First time at this place and im impressed. Plenty of menu choices for all diets. Family run. All fresh ingredients, dishes homemade and options to customise. Service was quick, friendly, and atmosphere relaxed but it was full at 730pm. Good value and I would visit again.

First visit today. Went for lunch: Garlic Bread with cheese as starter. Chicken Rissotto and Tagliatelle with mince beef and tomato sauce then Limoncello to finish our meal. Best Italian we have had. Will certainly be revisiting this Restaurant.

absolutely outstanding. You can forget about all chain Italian restaurants after you eat here - rich original tastes, each dish made with original recipe and top ingredients, plus these amazing home made deserts

Amazing authentic Italian food with friendly, attentive staff. All the food here is amazing but recommend the pizza and garlic bread, can't be beat

The best Italian in Taunton. Simple food, superb service. The only downside - you can never get a table! 😂

Found this place by complete chance. It’s a great little Italian. The outdoor seating area with olive tree, Italian lady serving, it’s a taste of being there. A good honest pizza/pasta restaurant and you can tell it’s not part of a chain. Enjoyed great pasta dish and coffee. Was sorry I hadn’t the space to try dessert.

It is cosy, clean, lovely solid tables and chairs, doesn't play loud music. The service is outstanding, swift and attentive. The food is delicious, gorgeous pizzas and pasta, we will be back!

Really lovely place- great food, very friendly service, hidden away in a sunny courtyard. Highly recommend!

I came here 4 years ago and it was just another "not-quite-average" Italian. So I never came back again. However, after seeing its recent dominance in TripAdvisor reviews I decided I had to try again as something surely had changed.Spoiler - I found out there was indeed a small shake up a few years ago. Primarily with a new head chef and a lady, who I presume to be Manager. I have a suspicion she is probably behind the reform and consequent success...Anyway, onto the important stuff, the food. We had seafood Tagliatelle and Gnocchi bolognese. Both were great, but the Seafood Tag took the headline us. The flavour was PERFECT. It is extremely hard to get a seafood flavour so strong and rich without being "fishy" or salty. But this new guy nailed it.We also had a starter of Garlic Bread which was on a freshly baked pizza base. The desserts were really good... I loved the fact that they weren't too sweet. Shows me whoever made them, knew what they were doing.All the staff were Italian, which I liked, they all spoke Italian between themselves, which coupled up with the decor truly made it feel like it was a little escape to Italy. The new Lady (manager?) was really passionate about the food, telling us all the ingredients without us even asking - stating how fresh things were and when it was made.If I was being picky, I'd say that they should make fresh Pasta - instead of using dried. Nobody else does that in Taunton so I don't blame them... but I make it at home and know how it can take dishes to a whole new level without much effort.Anyway... 5 stars, because the flavours rocked.
