Came for an Xmas do, food was fabulous and great quality, attentive service and good atmosphere. My only suggestion is to remove the low hanging lights, 3 of our party hit their heads on them getting up from the table. Would definitely come back.

We had a spontaneous celebratory Sunday dinner and tried out Bonnane for the first time. The staff were very friendly and I would definitely come back. Only thing was the music was sometimes a bit too much of a dance pop vibe for a Sunday evening. The arancini didn’t taste super fresh as they were a bit too crunchy and not creamy. The pizza was very nice! All in all a comfortable place and the staff were so attentive and kind!
