I really enjoyed this restaurant. The quality of the food was excellent and the service was very good. The food came very quickly and was tasty. All of the food is freshly cooked. The price for the food is also very reasonable considering you're in a very touristy place. They also have a very good selection of gluten free options and the gluten free pizza is cooked from fresh as well. I would recommend coming to this restaurant earlier on in the evening as it can get very busy and they don't take reservations. I would definitely recommend going.
Absolutely gorgeous experience with this mistro, Straight away we were greeted with smiles and conversation. The woman was fast and sharp to deliver our menus and take our order. We were offered water along side our drinks and meal. Our food was served hot and prompt. Would recommend to anyone visiting.
Wow what can I say about this place? The food is gorgeous, truely one of the nicest dishes I’ve tasted. Tasty but not too overpowering. They were super good with my allergies and a lot could be made gluten free. The only downside I have is, I attempted to call this place x2 to make a reservation and the phone was disengaged, lucky to have got a table as a walk in!
Stunningly good in an outstanding location. The restaurant was full of atmosphere and the food did not dissapoint. Chicken escallop in a mushroom, cream and white wine sauce with gnocchi was beautiful. Would've preferred a pan sear on the gnocchi bit was still lovely. Carne. Stunning. Perfectly cooked. Staff where amazing. Thank you for a lovely meal.
As a family of 4 and with our dog, we sat outside and received magnificent service and wonderful food. The staff were great and talkative and everything we ordered was very tasty and reasonably priced. In our opinion this place is highly recommended
My sister in law and myself both said we'd never had such a delicious pizza in ages. My Funghi pizza had the right amount of mushrooms on such a delicious and perfectly cooked pizza, of which I ate all of it!( Seriously, me eating a whole pizza is very rare!) My sister in law's pizza Prosciutto was also absolutely delicious! The service was brilliant and the place had a great sound of music quiet in the background. Brilliant place!
We had a lovely afternoon meal at Misto and it was a fantastic experience! We tried the spicy meat pizza and the funghi pizza, both of which were absolutely delicious. But the real standout was the halloumi fries – they were hands down the best we’ve ever had! The restaurant itself was clean, cosy, and had a really welcoming atmosphere. The staff were incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home. We can’t wait to go back for another meal! Highly recommend this place!
Both my wife and myself had a lovely two course meal at this restaurant last night, this is our second visit over the past few weeks. Both times we were extremely impressed with the wonderful food and staff. Ideal for enjoying great food while chilling out. Now looking forward to dining here again.
