La Tagliata - Italian Restaurant

"Beautiful, small cozy restaurant with a home-like atmosphere. Bruschetta with creamy cheese with a truffle, with a rocket and prosciutto was a very good start, together with a glass of Montepulciano. Smaller portion of fish soup in the lobster bisque as a starter (you can have the big portion as a main course too) was very good, spicy and rich in taste, full of mussels and shrimps, however I would welcome a bit more fish in it and less shrimps and mussels and a bit thinner texture, not that thick, but overall very good. Main course chosen from daily truffle specials was pasta with mushrooms, shrimps and truffle. All done well but I am afraid this combination of tastes does not work together that well and simpler version just tagliatelle, porcini and truffle would work much better, but I know some like the combination of mashrooms with shrimps. Coffee with Tiramisu was a good end. I will come back!"

"A fantastic authentic Italian experience. Exceptional pasta (I had the carbonara), some of the best I've had, including in Italy. My wife had the lobster pasta dish which she said was delicious. Very friendly service, attentive but not over bearing or rushed. Reasonable prices, including on wine, but I'd recommend by the bottle. By the glass is 175ml and not as good value. Tiramisu was very good. Espresso okay, but to be honest by that point I didn't have much space left!!"

"What an absolute treasure this restaurant is. Found via TripAdvisor as one of the few Italians open on a Monday and wow, we were lucky. The two pictured dishes were stunning and cooked to absolute perfection. Seafood is often wasted in restaurants but here they served two fishy starters without fault. The fresh pasta in the main course was devine and served with a slight bite, exactly as I like it. Staff were polite and attentive providing the level of service you expect from a good Italian. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a cosy couples meal."

"Slow service to start and they took orders from a few other tables who arrived later before us. Food was excellent - fresh, delicious and deceptively filling. Pre-booking essential on busy occasions like Valentine’s Day. We were seated at the front by the window and it was definitely on the cold side, with a hint of damp smell, so I’d love to see some heaters installed for winter. If I was to visit again I’d simply ask to be sat away from the window in the winter."
