Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We were always planning on giving this place a visit, because of all the excellent reports we heard. The restaurant did not let us down. My advice to sure of your table, book in advance, its a great business with a lot of demand. Although...we did not book a table, we were kindly shown to our table and we ordered our food. We had Minestrone soup with sourdough bread. Both were cooked fresh and were superb. The other starter was Bruschetta with cheese, you will not get better. For mains we had the special of spaghetti with chilli, garlic and prawns in a tomato based sauce, an excellent dish. The other dish was the Speciale Della Casa, it had penne pasta with chicken, spicy Italian sausage with chilli and a tomato based sauce, another excellent dish. This place is a gem with wonderful staff, excellent food and cosy setting. Highly recommended and yes we will be back.More

Took my Mum here for lunch and although we didn’t have a reservation the lovely Simona gave us a table and asked that we finish before 1:00pm as there was another booking. We had soup and were there for 20 mins when a rather brusque...waiter came and practically threw us off the table. He rushed us to pay and when I complained he would not accept that he had been rude. I certainly didn’t imagine it and my elderly mother was quite flustered by it all. A real shame that someone would let down this otherwise lovely little cafe/restaurant.More

Myself and my husband LOVE this restaurant. The staff are so nice, always make a point of welcoming us when we arrive and try to give us our regular table when it's available. Book in advance as it can get busy. It's in a central...location and easily accessible. Great vibe and we eat here on a regular basis, both inside and takeaway.More

First time trying Simona was on Sunday (covid 19 pandemic!) and we got a takeaway. Pizza. Pasta. Bruschetta. All deeeeeelish!! We really enjoyed it. The young guy who took my order over the phone was a true little gent (son of the owners I assume)....He also took my payment when I collected my meal. An asset to team. Young girl behind the counter and a woman too - both happy and welcomed me. I loved collecting my food. Family run. Will be back. Amazing food and great service. Well done Simona 👍🏻More
