Visited on a recent Friday evening with family members because of good reports we had been given by friends. The restaurant is comfortably and attractively furnished although the tables for two looked a bit on the small side. The staff were friendly and attentive but service was rather slow considering the place was only half full. The a la carte... More

My husband and I are serious foodies and have travelled at home and abroad to try good restaurants. We were amazed to find La Famiglia on our doorstep! The food is excellent - rivals many of the michelin starred restaurants we have eaten in. Great wine too! The staff are helpful and very friendly. You must try this restaurant!!

First visit. This was more than a good Italian restaurant. Forget regular pasta choices. Dishes were exciting, making our choice a challenge. Try the squid - it's not squid as we know it! The squid is like a risotto! Sensational. Scallops & quails eggs were declared to be Devine! Lamb &hake mains were each imaginative without being over fussy. Portions... More

I found the food below average with quite a random selection of ingredien thrown together and to be charged nearly £10 for a glass of house wine is scandalous. I noticed other day there was work being done and I hoped it might have been closing down but unfortunately it's still there. Will never consider going again. Also waiter was... More

Firstly I'd like to thank you for visiting the restaurant and in sorry you did not enjoy your experience.

I can appreciate that we can't make every customer happy although we aim... More

Went on a spur of the moment & very pleasantly surprised by this little gem. Great value mid week menu @ £13.95 a head for 2 courses. Arancini balls were great as was the smoked haddock fish cake, to follow I had crab linguini & my partner had chicken Milanese, both hearty portions with great taste. The a la carte... More

I love this place! Nico is a fantastic chef and his food is delicious. He obviously uses quality produce and I have no complaints whatsoever about the food (especially the gnocchi!), staff, atmosphere and price. It is worth every penny. I have been a few times and I have found the service to be excellent. :)
