The best pizza I've ever eaten outside of Italy. Light thin base and lovely fresh topping, followed by a wonderful pannacotta. Polite and attentive staff with bonus points to the waitress for asking whether we wanted our coffees after the dessert. I highly recommend this restaurant. It's understandably popular, so you would have to make a reservation.

we visited this restaurant twice whilst in falmouth, on the first occasion we were in the main happy with the food although there was a delay on one of the tapas dishes turning up to the point where we were about to pay when it arrived, we had assumed it had been forgotten but anyway not a problem..so we went back again a few nights later and didnt have such a good experience in that the tapas my wife ordered all arrived in a timely fashion which she obviously needed to eat whilst still hot, however i didnt receive the tapas i had ordered till 20 minutes after she had eaten hers , i did enquire as to where my dishes were and the reply was that "this is how tapas works and the chef cooks it when he can"...so in effect we had a disjointed meal eating at different times which we didnt feel was acceptable ..it was a shame as having visited a second time we had hoped for better service..It is with great shame that I read your review as we try our utmost to make sure all of our customers have a great experience with us.From reading your review, it seems that the main reason for you not enjoying your visit was that the food (Tapas dishes) came out one by one and you were not sharing the dishes with your wife. Thus the dishes she choose came out first and the ones you wanted came out later. Tapas should be served dish at a time (as stated on our menu), sometimes two and for sharing. We don't send out dishes all together as this is not how Traditional Tapas works or a kitchen could cope. If you had informed us that you were not sharing we could have tried to send a little of each out so you could have both dined at the same time (this does not always work when very busy though - we try). I thank you for dining with us and hope you will give us another go.Best regardsMike.
3. The Saracen's Plate

We were an enormous group for a Christmas get together. The food was fabulous and there was plenty of it! Patatas bravas, babaganoush and beetroot with salsa verde particularly good and the wines very drinkable. The staff were especially friendly and helpful. The whole evening was an absolute pleasure and extremely good value to boot.

Lemon twist matches perfectly with the atmosphere and attitude of Falmouth. The staff were laid back but attentive and professional. The prices matched what we received. Bacon sandwich, juicy bacon, inch thick cut sourdough bread crispy, fluffy and light. My wife had smoked salmon, scrambled egg on sourdough toast (obviously I had some) the chef knows his/her way around an egg creamy, cooked perfectly and just the right amount of seasoning. All in it was a lovely experience and next time we are in Falmouth we will be visiting again. Thanks lemon twist for having us!!Thank you very much for the review! Look forward to serving you again soon!
