The best restaurants serving Italian food in Marlow South East Wycombe South East

My wife and I revisited the restaurant yesterday as an unplanned lunch, but having visited previously for dinner some time ago we wanted to refresh our relationship with the venue. It was after 2 pm but we were delighted that they were still serving lunch until 4 pm, so entered. The restaurant was busy, always a good sign especially at lunch time, the venue has a lot of atmosphere and the staff immediately make you feel welcome. The lunch time menu is amazingly good value with lots of choices plus several specials on offer. My wife started with steamed mussels in white wine whilst I opted for crawfish with avocado. Both were tasty, fulfilling and exceeded expectations. My wife had lasagne for her mains whilst I went for escalope of pork in a creamy mushroom sauce with vegetables, one of my favourites Italian dishes. The portions were large, cooked to perfection and delicious. By now we were both too full for desert though the choice was amazing. The staff are warm and friendly and the overall bill was amazingly cheap in this day and age. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone and we are already planning our next visit in 2025!

An Italian cafe set in a pleasant quadrangle off Marlow High St. A selection of pastries and sandwiches with some hot food. Attentive staff and an Italian atmosphere.

Disappointing after the glowing reviews. Food was average, and service was mediocre. Maybe it was an off night, but unfortunately we won't be around to give it a second chance.

Sebastian gave us a warm welcome and was attentive and friendly throughout our visit. Food was very tasty!

Excellent dessert shop. We really enjoyed our experience here and our dessert was absolutely delicious. Thank you to the staff for letting us taste flavours before committing to them and for the generous portions- rare to see these days and very much appreciated

As mentioned in other reviews this restaurant has a nice vibe going on and could be a really great. Food - reasonable but limited choice, pricey starters and desserts. Pasta and Pizza choices were nice. Beverages - reasonable choice of alcoholic and non alcoholic. Service - very south European in other words slow! Waited 30 minutes for starter and about 45 minutes for the main course but that would be ok if you can relax and chat which is rather difficult as i mention below. Experience - too many covers for size of restaurant everything is a little squeezed, in one sense it adds to the vibe but taking a few tables out would make for a much more relaxed environment. DJ adds to the vibe but the sound levels are all wrong, don’t expect to be able to talk to each other! Someone needs to work out it’s a restaurant not a disco and it would make for a much better experience. Just turn it down and it would be so much better. This could be a great restaurant just lacks some of the basic thinking needed to make for a “I want to go back” experience.
