We choose this restaurant to celebrate our wedding anniversary and have no regrets at all! Fantastic home cooked food, with generous portions, we could not manage a desert on this visit! Even though our table was booked for later in the evening for another sitting we were not rushed at all, attention from the staff was spot on and not... More

We went to Montanaro's as we were given a voucher as a Christmas gift. I must admit I wasn't really looking forward to it. As their were six in my party we put a deposit down. I popped in one afternoon to pay it. On first impression,I thought it was a very basic layout,more cafe style. But coming from the... More

had a very nice meal here with friends. Food was very tasty and plentiful. Service was attentive and unobtrusive. The restaurant is very small, so my only grumble was that as we were sitting near to the door it was a little chilly as people came in and out, but otherwise worth a visit if you like Italian food.

Recommended by a few people and spurred on by all the excellent reviews I decided to try this place for a belated valentines meal. It did not disappoint.Despite turning up a few minutes early our table was already ready but we were told that we may be waiting a little while. Well the wait was no where near as long... More

I saw all the wonderfully raving reviews of this place and thought "In Swad?!! Really?!!" So I had to give it a go. Well I suppose it is all down to what you're used to. It's more cheap and cheerful than proper dining. The staff were great and welcoming and the food was ok, but nothing to write home about.... More
