Montanaro's - Swadlincote

Starter was Garlic mushrooms and it was just that. Bunch of boiled mushrooms chopped up in a bowl. Lots of water at the bottom. Tasted nice although there was a lot for a starter. Bruschetta looked nice and was told it tasted delicious. They hadn't got one of the few veggie options I wanted for the main but i went for the four cheese pasta. Again, very basic presentation. Just pasta in a bowl, but it was very tasty. We were told we couldn't have tap water as there was bits in it so we were sold a bottle of water but weren't told we were going to be charged five pound fifty for it! This was too over priced considering it wasn't our fault that the tap water wasn't available. The Server was very nice but at first we weren't sure if he was staff as he just had a scruffy hoodie and jeans on. It is a lovely little place that is one of Swadlincotes hidden treasures. Would recommend you give it a try. Friends had dessert which looked delicious. Lots to choose from and generous portions. Parking: A five minute walk from rink drive car park which is free to park. You can't park outside the restaurant as it's on the high street which is pedestrianised.

Excellent fresh cooked Italian food. We went in Sat 11 Nov, early doors. We was the first booking in and it soon filled up before we left.The food was cooked fresh and quick. First time going, but will definately go again. I would suggest to anyone to book first as it is not a huge place but cozey. Recommend their Tiramisu. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner
