This is a lovely place to eat and from what I hear, it's got even better over the last year! I had a calzone...no calzone has quite matched the one I had here! Really great service and fabulous food!

Having read the reviews down the page I would agree that this is not a Italian restaurant, Very limited menu with 6-8 items. I ordered penne arrabiata, which came out as penne with passata on top, O complained about the lack of flavour, it was replaced by the same meal with dried chilli added on top, the pasta was swimming...

Don't go!!! On arrival we actually had to ask ourselves to be seated! Not a good start. We noticed straight away that the waiters from Anoki were also the waiters for the "Italian"!

Although i saw there was lots of confusion noted in previous reviews over branding of the restaurant, on my visit I did not find this a problem. Food was all of good quality I enjoyed the chicken main I ordered and the service was good. Would visit again.

Having dined here several times previously and always enjoyed the food and atmosphere, we once again paid a visit last weekend, full of expectation of another great experience and lashings of fantastic food served from the extensive Italian menu... Once we found our way in through the new entrance serving both the Anoki Indian restaurant and La Dolce Vita, we... More
