We were taken out for lunch by family to this delicious restaurant and could not have ask for more. The pizzas were fresh with some of the best and thinnest dough I’ve had. The front of house staff did well coping with our mixed orders of entrees and mains in what was a busy Sunday lunch period. Tasted quite a few dishes as a result and look forward to returning to try the rest of the menu. Cocktails, mocktails and wines including the Venetian Prosecco were highly rated by our table. Thank you to team for a special lunch experience. See you again soon!

We were a group of 10 celebrating a birthday. We were seated at the back of the restaurant in the Garden room. It was perfect. The food was amazing and the wine list was great. Nothing was too much trouble and we were able to take a birthday cake to have for dessert 🎂. Il Caminetto does not charge cakeage which is a bonus. Thank you for a great night ♥️
