Reviews Overview
Most Liked
The wood-fired pizzas rank high among customers' favorites, with the Margherita and Pepperoni praised for their simple yet incredible flavors. Diners particularly love the vibrant atmosphere brought to life through live music on select evenings, creating a lively dining experience.
The robust wine list complements the delicious offerings perfectly, leading many to enjoy a leisurely meal complete with delightful sips. Customers frequently express admiration for the friendly staff, who enhance the dining experience with attentive service and helpful suggestions. The homemade desserts also earn rave reviews, especially the chocolate brownie, with many saying it’s a must-try.
Most Disliked
Some diners point out that during busy hours, a wait for a table can be a drawback, especially on weekends when popular dishes may run out. The takeaway option, albeit convenient, can sometimes leave customers wishing for the full in-house experience.
A few patrons have mentioned that while the portion sizes are generous, certain main dishes could benefit from additional seasoning or flavor depth. Non-pizza items sometimes feel overlooked compared to their famously beloved pizzas, leading some to desire more emphasis on variety across the menu.

This restaurant's atmosphere and food quality rival those of the well-known large restaurants in Swansea and Mumbles. Everything is truly delicious, with a home-cooked, high-quality taste. The attention to detail and the quality of the ingredients is palpable. The chef and staff offer a very friendly and warm welcome.

Both the pizza, and the pasta, were amazing - the staff were fantastic, especially the owner, and the restaurant was very welcoming. Can't recommend enough. Went here with my parter and two friends, everyone of us loved it.

Best Pizza since coming back from Venice, last year! - Never left a review before but was well deserving of one. Super friendly staff all with smiles on their faces, great menu choice, all reasonably priced, and the best pizza we’ve had since our trip to Italy. Can’t wait to go back again!

Super friendly and helpful owner, helped point us towards the waterfall down the river and the other direction towards where Kingfishers are spotted sometimes- he drew us a map on the back of the menu ! :) Beautiful scenery just minutes away. They have a fire oven for freshly bake pizzas, Spanish Tapas and the Sunday Roast - Slow Roasted and well Seasoned pork are well recommended. Lovely interior too, very well lite. Cheers Josie

My wife went here with some girlfriends and was keen to bring me, it did not disappoint. Really relaxed atmosphere, we booked but could see that they allow walk-in business as well. Maria had a glass of prosecco & a glass of rosé, I had Bacardi & coke. The coke was the real thing, getting to be a rare thing in Swansea with the ghastly popular alternative & hideous own brands most everyone is serving now... rant over :o). The food was just lovely and home-made, super-soft meatballs in a rich tomato sauce & the pizza on home-made base was divine, layers of flavour, I didn't want it to end. The owner, Sean, told us the ingredients are all locally sourced. I'm not a fan of chains & the resulting food miles, so it's great to hear that this establishment is promoting & supporting local businesses, something I can get behind. We will definitely be back.
