Fully recommend restaurant.Its tucked away off Fish Street, small romantic & atmospheric inside, but a real Gem!Good menu (no pizza for an Italian), prices and food was lovely (i had seafood pasta - loads seafood) and good sized portions overall. Staff were friendly.Hard to describe the decor, but meant in a good way (italian memorabilia, artifacts , nic naks etc.. that really add to the ambiance of the restaurant.Can't recommend enough and we will definately be visiting again next time in Shrewsbury.Make sure you book in advance so not disappointed.

We booked for 16 of us for our Tuesday morning tennis group. The food was delicious, we pre-ordered which made it efficient and the service was fine. One of our party was ill but we were not charged. There was a delay to our getting in as the place is so popular the staff were still laying up the tables. Thoroughly recommend for good Italian food at competitive prices.

Does not look much from the outside, but don’t be fooled! Exceptional food, authentic. Italian cuisine with attentive friendly staff. Reasonable prices. Well worth a visit.

On a 3 day holiday and booked this for our first evening, I didn't realise but it was round the corner from the hotel Prince Rupert.It was originally the vestry so you can imagine it's a small space and it's crammed with bits of Italian paraphernalia which all adds to the atmosphere, loved the Italian opera playing in the background.There's plenty of choice on the menu ( not too much) but something for everyone and daily specials to choose fromThe staff are very attentive and welcoming, on ordering our 2 glasses of house wine 1 red 1 white the waiter gave a little description of each one which I thought was lovely.... Both were delicious!Our food was good as well, quite large portions but we managed to demolish them.

I live in England for 13 years, I lived in London and I live in Birmingham.I've been to countless Italian restaurants but this restaurant transported me to Italy the place reminds me of a tavern in Italy and the service is wonderful the food comes hot really made in the oven not something heated in the microwave makes you eat slowly to enjoy it, I don't remember the last time I ate with such satisfaction.I will definitely come back and bring friends with me.And my favorite restaurant in the whole of the UK.

A little authentic Italian restaurant that produces some of the best Italian food I’ve ever tasted. Food was fresh, tasty and plentiful. Staff were so friendly and efficient and the setting was outstanding. Only a small place (20-25 covers I’d guess) but the ambience is fantastic. Make sure you book ahead as it was busy (but not overbearing). A definite must for Italian food lovers.

We found this restaurant hidden along an alleyway and decided to have lunch there. We were very lucky as they were almost closed but happily, they found us a table. I didn't hesitate to have the set lunch with a glass of red. My husband who is a little more difficult, chose from the regular menu. Neither of us were disappointed with the food but hubby said he will have the set menu next time we come, as mine looked lovely. The atmosphere was excellent, it was very busy and the music added to the ambience, not overpowering like in some restaurants. There was a private little nook in the corner which seemed to sit 6/8 people.
