Yasmin H Excellent food - having grown up in Thailand, it is very refreshing to come across a genuinely authentically Thai restaurant in the UK. I have been twice with my family of 6 and the food has been incredible each time. They are also very accommodating of children, kind and friendly staff. Have recommended to many and will continue to do so.

N N Loved our visit to AperiPasta Italian Kitchen & Prosecco Bar! The owner was incredibly welcoming and set a great vibe from the start. The Arrosticini Abruzzesi were spot on, but the real star was the Spaghetti ai Frutti di Mare — rich, well-seasoned, and full of flavour, every bite was deeply satisfying. Would be amazing to see Fritto Misto added to the menu in the future — it would be perfect with beers while watching sports and a great reason to pop in with friends or family. Fantastic atmosphere and food overall, we’ll definitely be back soon!

Jules AC Beautiful location, the owner is really entertaining, its the real deal full of Italians who know how to cook and serve amazing coffee. The fresh produce they have is spot on. The food is delicious and tasty. I love the location and staff they are very friendly. I felt well taken care of and it was very enjoyable eating here. The deserts were really good and the coffee was so full flavoured. I really enjoyed myself. I highly recommend them. I hope you enjoy yourselves as well. Please click like if you enjoyed my review.

Skillspro a Food was amazing, service was great. It was also very clean inside

Dan A highly recommended restaurant but just don’t miss out on the fudge!! What is in the water in Bray? This is the third of the big four that I have been to and it was just perfect for a family lunchtime meal. The staff are super friendly, our kids felt welcome (even though they are well behaved this is not always the case in a nice restaurant) and the food was really out of this world. I don’t know who the head chef is but in every dish the balance of flavours was quite frankly remarkable. I had the best steak I have ever eaten, the best panna cotta and don’t even get me started on the fudge. The fudge came at the end with a little birthday plate for my daughter. We joked that more food was the last thing we wanted but when we told the waiter how much we loved it and he asked if we wanted a bit more in unison we replied “yes please”. Worth noting though that I don’t think the fudge is on the menu so if you are going make sure you take someone whose birthday it is. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know them or even if it’s someone you don’t like because the fudge will be absolutely worth it!!
