   Good food, friendly service. Lighting was a a bit low and needed phone torch to read menu as print was small. Also, we are noticing that a lot of restraunts and cafes use table cleaning products that result in a sticky feeling table which is very unpleasant and Dal Patino is one of them.

   The restaurant is small, cosy and packed with character. Let me transport you to the sun-drenched regions of Southern Italy, where the essence of traditional Italian cuisine comes alive. Imagine a rustic Italian restaurant, nestled in the heart of the countryside, reminiscent of Nonna’s cosy kitchen. There’s a warm ambiance about this place. As you step inside, the scent of freshly cooked food envelops you. The walls are adorned with vintage family photos, there’s a weathered fire place, wooden floors and worn wooden tables, inviting you to sit and savour. The menu celebrates simplicity. Imagine platters of bruschetta drizzled with unfiltered extra virgin olive oil, ribbons of pasta with slow-cooked ragù, and bubbled pizzas topped with buffalo mozzarella and basil leaves. We tucked into a few sharing plates to start followed by our own mains. BURRATA AL PESTO DI POMODORINI SECCHI (£8.50) - Burrata, basil, olive oil, chopped pistachio and a sundried tomato pesto PANE E OLIO (v) (£3.50) - Homemade crusty bread served with olive oil. A gem is their Burrata al Pesto di Pomodorini Secchi—a harmonious blend of creamy burrata, fragrant basil, and the rich flavours of sundried tomato pesto. The burrata outer shell is delicate, while the interior oozes with lusciousness. The burrata rests like a treasure in the centre of the dish, its creamy heart spilling out and you can’t wait to cut it open. Sometimes, it’s the simplest things that steal our hearts. I loved the theatre of Pane E Olio dish. The Pane e Olio is a humble yet irresistible offering—a celebration of crusty bread and the liquid gold that is olive oil. Served piping hot inside a brown paper bag. Tip out the slices of hot bread and smother them in olive oil or dunk them in olive oil. My only criticism is that the olive oil is served in sachets - and I definitely do prefer olive oil served in a proper decanter! FOCACCIA AL POMODORO (v) (£7) - Focaccia with cherry tomatoes, garlic, basil and olive oil. Imagine warm, pillowy focaccia, kissed by olive oil, and adorned with vibrant cherry tomatoes. The bread is golden brown, with a soft interior and a crispy crust. It’s the canvas for a flavour symphony whilst the cherry tomatoes are wee bursts of sweetness adding colour and juiciness like edible jewels. PACCHERI CALABRESE CON ‘NDUJA (£12.50) - Paccheri with ‘nduja (spicy, spreadable Italian sausage), tomato sauce, spinach, basil and aged ricotta cheese. Let the ‘nduja work its magic. Each forkful is a rollercoaster of flavours. TAGLIATELLE AL RAGU EMILIANO (£13) - Tagliatelle in a traditional bolognese sauce. A traditional dish, slow-cooked with love. Their ragu rich sauce is cradled in these silky strands of pasta so that the flavours combine in every bite. This was slightly over salted but we still demolished the dishes. CALZONE CLASSICO (£13.50) - Folded pizza filled with mozzarella, salami, ham, mushrooms and a touch of tomato sauce. This is ginormous and I feel it would be what a pizza would look like if it was a hug! Deep filled with all the best ingredients and plenty of cheese. After indulging in those delightful carbs, dessert seemed like a distant dream. However, if I had to choose, the Panna Cotta or the classic Tiramisu would have won my heart. As for the libations, while my Birre Moretti was a great choice, I’d have gladly raised a glass of chilled Pinot Grigio or a fruity Prosecco to complete the Italian experience at Dal Patino. I’m thrilled that a birthday celebration led me to Dal Patino! Although it wasn’t on my radar, I’m genuinely delighted we dined here. The food was unbelievably delicious, the service friendly and efficient, and every bite truly hit the spot.

   We went there for the first time on Friday lunchtime and we took our 7 year old granddaughter with us. The first thing to say is that we will definitely be back! The restaurant was cozy and warm and completely authentic. The food was excellent. We had mussels to start which were perfectly cooked and pizza and pasta for main. My arrabbiata was perfect. The waiter was great and lovely to our granddaughter. Only one thing was that you can’t add a tip to a card payment and we didn’t have any cash with us. Never mind - we’ll just have to go back soon and take cash with us next time!

   Food was fabulous but unfortunately not enough staff to cover the tables. The starters came quite quickly but we waited just under two hours for our main courses. This would have been fine however other tables who had came in well after us had their starters and mains well before us. We had to ask for another drink as that wasn't forthcoming. Again, the food was fabulous.

   Love this place. Went there early evening with a friend to have a pizza and really enjoyed it. Don't often go to restaurants, but will certainly go back to this one. Excellent value for money and service. Great ambiance.
