Just recently visited here (for the first time, certainly won't be the last ) for my 50th birthday, i came with my immediate family and partner and had an absolutely wonderful time, food was great, service impeccable and the ambience was just lovely. The head guy couldn't be more accommodating and made us feel like family! Also there was a tribute Frank Sinatra guy in that evening who also sang happy birthday to me. So of course I would Highly recommend! Thankyou so much and hopefully see you guys again soon xxx

We had a fabulous Valentine's evening. Food delicious. Steak cooked to perfection. Live entertainment was singer Yannis: fantastic. Young chap but he sang lots of 80s hits which was brilliant as we are old farts. Loved him. Such a talent. I want to listen to him perform again! Dinner was a little slow in coming but when we "moaned" a bit, staff went mad trying to make up for it. Cannot do anything but praise the staff. They know how to keep the clientele happy . Would happily eat here again, anytime.

I can't believe I've lived in Hornchurch for 5 years and not had their pizza! Had the lunch offer with 2 courses for 20 (great value) I had the Quattro Formaggio pizza and oh wow. The dough was light but crispy, there was so much cheese (what I want with a 4 cheese pizza) and it just tasted great. The antipasto italiano starter (meat and cheese) was great. The scampi starter, whilst lovely, was small with only 5 small bits of scampi Service was only 4/5 - but through no fault of the employees, but the restaurant was so busy they could have done with an extra pair of hands. I had a slice of the vegetarian pizza as well which was also yummy. I will definitely be back

I love going to this restaurant. The atmosphere is always a small slice of the Mediterranean where as outside the door it is the hustle and bustle of Hornchurch. The staff are always attentive and personable. The food never disappoints but you NEED NEED NEED to try the tiramisu.

One of the best Italian restaurants I've ever been to. Great size of portions, creamy tasty pasta. I've tried penne pasta which was delicious. The steak is so tender and flavored as well. Always nice atmosphere and friendly staff. The price is also affordable for this huge portion.

We went here on Sunday at 2 o’clock. Party of 13 of us for my mums 80th. We all ordered our food beforehand. The food was lovely and the staff were fantastic. We left a cake with them on the Saturday night and they were very accommodating by keeping it. They brought it out after we had eaten our main course and let us have that rather than desserts. . Some of us had been here several times and the food has always been lovely and staff friendly. Those who hadn’t been before enjoyed the food. We ranged from an 80 year old to 6 year old and all plates were emptied. Never been disappointed.
