Compà

Amazing food and service. We went for lunch today and despite the miserable rainy weather it felt like we had stepped into sunny Italy. I had the Parmigiana, which I always find hard to find a good one, and it was delicious. Thank you, we will be back!

Went for dinner recently. Waiter and owner (I presume) were both very knowledgeable and friendly. The atmosphere was laid back and felt very traditional. Food was amazing and great value! We had the lasagne, homemade burger, pistachio canollo and chocolate mousse, would recommend all of them! Will definitely be back to try some of the other dishes soon.

Absolutely excellent food. The decor is quite basic, and it could do with some aircon, all of which would hopefully come if they do well. And they should do well because the service and menu are top notch

Lovely family run Sicilian restaurant. LGBTQ family friendly, serving tasty pasta and delicious cannoli. The very friendly staff chatted away to my 10 year old about life in Sicily and having Pan di Stella for breakfast! Overall a really enjoyable experience.

Attended their special event vegan night. Lovely food and service. Will definitely be visiting again.

This was the first time we have been to Compà, and we were bowled over by how amazing the food, atmosphere, and service was. The food was divine. Heartwarming, homecooked-style, authentic dishes. The porchetta was one of the best dishes my husband has ever had. We left completely satiated.We had our honeymoon in Sicily last year, and were on the hunt for quality Italian cuisine. We were not disappointed!We will 100% be recommending this restaurant to our friends and family.

Bit disappointed, not what I expected.Food took a long time to come out of the kitchen. Could understand if they were busy.Dishes served were very poor and expensive.Staff friendly and helpful but not sure about their current menu and standard of food.Waited half an hour for -£6.95 the special two small spring onions wrapped in Pancetta?Don't mind paying the price if the food warrants it. Also think 10% service charge is a bit off.Don't like being negative but someone's gotta say it. Not gonna post any more pics of food.Try for yourself. I maybe fussy.Good luck anyway.

We've just enjoyed the most delightful meal at Compa! The warm welcome from Angela, who greeted us with such a lovely dazzling smile, was enough to warm us right through to our core, when waking in from the winter cold. We so enjoyed hearing her talk about her family life and the adventure they have had in coming to achieve their dream of owning their own little restaurant in England.The space was warm, comfortable and bright, decorated in gorgeous Mediterranean colours and this coupled with the music playing from the owners' native Sicily was enough to leave us feeling like we were immersed in a midweek holiday!We ordered meatballs with home baked bread, slow cooked porchetta, green beans panfried in garlic and potatoes roasted in rosemary, all served up by Angela's husband. This couple can cook as well as they host. The meal was mouthwateringly delicious and I'll be dreaming about that porchetta until I have the chance to eat it again!We followed with homemade pistachio canolo and a sweet ricotta and chocolate pastry dish (the name escapes me!) both accompanied with coffee. A limoncello was the perfect end to our meal. Salute!We found the food to be authentic, rustic and tasty - everything I love about Mediterranean cooking. Thank you to Angela and her husband. We'll be back with friends in tow!Ps. Good luck on your upcoming citizenship, what fine members of our community you both have become x

What a wonderful evening my husband and I enjoyed at Compa', yesterday.Each Wednesday through September they are holding a set evening menu of traditional dishes cooked by nonna. You will be treated to the cooking skills, traditions and years of practice by one of the owners' mothers; I can assure you this is as authentic as it gets as I am Italian myself. The decor is simple because just like in Italy, it is not about your surroundings, its about the food. Each dish arrived presented in a simple way as it would be in any local taverna in (real) Italy.The menu is a filling four course affair (come hungry). The antipasti is generous with olives, bocconcini (bite size mozzarella) pizza, bread made by one of the owners' fathers (the bread is so very Italian and I heard a few people comment on it) and a few other items. We were then served rigatoni con fagioli e patate: pasta with beans and potato. Another staple meal from the southern most regions of Italy.Being vegetarian, we did not eat the chicken course and were served parmigiana as an alternative. This is a simple dish of layered aubergine and a ragu. Simple by no means equates to easy and there is a skill in perfecting it. In my opinion, if you have never eaten it before, ditch the chicken and try it. It parked me right back in my own nonna's kitchen.If you still have room, the dessert course is also an authentically Sicilian. They have steered away from the obvious Italian desserts like tiramisu' and have opted to offer you cannoli: a roll of hard pastry filled with riccotta. I have eaten this dessert here before and can say that the pistachio one is excellent. It is very sweet though and if you are more of a savory person or you don't really like desserts, half might be enough but take the rest home!The meal ended with a regional drink called zamu', served with water and over ice ( perhaps leave the car at home).I am a Malbec drinker and although they didn't serve that, the owner offered me a wine that was very similar and I very much enjoyed a glass of Nero D'Avola , it carried the same weight in the mouth as a Malbec does but did sit heavy in the stomach.The restaurant was never over crowded or noisy and the friendly, accommodating staff handled what looked like a busy evening with ease. If you make one of these evenings you will meet the lovely elderly Italian lady who is cooking for you. The meal was not rushed and nor did we wait long between courses, all four courses plus the zamu' will mean your evening will last around two and half hours. Of all the Italian restaurants I have eaten in outside of Italy, this by far ticks the traditional box for me.The restaurant is small and it does get warm. I saw a previous poster say they needed an air con unit which is now installed. They keep the kitchen door open and so at any time on your way to the bathroom you can see the magic at work. There is a great sense of family about how things are ran here which is very much how you are treated as you arrive. Compa' is a new kid on the block and they are small but I think they will very much give other Italian restaurants a run for their money.

Compa Sicily in Beeston has truly mastered the art of bringing Sicilian cuisine to life. Dinner With Nonna" is an experience I won't soon forget. From the warm ambience to the impeccable service and the outstanding dishes that celebrated the flavours of Sicily
