Valvona & Crolla

Verdict

4/5: Excellent, will go back

• Would it seek out: Yes, if entertaining toddlers
• Would go back: Only if asked
• Standout dish(es): N/a
• Decor: Italian farmhouse
• Service: Good
• Other thoughts: Big seating area at the back of an Italian delicatessen. Very child-friendly, otherwise better price-to-quality ratio elsewhere. While you can’t buy produce e.g. cheese from the shop to eat in the cafe, you can for wine @£8 corkage.
