Established in Sept 2012 , an idea born from two cousins , Andrea and Simone who wanted to bring their knowledge and passion for their Nonna traditional recipes from Romagna, a region of Italy situated on the Northern Adriatic coast , to a City they loved

Not sure about this one. Highly recommended a number of friends said to me. I love Italian food, it is relatively simple and perfectly tasty. No surprises. However suprisingly easy to make a mess of. You have the passionate skill or not. Somehow to me that was the bit that was missing. Perfectly prepared. To me flair, passion missing.Hi Jeep And hi friends from Tripadvisor,We are potty you had this average experience and we would like to. hear more about it.We are passioned and also sometimes absessed as Italian for our food. We love the perfection, the preparation, the research of each sigle ingredient and its very hard. for us to hear that you didn't find all this in our dishes.However please if you have some advice or you would like to talk with us about what didn't work for you please send us an email.. For us sharing knowledge about food is always not a wasting of time.Ciao

I didn't end up going which is a shame because I was in town for the marathon and wanted a really good Italian meal. I had seen such great reviews of this place in particular. Unfortunately, they have no website (!) and the only way to make a reservation is by calling or messaging them. As I do not have an International phone plan, I tried to message them through Facebook and Whatsapp. Nothing. So at a fairly nice cost to my phone plan, I left two messages (during open hours) and they didn't call me back. They may have good food (unfortunately could never confirm that) but their customer service needs work. Get a website (preferably one with a reservation portal!)

ColâCacchio Cavendish is an elegantly Italian pizzeria. Weâre all about thin based pizzas, gourmet pastas, and freshly prepared salads.

Just popped in for a pizza after the cinema. Both the food and service were okay but not exceptional. It was a convenient location for grabbing a bite to eat and I would go back, just probably order a different pizza. As always, food on other tables looked nicer.Hi Solihullaly,Thank you for taking the time to review our restaurant. We are happy to know that you enjoyed both the food and service.We look forward to having you join us again soon.Kind regards, Team ColâCacchio

Pleasantly surprised by the quality of food in this place. We ordered a large order of pizzas ans burgers to go and the waitress was very helpful assisting us in the different options available. The Banting pizzas are very tasty, we had a 70-something-year-old declare she preferred the Banting pizza to regular. The salads were also a big hit, very fresh and generous portions. Prices very reasonable. Highly recommend

I would have given the restaurant 5 based on the service which was friendly, informative and efficient. The food we had was OK but for me nothing special. The starters were better than the mains especially the salad and the calamari which was lovely. However my fish was rather dry and the spinach was also overlooked. Would definitely give it another try because of the nice ambience.

Since 2002 I have been searching for a restaurant that could meet my standard of a hollandaise sauce. Even so called gourmet restaurants used the factory produced snot! Today my waiter, Lee, informed me that the sauce is freshly made in the kitchen. So I dared to order the dish in the hope that I would be happy......I was not happy ....... I WAS ECSTATIC!!!!!! I jumped up after my first taste and demanded to speak to the staff member that prepared the sauce. The Ladies name was Zintle. She looked like a dear trapped in headlights as i looked at her through the window into the kitchen. The smile on her face as i complimented her work was priceless. The service from Lee further complimented the meal perfectly. I will be back for more.

Reviewed By Danelle V
We went to this restaurant on a whim, the guy doing our telephone booking was very friendly and efficient. However, that's where the good service ended. Arriving there the restaurant was packed, so we thought that this was the place to be. Wrong! The food is completely overpriced (fix your price range here please, it's much more expensive). You do not get what you pay for. The staff are friendly, but service is so slow. After ordering our mains, it took so long to come, and we thought it was because the restaurant was busy. However, looking into the kitchen, some staff were standing there eating while we were waiting for how long to get our food. Mains finally came, and what had to be a lovely pasta with Italian sausage, seemed more like a watered-down bolognese - and for a ridiculous price. We were asked about dessert, but by the time we could grab someone (not our waiter!) I was just ready to go home. Where was our waiter? Drinking tea and chatting with his buddy behind the bar. I will not recommend, unless you have lots of money to spend and don't know how to cook.
2. Basilico Restaurant

Reviewed By MertAdvisor
I have been going to Basilico for a while and it is really a lovely pizza place with plenty of seating and a good lunch special (significantly reduced price for 2 topping pizzas). Their pizza is thin and crispy, with plenty of quality toppings. Unfortunately I cannot recommend their pasta as they are just okay, nothing to write home about. Service is very inconsistent, very much waiter dependent. Sometimes itâs okay, other times the waiters are abrupt.

A proper Italian trattoria, run by a warm Italian Family; whoâs hospitality and Italian flare fun through to their gracious and smiling staff. Fantastic menu - too many temptations that it took me ages to decide what to eat. As it was Italian I thought best to check out the pasta on my first visit (Iâll be back to work my way through the menu!). The carbonara was faultless- absolutely delicious and generous portions. Canât wait to go back!
