Harden's survey result
Summary
Set on the water by the town bridge over the Thames, a “typically old-school” outfit that’s “family-run”, “long-established” and “excellent value for money” for what is “authentic Italian food”; you dine in a smart, tiled room with a “nice buzz” and “well-paced service”.
Summary
Limited, but all-round good feedback on this attractively located riverside Italian – traditional in style, and not far from the town’s bridge over the Thames.
Summary
“Romance and the aroma of Italian food waft through the premises” – an “excellent, authentic” riverside venture (sibling to Marlow’s Villa d’Este) whose “outstanding” food ain’t cheap, but is largely deemed to be worth it.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
