Popped in to the restaurant for lunch and chose a table to sit at outside. Ordered a starter if calamari which was very good. For mains, my brother and I went for pizza and pasta which they kindly served up on our plates half and half. The pizza was delicious with added toppings of garlic and chilli. I can't rave... More

I always have an amazing meal here, lovely flavour, more than enough to satisfy me. I've been going here for the past three years and tried most things on the menu. Freshly home cooked food, beautiful and tasty. Highly recommended!

Nice homely cooking, they do well for the space which they have! By homely, I mean it has enough flavour and fills you up. I had a sea food pasta the first time, it was okay but the prawns clearly tasted like those you buy frozen in Lidl, they were watery and tasteless. I dont know why everyone says they... More

Had lunch there this week - food was good, but wouldn't be rushing back. Seating downstairs a bit cramped and they don't have a licence to serve alcohol.

We decided to have lunch here on a Saturday after hearing such great reviews of the place. There was a queue for indoor seating so we opted for outdoor seats and didn't have to wait to long for menus to be brought over to us. Firstly both highchairs were broken which was a bit frustrating as I have an adventurous... More

What a find! A tiny little place in the arcade with a big Italian heart! Good service, excellent food, freshly cooked and very tasty. Will definitely return!

I love this restaurant! Been eating here for years. A hidden gem of castle arcade, not to be over-shadowed by other (overpriced) arcade restaurants. Like dining in your mothers kitchen with excellent service good hearty portions at a great price. I recommend the 'James bowmen'

Lots of choice, really large portions for the very reasonable prices. It is a bit of a squeeze and you kind of feel like you're dining in someones kitchen but it is a good atmosphere and the staff are very attentive. Its a shame only open during the day time, and they also do takeaway which is a great idea!

The perfect place for a quick lunch or spend a couple hours over a bottle of bring you're own wine! The food is fab, there was 1 meat eater and 2 vegetarians in our group with lots of choices for both... Very friendly atmosphere with good knowledgable service! Definitely worth a visit...
