A 6pm walk in, first time here as we were on our way home. Already quite busy with a nice little atmosphere, a glass of house red whilst waiting for our meal and it didn't disappoint. The sea bass and the way it was presented was to die for, absolutely delicious!. No time for coffee or dessert as we had to be on our way but will definitely return. A really lovely place with super friendly staff.
We were a tabke of 9 for a birthday. The staff were awesome. Very welcoming, very jovial and took care of us well. The food was phenomonal. I always have my steak blue but its rare that its ever served that way when i eat out. At Il Vecchio it was perfect. The chef really knows what he is doing. Additionally, for the great service and the amazing food, the price was very reasonable. 10/10. Would recommend everyone eats here
Very good food for a fair price. Even when they are fully booked they will try to get you a table. Also the early bird menu through the week is the best deal you can take.
The food and service and never anything but excellent. I recommend this place to everyone I know and I would recommend it to you too review reader. Head on down!
What can I say. Amazing and more. We have celebrated many a night here. My children have grown up with this restaurant always being their choice for family get togetherness. I love it here. Great care and attention to detail whether it be a sit down family meal of 6 or an impromptu stop off for a take out. The staff are amazing each and every one of them play a special part in our nights out. I refuse to go anywhere else for my fix of Italian food. FYI the Tiramisu is to DIE for !!!!
Love this restaurant. We always gather here as a group of over 12 family members young and old. The food is fabulous, the service is brilliant. They never fail to make us feel welcomed and special.
First time I’ve been to an Italian in the UK that tastes exactly like the food in Italy. Very friendly staff and a pleasant experience overall. Will be recommending to others. Wish we’d have come sooner
Great place for a Birthday dinner! We visited at the weekend for a Birthday dinner. The restaurant was mostly people visiting for Birthday celebrations and it was very busy, so please make sure you book in advance to avoid disappointment! All of the starters we had were delicious and the pasta I had was amazing! I absolutely recommend the pasta - I've never had a pasta that good before! The staff were all really good and very helpful with menu choices. Definitely worth a visit!
