Mediterraneo

My family (2 adults and 2 children, age 12 and 10, 1 vegetarian) ate here on a Sunday evening in the Christmas holidays. The atmosphere was relaxing and friendly with nice piano music in the background and beautiful photos of Italy on the walls. The lady who served us (we think the owner) was lovely and explained all the specials and any menu items we needed help with. In case it is of interest to others, I overheard her explaining to another table that they had gluten free pasta but couldn't guarantee food to be gluten free. Between the four of my family we had a Margherita pizza, a Margherita with olives, Scallopione ai funghi and Spaghetti carbonara. All meals were polished off enthusiastically! My children had milkshakes as a dessert (they enjoyed the cream topping!), I enjoyed a Baileys hot chocolate with toppings and my partner enjoyed the Tiramisu. We all had a drink with the meal (soft drinks for the kids, a medium glass of wine and 2 beers) and the bill came to just over £100. We thought this was very reasonable considering the quality of the food, the excellent service and the authenticity of the experience. We will remember this restaurant for our next visit to Paignton.

We went there as a group of 6, the service was spot on, not slow not fast. They catered for my wife's gluten allergy and someone else's portion size. It's a small place so you have to book We will be going back there in the future. Funniest thing was the bill was hand written.
