"An Italian restaurant hiding not far from the Promenade near the Winter Gardens Theatre.
Decor is traditional but modern, tastefully executed.
Staff are smart, able to oblige with any requests and serve with a relaxed manor.
The food choice should suit all and freshly cooked to order which arrives to the table carefully presented tasting fantastic.
There are many eating establishments in Blackpool, but if you want quality food freshly cooked in a relaxed atmosphere, then look no further."

"First class Italian meal in a smart modern restaurant next to Winter Gardens on the Square opposite the church. Pasta dishes we had were excellent (photos we after we had added parmesan) and the garlic bread and salad was the perfect starter and strawberries for dessert were a real treat. Service was impeccable which is rare these days. Recommend the garlic bread with tomato and/or cheese. Freshly cooked it was like a mini pizza."
Mike Nalder
"We had a great time with tasty food and the most friendly service. I dined twice here during a recent convention, once with a group of friends and another night with just a couple of friends. On both occasions everyone was very happy with their order and the attentive, friendly service was much appreciated. Will certainly return next time I am in Blackpool. Clean, modern and tasty! Bravissimo!"
