I used to come here often over 10 years ago. It was so homely and nice staff were friendly and food delish. When my mother was in hospital close by we would always grab takeaway for her. It had been over 6 years since I had visited this establishment again but I wanted to show my partner where I used to go often. The first time I took him the food was terrible and service wasnt genuine anymore but I thought it was a bad day as it wasn't busy. My partner wanted to take me again, this time we went on a Friday and booked a table. It was such a dissapointment. My partner didn't touch his pasta as it was literally floating in olive oil. I shared my meal but it was awful...it wasnt even cooked properly so we gingerley picked at the salad. They could see our plates were full but didnt offer anything just stated they are busy with a function coming up. I had to ask if it was the same owners? Back in the day the chef would come out and share a port...it used to be so friendly! Apparantly same owners but the food is now awful not made with passion anymore, the service that was once so friendly is now as drab and fake as theur fake flowers. I absolutely hate writing this review as it was such a loved place but I did send them a long email about everything that went on and how it used to be,,,with no reply at all. They have let themselves go unfortunately.

I have been here before and also found the food and service to be of below average standard and probably not worth returning to.

I think people just come for pizza? I was just dissapointed as I had fond memories there...it has completely changed...I even emailed them about my experience and they didn't bother with a response. Will never go back unfortunately!

Used to come a lot with my family, its not bad, good selection of food, the pizzas are the way to go. Foods out quick and some of the waiters are really nice. However two of my friends have had their cars broken into while parked and having dinner there. Its not a bad night out, maybe catch the bus though.

Various members of my family and I regularly eat here; we enjoy the food so much that it was the place my mother wanted to go for her 50th.

The pasta's are my favourite thing that they make (and the bread; I'm slightly addicted), but there is a lot on the menu which I haven't tried. People I've gone with have always been satisfied or greatly enjoyed things I haven't had.
Staff/chefs are great in accommodating dietary requirements, I've often asked for a change in ingredients without feeling any trouble.
My only problem with the food is that the portions are big enough that there are often several dishes which we take home.

I've never been there to find it even at half capacity, which is nice as you're able to be taken care of quickly and can actually talk with the people you're with.

The main things I think they could improve on are the appearance, they've improved lately but the outside especially can still do with some livening up; and the wait staff could be a bit more consistent and warm.

What a complete disappointment. In my experience, the food was of a terrible quality. Honestly I am better off just purchasing a frozen dinner. On my most recent visit, I had salt and pepper calamari and all you could taste was really old oil. My mum's tiramisu was also not fresh. Seemed like it has been sitting in the cake stand for quite a while.

I will not be returning again.

Approximate cost: $17

I'm a regular and I think they must have 2 chefs, the food is hit and miss, sometimes its great and other times just ok. They have a very quick delivery service however their delivery menus are basically a scrappy piece of paper.

Approximate cost: $15

This is a local landmark and stands out to anyone traveling along centre rd.
They have produced a colourful, glossy menu that was dropped in my letterbox. Excellent tasting pizza and pasta. Every flavour and combination imaginable. Dining in is a wonderful experience for families- affordable and something for everyone.

Approximate cost: $16
