I rate very highly the experience of my daughter's wedding ceòabration at Ombra. A friendly, cosy restaurant, almost unassuming, but the food was superb, certainly much better than at most wedding parties. We had an octopus salad as a starter, followed by courgette flowers, then a pasta dish with an exquisite fish sauce. I am not a pasta eater, yet I loved their dish, whose sauce was based on minced fish that beautifully blended with the tomato sauce. The main course was mullet -sarago in Italian- a very tasty white fish, cooked in a chinotto sauce. Delicious. The staff, all young and friendly, were very flexible , prompt and helpful. I highly recommend Ombra, the intimate atmosphere is suitable for events and gatherings of up to 40 people. Thank you, Alessandro, I loved your cooking style.

Heartfelt thanks to the entire OMBRA team!! Our wedding reception (with over 50 guests) was an incredible success: delicious and well-presented food, friendly service, attention to dietary requirements, lovely decor and atmosphere, and flexibility in adapting to our needs. We had a perfect day and OMBRA was the ideal venue for it. Chef Alessandro's fish ragù was a particular hit, and our numerous Italian guests even told us they found the food BETTER (!!!) than at many Italian weddings they'd been to. The ultimate compliment. Grazie, ragazzi!

We had the most wonderful Sunday lunch at Ombra. From the first snack through to dessert, every dish was authentic, beautifully prepared, and bursting with flavour — true Italian cooking at its best. The girolle mushroom tagliolini was delicate and full of depth, the monkfish main was perfectly cooked and full of flavour, and the apricot, mint and yoghurt dessert was a refreshing finish. Compliments to Chef Alessandro, whose skill and passion really shone through in every plate. For drinks, we trusted our waiter Red, who paired each dish with the perfect wine recommendation. Each glass lifted the food even further, and it made the whole meal feel carefully curated. We enjoyed it all out on the sunny terrace, where the relaxed, welcoming atmosphere made it a truly memorable family lunch. Ombra delivered on every level — excellent food, thoughtful service, and a beautiful setting. We’ll definitely be back!
