What an amazing restaurant 🥰 They have excellent staff, really great service. Food was delicious, limoncello margarita was exceptional and absolutely loved the ambiance. I had a blast on my birthday and will definitely recommend this place 10/10 to everyone.

Really lovely experience here, with great food :) Everyone enjoyed their food, and I think the Gnocchi Verde I had was great, however, the Polenta Fries here are literally the best ones I've had so far and I would come back just for those!!

Great service, food is nice, although their pizza seems fairly different from the Neapolitan style that I love, I find the dough and especially the crust on the tougher side, the sauce and toppings r solid. The signature pizza bread appetizer is unexpectedly good, perhaps even better the the pizza, we also ordered a pistachio dish which is very tasty, and a risotto ball starter which is good but doesn’t go great with the sauce, coming off a bit too rich and heavy. The panna cotta is very nice. The ambiance is old fashion and nice, but we find the lights r a little too dim, making it a little challenging to see things or reading the menu. Interestingly enough, this place resembles another Italian restaurant in town in many ways like the identical logos on napkins and menus, very similar decor and menu designs. I suspect maybe the same owner.

Atmosphere is wonderful. Staff are excellent, and the food and drinks superb. A whole menu of plant based options, so fantastic for vegans. All 4 of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals (and the whole dining experience.) Thanks Formaggio's!

Best Italian food I've had in a very long time. We got the fungi and margarita pizzas which were just perfect. The tomato sauce on the margarita was so good and the crust was the perfect thickness. Desserts were also delicious. Staff are very friendly as well. Overall fantastic experience, can't wait to come back.

Booked a table for a birthday dinner and had a wonderful time. Good atmosphere. The staff gave us a lovely round table and were very attentive. They even put candles in the birthday girl’s dessert and gathered around to sing happy birthday, which she loved. Food was excellent and seemed very authentic. Gnocchi was mouthwatering. Would definitely recommend 👍

Great atmosphere,popular and busy but friendly welcoming staff. Had a chat with the Italian owner who was very open and friendly. Food was delicious and great value. Really tasty. We had the house pizza bread for starters, Gnocchi and spaghetti for mains -the food was so good forgot to take a picture until halfway through the spaghetti and nearly finished the gnocchi. Finished with raspberry, coconut and chocolate gelato Super tasty Highly recommend this place, just don't book all the tables when we go back pls

Delicious food, great service and lovely atmosphere. Delighted to see an entire plant based menu, great drinks menu and support of native forest restoration. Keep up the great work, Team! Lots of other restaurants would do well to take notes and let Formaggio's show them how it's really done! 💚
