“ Had a great lunch here on my weekend away with my partner. It was the soft launch so we didn't pay full price which drew us in, but we'd certainly go again. It's a new independent business worth supporting. The food was yummy and the service care genuine. ”
“ Served by two lovely ladies, the food was absolutely gorgeous. Very homely restaurant and introduced us to the pasta cooking class which we are intrigued about! looking forward to coming back again :) ”
“ I had a pasta-making class at the restaurant, and it was amazing! The chef was great, and the workshop was so enjoyable. The idea of combining the experience with the meal is fantastic. It wasn’t just about having a class; it was about living the experience and enjoying the food together. The food was also good and delicious. The staff were both friendly and very polite. The service was also very fast. Overall, a wonderful experience. ”
“ We went for pasta making and three course dinner as a couple and it was brilliant! The chef was knowledgeable and great fun. We were given a welcome glass of Prosecco on arrival and asked to choose our dinner off a pre set list (three options for each which was plenty) and shown where we would be making the pasta. Drinks were able to be ordered at the bar throughout. Overall we made three different pastas that we could take home to cook. The staff transformed the class space into the dining area and our pre ordered dinner came out perfectly. The pasta was incredible and we would highly recommend the salted caramel cheesecake. Such a lovely venue and location overlooking the canal. I have been recommending onto family and friends for both the class and dinner!!! ”
“ Attended a pasta making class in March and had the best experience. Excellent teacher and fantastic 3 course meal to finish. Highly recommend! The whole experience is very well put together! ”
“ My boyfriend and I did the pasta making class here and we had a great time, we had a drink on arrival and then our set menu choices were taken, the class was about 1h30 long, booking said to be there for 6:30pm promptly but the class doesn’t start until 7pm (I assume that’s to give them time to get everyone’s menu choices etc) the teacher was lovely too and we made 3 types of pasta which you get to take home Then the same area of the restaurant was flipped and we all ate our dinner there, food was incredible, genuinely the nicest pasta I’ve had in the UK in a long time! Really recommend this for a date night/ girls night we had a great time and will definitely go again. If you are driving, we parked at the multi story that’s down the street and it was 2.50 after 6pm for the whole evening ”
“ The pasta making is so worth it the chef is fantastic so friendly and funny all other stuff so lovely they do a fantastic Hugo spritz and a stunning 3 course set menu! We made the hour journey and stayed the night in Newbury for this and we're not disappointed! ”
“ Had a lovely meal here with the family. Very reasonable kids menu and some very exciting and different gourmet choices for raviolis. Lovely food and a clean airy feel. You can also order the pasta to take home which is cool. ”
