Best KPortal Reviews
We have eaten here many times and the food has always been excellent. The gentleman who owns and runs the restaurant is a character and we get on very well with him. He's always attentive and friendly and service is good and not rushed. Will continue to visit every time we are on the island.
The best meal we've had this holiday. The crab pasta was way better than that at Rick Stein's in Winchester! Great views across Ventnor with a small but carefully crafted menu to cater to most tastes. (Pasta to pizza to grill), and a great wine list. The food is obviously cooked with love!
What a lovely little gem in the heart of Ventnor. We went there on two consecutive evenings during our 5 day trip in the island. Beautiful live piano with amazing food. The service is very slow since there's only one guy serving, the owner himself. But he's so lovely you won't mind. Highly recommend! :)
Honestly this is such a hidden gem!
We booked earlier in the day and on arrival we're given a great table indoors with a fab view of the sun setting over the ocean.
The food was gorgeous and they cater for both vegetarians and gluten intolerances. The wine on offer was divine.
Once we had finished eating we asked to move to a table on their terrace which has an uninterrupted view over ocean.
The service was truly wonderful, can't recommend this place enough.
Doesn't look like anything fancy from the outside but cosy place with great views of the beach. The manager was helpful and attentive. Never had mushroom bruschetta before but it was surprisingly tasty! The steak was a little more done than I prefer but well seasoned and the chips were spectacular. Apparently the fish was beautifully flaky & delicious.
We had a set meal on NYE and were happy with our choices.
The bonus was the friendly piano player who played gorgeously and took our requests too.
We had a very pleasant evening and wish we could have stayed longer and tried the a la carte menu.
Fantastic Pizza and great food. Sitting outside in the summer evening with the best view of Ventnor bay. Was a wonderful place to watch the Around the Island Race on 1st of July, a real front row seat. Abdul the owner of the restaurant always makes us feel very welcome and looks after us extremely well. Also very good value for money.
We came out for an early meal and were the only ones in the restaurant, which is why I have only scored 4 stars for atmosphere, but that didn't detract from a wonderful evening. The host/owner was extremely pleasant, and made us feel very welcome, without being intrusive.
We both had 3 courses and thoroughly enjoyed each one. The fish dishes were perfectly cooked and desserts were just sweet and tarte enough.
The meal was reasonably priced and I would have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant.
Hate leaving negative reviews but was honestly so disappointed by this experience :(
We booked a table here as had read it was one of the best Italians on the Island. We were greeted in a very rushed manner by the waitor who took us to an undressed table, and then took another 10 minutes to even give us any menus. When we received the menu it was EXTREMELY limited and for mains had only 3 pasta dishes and 3 pizza dishes.
The waiter didn't take a drinks order for us, and when he finally came to our table (about 20 minutes after we were seated), he was in a rush again (when there were only 3 other small tables seated in the whole restaurant). I had popped to the toilet and my husband asked for a couple more minutes to order as I was in the toilet. The waiter then literally shouted at him across the restaurant "are you ready yet or am I going to have to wait for hours?! You were late and I have other customers to serve!!", my husband was so stunned he didn't say anything and all the other customers were just staring- it really ruined our evening!
Horrible service but food was ok. :(
