    I felt like I was transported to Italy as soon as I walked in the door. From the traditional decor to the welcoming staff and of course the deliciously authentic menu. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the sauces were full of flavour - you could tell the ingredients were good quality and they’d been cooked with love. But our favourite part was the service - all the staff were so passionate and seemed to truly care that we had a great experience. We’ll definitely be back :-)

    My friends and I recently ate at Meantime - The Entrance and loved the experience. The service was very friendly and the food was great. I was the only Coeliac that can't eat gluten and I was like a kid in a candy store trying to decide what to eat with everything being Gluten Free. I enjoyed my choices and the squid was really good. My gluten eating friends didn't notice the difference and also thought the food was great.

    From the moment you walk in the atmosphere is so beautiful and you are greeted with a traditional Buona Sera, which warmed my heart immediately! Taken to our seats and offered water and a drinks menu. Then the food!!! Absolutely amazing. We shared antipasto for entrees and scallops. Then our mains, my partner thoroughly enjoyed her fresh pasta and I was over the moon with my steak. Deserts that followed were equally as good Definitely be going back to this wonderful place. Great for couples or a big group. Highly recommended.
