You get so much food and you can't finish it all, lucky you can take leftovers home :) the price is great value which is good if you want to take the family out for a decent feed. Wish there were more outlets around though :(

We were there for lunch, seems like they could not be bothered with us. I felt the food we were given was leftovers from the night before. Peas in a bolognese??????

What a disappointment! Recommended by friends but failed on all accounts. Four of us at the table, all ordered different meals but not one was satisfied. Cutlery was dirty. Undercooked spagetti with watery sauce. Pizza with unrecognisable black crunchy things. Lasagna tasted sour. Fettucini stuck like glue. The portion sizes were large but what's the point? Go to Lygon Street... More

If you are looking for quantity then this is the place ! The service is fast and friendly, and the serve is .... oh la la ... more than one can consume. No wonder a lot of people ask for a container to take home the leftover ! As to quality, the pasta is just above average. Perhaps it's the... More

Pizza's are better than average. Other meals below average in quality but tremendous value. Also BYO wine so overall great value for a family or young hungry people on a budget

This is extremely cheap pasta and the quality and flavour to match. Very much like La Porchetta and flavourless hash. Uninspiring.

A very family friendly place with quick service and plenty of room to sit and make noise. Pizzas are good and meal options are a plenty. Don't expect fine dining but a place to take the kids for a Friday night treat. Also package up left overs if you want to take them home.
