. We would recommend and would visit again.

Wanted to have a family meal for for visiting off springs and chose this as a place where we all wanted to go. As there were 11 of us it was difficult to get in many places but here it was okay, although having to pay a deposit was a bit harsh particularly as the restaurant wasn’t busy while we were there. That aside everything was good and top notch from the friendly and accommodating service to the food which was received by all as very good.
Took the family in on a Thursday evening for a meal, booked 6pm, had 2 messages asking if we were definitely coming at 6pm which we confirmed and then we arrived at 6pm and our order was taken within 15 mins of arrival. The food arrived over 1 hour later which l believe is too long. Cannot fault the food or the pleasantness of the staff and the rating reflects the long time we had to wait for the food…..and as it turns out the bill!
Fantastically priced pizzeria and enoteca ! First visit to Darlington and found the best pizzeria in the entire UK! Also incredibly friendly and welcoming and very helpful with dietary requirements ! They even sold and served our favourite Italian white wine Vernaccia di San Gimignano!! Wonderful Sicilian orange cake and homemade gelato too! Will definitely be returning on our next trip to Darlington!!
What a fabulous restaurant serving really great pizzas. Great service despite being a party of 12, nobody was left for long without a pizza. What a range of pizzas they have including Marmite pizza. I’ve eaten pizza in Naples and these are some of the best pizzas I’ve tasted. Thank you for a lovely night!

We, wife, son and I, had the Sharing Platter and a pizza each. All of it was delicious. Freshly cooked with great ingredients. Probably the best pizza I have ever eaten. Good sized pizza, so make sure you are hungry when you arrive Very friendly and attentive staff, thank you. Be back soon.
The last time my wife and I ate at the stable hearth they were in Gainford. We decided to do lunch , can I just say our reception and food was top drawer. Tasty Italian cuisine satisfied our yearning for Italy thank you.
