Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19057 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19057 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17945 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17945 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14978
Everything is cooked to order by the owner Claudio (no microwave in sight!) and served in contemporary surroundings by a great team of friendly and helpful staff. The wine list is full of old favourites sourced from Italy, frascati, barola and classic chianti and is very reasonably priced. £11.90 a bottle for the sangiovese house wine.

The deserts are all homemade daily (the best tiramisu I have ever tasted!). £3 - £4 amazingly good value. Main course pastas and risottos are only £6.95, which is excellent and, to finish, an espresso so good if you close your eyes you could be in Italy!

Already booking is essential and a great idea is booking online, which offers a 10% discount - a good idea for parties. This place is a wonderful find and makes a change from the usual Italian restaurants. Do give it a try when you are visiting Scarborough, I am sure you won't be disappointed.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14978 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12081
Mirrored walls feature neon ice-cream cones and signs with the dubious advice: “Keep fit by eating ice cream every day.”

Patrons sit on red leather banquettes or on high stools at the half-moon, chrome-edged counter. Ice creams are mainly traditional – vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, banana, and lemon and blackcurrant sorbets – made from natural ingredients including Scottish seaweed instead of gelatine.

The café is a meeting place for everyone from local fishermen to playwright Alan Ayckbourne and Michael Winner, a big fan since filming scenes for A Chorus of Disapproval there.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12081 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11332 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11332 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11294 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11294
