This is an authentic Italian restaurant...a hidden gem on the high street and highly recommended. The delicious food is freshly prepared by an Italian chef; the server knew the menu and gave good advice, even to recommending a Pinot Grigio that was fabulous and a charming ambiance is enhanced by the wine-cellar feel of the restaurant.

I recently ordered the seafood pasta for takeaway from this fantastic Italian restaurant, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations! Despite being takeaway, the pasta arrived piping hot and packed with flavor. The seafood was fresh and cooked to perfection, delivering a taste of the sea in every bite. The portion size was generous, making it a satisfying meal on its own. The packaging was secure, ensuring that the meal traveled well without any spills or mess. If you're craving a scrumptious seafood treat to enjoy in the comfort of your own home, I highly recommend giving their seafood pasta a try. You won't be disappointed!

A lovely, authentic Italian restaurant. The ambience, decorations, and the charming character of the restaurant really gave the feeling of being in Italy. The food was remarkable and the service was excellent! Our waitress was attentive and efficient. Best food and service I have experienced for a while. Will come back again!

love this place! one of Bedford's best kept secrets. highly rated as the best Italian pasta restaurant in Bedford. Bedford is fondly known as the little Italy of the United Kingdom as stated recently by the BBC. and if you are coming to Bedford for the first time, make sure you pay this hidden gem a visit. rated on the gourmet guide also and completely well deserved. personally I have dined at this restaurant multiple times and I highly recommend the mussels for the starter and the Carbonara is just simply amazing. I normally opt in in for the large glass of house red, I've no idea what it is but it is also simply amazing.

100% recommend eating here. We ordered 4 things in total. Arancini for starters was great, very yummy sauce. For mains we had the king prawns spaghetti, Ravioli and the Mushroom creamy pasta. The mushroom one is up there with some of the best pasta I’ve ever had! 100% go.
