If I could give these guys more stars I absolutely would!! First of all the staff are excellent, great personalities, always smiling; friendly and we enjoyed a joke with them. I cannot praise them enough for how they were with my son, talking to him, accommodating him with anything he needed and allowing him to take his time with him meal. Our food was absolutely magnificent. By far the best Italian restaurant I have ever been too. It was fresh, piping hot and full of flavour. The desserts were to absolutely die for. I wish I had visited more in our one week holiday but unfortunately found this gem at the end of our stay. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough not just for date nights but definitely family nights as well. Thank you so much guys! We will see you next year!

Wonderful atmosphere, really welcoming and friendly always and they remember you. The food is always amazing and fresh and its so nice to see the food being freshly cooked as part of the restaurant aesthetic. It really is one of the best restaurants ive ever been in as you always leave with a smile on your face on a well cooked meal. Theres always room for a pannacotta!!

We visited this place for the first time and we were not disappointed. We saw that it had many good reviews and were intrigued to see if it lived up to the good reviews. The food was absolutely incredible. I highly recommend the calzone. It was probably the best calzone we’ve ever tried. All the pastas were very good too. Oh, and we also recommend the tiramisu for dessert. All in all this is an absolutely incredible little Italian and all the staff are really friendly and welcoming. Looking forward to coming back again. 10/10.

Just come back from a lovely meal at La Vela. Celebrated my birthday with my wife, the food and service was excellent, only put 4 stars for the atmosphere as it was a quiet Tuesday night, but imagine it would be excellent later in the week. Thank you Dino and your staff for a wonderful time.
