Great friendly restaurant.
Tina Turner tribute evening was great. Food was good as usual and the atmosphere was excellent. Certainly the best restaurant locally. Friendly, good food and welcoming.

Perfect wedding anniversary lunch !!
A memorable wedding anniversary lunch, for once a restaurant which lives up to the reviews Authentic Italian/Sicilian dishes and great wine, served with Italian flair and friendly banter We both had the scallop starter, Madame had the crab ravioli with mussels and I had the liver….I asked if it was possible to substitute the mashed potato with pasta….not a problem For dolci, I asked for affogato….not on the menu….again no problem. Thank you Ana & Salvo

One word - excellent.
One word - excellent. Greeted by the Owner, seated straightaway and offered water. Drinks followed and I asked for Sparkling Water with Lemon & Ice - No pressure to buy branded. Quick served. Had Fritto Misto to start with Calves Liver as main. Best liver I've had all year. Partner had Pasta which she said was superb. I finished with Formaggi, OH had Tiramisu. Both were generous portions. Easy parking in Bridewell Lane CP just behind restaurant.

Really recommend Montalbano!
The food was fantastic and the people who own the place are lovely! We come from the Netherlands came to visit England like we do every year. We went to this restaurant and it’s so good really authentic Italian cuisine and style. Raul, Adriano and the rest of the staff (I believe it’s an Italian family business) really make you feel like you’re in Italy! Loved it!!!

The red wine was delicious
Having seen the rave reviews I was super excited to secure a last minute table online. Easy enough to find on the high street with on street parking pretty much outside. Buzzy atmosphere and attentive (thankfully not overly familiar) service. Food was good - not outstanding - maybe I'd hyped myself up to expect utterly amazing? I can't even remember exactly what we ordered now. I definitely had the Casarecce pasta all'arrabbiata, as veggie main choices were a little limited. My favourite thing was in fact the two glasses of delicious red wine that made me a little giggly!

Very busy restaurant serving well-made dishes
We booked a table for four on Friday night and were allocated a two-hour slot from 18:00 to 20:00. The place was buzzing when we arrived and remained packed throughout, which is presumably why they want to turn the tables. We went for mains and puds, with two cod dishes, one steak and liver, all of which arrived promptly and were well made and cooked. The desserts were good, as was the cheeseboard but it was a bit disappointing that no-one could give me the names of the cheeses. With some coffees to finish, dinner was over within the two-hour slot and we had enjoyed a very nice meal.
