I’ve always walked past this pace and have been meaning to try it. They have the basics in décor, play 80’s music, which is a plus for me, and the cleanliness is what you’d expect in a typical run of the mill café style restaurant. Service was reasonable, we were quickly seated and were treated well, staff ensuring our needs were met and we had plenty to drink, which is good for a hot day. My friend had the pannaloni and whilst it didn’t look appetising to me, she swears it was the best she has ever eaten. I had a chicken and asparagus meal with a cream cheese sauce. The chicken was great, vegetables — other than the broccoli which was a tad overlooked were nice, crisp and fresh. The sauce lacked that extra oomph! But it was a good feed. Overall it’s not a place I would go out of my way to visit however if you are in the ingle farm area, or shopping complex it is a nice casual place to go and get a decent feed at a decent price.

Fairly standard Neo-Italiano restaurant(loud, lots of shiny things, several TV’s showing sport, free-to-air TV or music clips on mute so that it doesn’t even match the in-house music) along the lines of Buongiorno’s and Primo’s. Service is OK; and they must be OK to work for because we have been back there over a number of years and we recognise some of the waiting staff from earlier visits. Especially a lovely young lady with a multi-scrunchie ponytail. There was also another young lady waiting on us last visit who bizarrely didn’t utter a single word to us the whole visit. It was actually quite funny; she did talk to the other staff and so my wife and I had a competition to see if we could get her to speak. We both lost. Pricing is ‘upper casual’, though they do get an extra vote because they a) are in the Entertainment Book and b) gave me the discount and let me keep it. Unfortunately they also lose a vote because of the consistently horrible coffee. I’m not sure who their supplier of beans is(though I did see Lavazza stamped on one of those vertical PVC pipe grinds bins), but whoever it is should go in guerrilla style and ask them to make a Latte. The first time I tried one I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt; just a bad day, maybe. The second time we went, it was equally as bad — not only was it scalding hot, but it tastes like the beans themselves are burnt. Third time I thought«OK, make or break time» and if nothing else I must applaud them for consistency. I’d rather drink instant, and that’s saying something. This is seriously up there with the worst coffee I have ever tasted. Three times. Conclusion: If you’re in the area and looking for a hearty breakfast or an Italian-esque meal, you won’t be disappointed. Especially if you have an Entertainment Book voucher. But for God’s sake don’t order a coffee.
