    Great little Osteria, hidden away off a small alley. Once inside great ambiance, wonderful food & friendly staff. A great experience. Loved it. Will return.

    This is a lovely cosy restaurant. Great wine and the food is good Italian. Not much choice for vegans and the tables are quite tight in a very small room but it’s still gorgeous.

    Real hidden gem that I am delighted to have discovered. Great little menu full of genuine Italian dishes. Service was excellent and I would recommend to anyone. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars for value (albeit 5 stars overall and for everything else!) was that the wine list was a bit lacking at the lower end so not many choice below £55/£60. Not suggesting the wines were overpriced for what was offered, just there may be consideration for a wider choice at say the £30 to £50 range. Thanks for a cracking evening and we will be back for sure (PS - the Focaccia Recco Style genuinely was a must try!)

    The staff are amazing and the food is excellent. However the decor is as dark as can be with black walls and down lighters so harsh that they cast horrible shadows over your face and make the setting very stark. Some softer lighting and some lamps or candles which are more effective than the battery operated ones used in Cambio Marcia would really enhance the ambiance which in my opinion was the only thing lacking yet made a potentially great experience only okay. Lovely staff, lovely food.

    Absolutely outstanding spot. Interesting regional dishes from Liguria that you don’t see all the time (very well cooked and presented) and a quite frankly phenomenally constructed wine list with some brilliant hidden gems as well as classic favourites. Excellent produce used in everything and great service too. This is my new favourite spot in Guildford and maybe the entire southeast.

    The best Italian I have had outside of Italy. Serena, our server was so attentive and hard working. The food was very unique and the flavours were ace! I highly recommend this place for a special occasion.

    Superb authentic Italian restaurant. Excellent service and very helpful recommendations. One of the best restaurants we’ve been to in a long time and rivals the best restaurants we went to in Tuscany.
