Yet another gorgeous meal at Padellas. I have eaten here several times over the years and have always had a fantastic meal. The food is always cooked to perfection and the specials board always offers seasonal dishes that are outstanding. The Staff are polite and friendly and make you feel welcome.

Such a cute restaurant, reasonably priced and amazing meal out. Boyfriend and I were visiting the area and came for dinner. I had the seafood pasta and it was the BEST seafood pasta I have ever had (and I get it everywhere!). My boyfriend had the Calzone and again it was lovely. It was a very hot day and a full restaurant so was a little warm but worth it for the food. Would 100% recommend going here if in the area, but definitely book as it is very small. The waitress was lovely and very attentive.

If we could rate this restaurant more than 5 stars we would. All dishes were full of flavour and hearty. The staff were professional and friendly. We would not hesitate to recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area. We will definitely visit again.

Delicious pastas, pizzas and starters. Affordable prices, very kind waitress and cozy place. Just a minus think is long waiting time at table. I guess every dishes making individually and fresh, that’s why.
