Summary
“Still going strong after all these years”; for “real Italian food” (the “usual suspects” plus “some interesting Sardinian specialities”) you “can’t beat” brothers Roberto & Walter Pani’s recently refurbed “old favourite”, launched in the mid nineties.
Summary
Brothers Roberto & Walter Pani opened their “lovely” and “buzzy” favourite in 1995 – “a great-value Italian venue which rarely disappoints,” offering a “varied menu of high-standard” Sardinian and Italian classics. “Staff are very motivated”, while last year’s “successful refurbishment makes it brighter inside”.
Summary
“A local institution which nearly always comes up trumps even when it is very busy”; staff “treat you like family”, the “ambience is fab” and the bargainous Sardinian food is “always reliable” (homely classics being supported by “interesting and varied specials”).
