The atmosphere was quite nice and the service was exceptional. However, we were told that we would be receiving bread before our starters, the bread never arrived. That’s okay because the appetizers that were ordered, the meatballs and arancini, made up for it. They came out warm and very tasty, I would highly recommend. The pizzas were very good, the duo of salami was good but the hot honey was a little too much. The calabra as very spicy, so just be careful. The sardine pizza was too salty, I would recommend no capers on it. The pepperoni was very good.

Food - 10/10 absolutely delicious, the Onzo Tiramisu was excellent as was the Crème Brûlée. We had a garlic pizza, pepperoni pizza and chicken Parmesan. All absolutely delicious. Waiter, very good, felt like he was a bit rushed with us, I’m not sure, perhaps like as there were only two of us that he wanted to get us out of the way? But he was friendly and helpful. I had the draft beer which was very cold and delicious! My partner had a cocktail, for £10 it was absolutely tiny but very tasty. Took a while to get the bill, I asked for one from a waitress which never came, eventually the chap brought one over. I only have one bad thing to say, that the restaurant has a discretionary 10% tip added on to the bill. I’ve never liked this, I don’t think it’s a restaurants job to add a tip. However that’ll be a management decision. Management please take note. I did however leave a tip, but not 10% and explained this to the waiter. Overall very very good food, lovely atmosphere and I would certainly recommend.
Recommend this eatery as a decent place to grab a pizza or pasta. It can get very busy during peak season but when we visited, the staff did what they could to accommodate us. Very friendly and the service itself was excellent when we got in. The food is top notch - the pizzas in particular have a number of tasty toppings, the bases are nice and thin and not stodgy. We didn't have a pasta dish but looking at the other tables, the pasta looks appetising too. The deserts are generous portions. The atmosphere is chilled and relaxed and certainly family friendly. Situated right on the harbour in St Ives it's ideal to grab a bite then have a wander. Check it out - recommended.
Dog friendly before 4PM Popped in on the off chance and grabbed a table for 3. We have our own stone based pizza oven at home, so anything away from home is hard to beat. Pleased to report this is one of the most delicious pizzas I’ve ever had. Highly recommend the sardines, the French fries, the rocket salad and especially the duo salami pizza with hot honey sauce. Friendly staff and beautiful spot by the sea.
Lovely chilled atmosphere, fast service of delicious food. Very reasonably priced too. Consider booking ahead.
Excellent Italian/ Pizzeria with freshly made tasty pizza, indeed voted 11th best pizza place in the country. Can be busy so best to book a table. Quick efficient service in the old lifeboat house.
Recommend to book in advance as the place gets really busy, excellent food and service. Pizza and small plates were very good and nice to share and sample few things at once. Family friendly and nice atmosphere overall.
We had an excellent dinner here and enjoyed very tasty pizzas. They had a wide variety of dishes and pizza toppings. The size of the pizzas was generous and the price reasonable. The staff was welcoming and nice. We would recommended it to have a good pizza at St Ives.
