Very nice restaurant with fantastic service and food to match! Nothing was too much even for a large group like ours. Lasagne was cooked perfectly, creamy and very well filled. Nutella pizza.... Amazing!

Such a lovely find, we were visiting family near Bideford when we came across this wonderful little restaurant on Google. We messaged online and were accommodated that evening, the pre-ordering system all makes sense when you arrive and one brilliant man is running the entire operation. The food was absolutely fantastic, so fresh and authentic. The gentleman running the restaurant was also truly lovely. We would definitely return next time we visit Bideford! Thank you so much for a lovely evening!

We went here for our last night in Bideford and it ended our holiday on an absolute high! Ally accommodated us and our children and put together a wonderful selection of authentic Italian food including a sharing board for our starter and pizza, meatballs and cannelloni for mains. He is the most lovely man and we will definitely be returning next time we’re in town!

Really lovely little gem of a restaurant. The owner is really nice and you can see the passion he has for his food. Prices are reasonable. This is the kind of place you want to return to. I hope to return one day on our next holiday to Devon.

What a wonderful restaurant for an authentic pizza. The staff were most accommodating, friendly and always there should you need them. A busy restaurant, although it is a Saturday, but you can see how popular the Italian Kitchen is. Fresh ingredients to a quality meal, completing a lovely experience. Well done everyone and, thank you.
