About Balboa Italian

Where have you been all my life
Wow! What an amazing dining experience. Each an every staff member were on point all night , always smiling, happy and so quick. Table service was outstanding and front of house was lovely, all which seem to be harder to come across when dining these days so a credit to all as it does make or break a dining experience. THE FOOD , simply amazing! We had the fettuccine ai Gamberi with chilli , garlic,tomato, parsley, prawns , squid ink and lobster essence . The pasta & Flavour was amazing and the Carnivore pizza packed full of flavour with generous toppings and a super light base . Highly recommend

Wonderful Sunday Lunch!
We went as a group of four for Sunday lunch over the weekend and we had a fantastic time. Great value for money and the gluten free pizza was one of the best pizzas I've ever had! Beautiful setting and fantastic service.

We didn't have a booking on Mother's Day lunch but they made space for our little party, we have a couple of dishes and a couple of cocktails. The staff we all very welcoming and friendly and the food was great. They also had the best gluten free pizzas EVER and boy have I tried a few. Will definately be returning.
