    Theme of the visit: walking about 10 miles a day, forgetting to eat other than some cream tea for…read morebreakfast, realizing at 8pm that we're starving and no one is serving food anymore. That's how we found Prezzo. My goal for my visit was pretty much just to eat pub food, but when you're starving, you just have to acquiesce to eating what you can find. We came in around 8pm, and I think only one other table was occupied. We chose a seat outside, and I got a glass of wine to eat with my pasta. But the food here? Delicious! I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and taste, and I probably needed those carbs after the amount of walking we'd been doing up until that point. PROS: -Open later than almost any other place we'd been to. Which makes it perfect for Americans who find that they're hungry after 6pm. -Delicious, fresh food. -Polite, courteous staff. CONS: -None! THE VERDICT: Delicious food, impeccable service. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal here, and would definitely recommend this place. I THINK I got the Penne Alla Rusticana, because it sounds about right... Seasoned chicken, pancetta, peppers and rosemary, in a creamy pomodoro sause. It was definitely a penne dish with red sauce and peppers, and while I would have preffered British food, this really hit the spot.

    We ordered risotto and la Milano pizza. Also an bottle of beer without alcohol. All nice. Highly…read morerecommended. It is located near Newport bus station so very convenient as a choice of lunch.

    We came here for Sunday lunch. The weather was picture perfect, so we could sit outside. With the…read moreviews of the ocean and boats, I was almost in mind of a post card. The food could best be described as continental. I enjoyed my tomato and mozzarella bruschetta. I also nabbed a couple of my aunt's french fries (aka chips) which were delicious (side note: whatever they do in England to cook their chips so perfectly needs to be exported, stat). Wine selections by the glass and bottle were also solid; we ordered a bottle of sauvignon blanc to share. The only discordant note was the cloud of thunderbugs swarming around during the meal--by the time we were wrapping it up, they were even in our hair and staking out the remains of our dishes. Matters might have improved had there been lit candles or some other deterrent in evidence, sadly this was not the case. We opted to move inside for coffee just to get away from the swarms. When we entered the restaurant, we saw that quite a few tables were open. This was puzzling, as it was made clear that no indoor seating was available for the time that we reserved, which was why we sat outside in the first place. Service also could have been a bit faster, but it was, after all, Sunday lunch.

    Difficult to fault this place. Scenic location, attentive and attractive staff, superb menu…read more Breakfast and dinner both really delicious and wonderfully presented. Can't wait to go again!

    The Garlic Farm is a classic Isle of Wight experience (albeit I don't think much garlic is actually…read moregrown on the farm or even the island) which is consistently enjoyable. A couple of times I've even got to watch red squirrels eat while I dined. The chowder is really good - huge mussels and I recommend the smoked garlic bulb to start it's a real mix of flavours. Chicken caesar salad also goes down well. My son ate his whole meal (garlic sausage and wedges with baked beans) with real enjoyment. The bloody mary with black garlic vodka is sweeter than my preference but they brought out the vampire slayer hot sauve which balanced thar out and gave a massive kick! Some horseradish would make it even better. Children will enjoy the play equipment and fancy chickens and it's also fun to try all the samples in the farm shop. I'm a big fan of the garlic mayo.

    I can still smell the garlic. And guess what - its not a bad thing ;)…read more So we biked up a long road to get there - uphill on a very sunny day and in the back of mind amidst the sweat I thought - this had better be worth it. And I have to say - it was! You are introduced to a variety of garlic spiced flavours, garlic horseradish, garlic mustard, garlic mayo, garlic pickles - you get the idea! They grow some of the most intriguing garlic you will ever see, white , brown and even black. We tried the famous black garlic ice cream and it wasn't bad ! There was also a young gent selling garlic flavoured corn on the cob which was equally if not more delicious. You can pick up some great gifts here and most friends am sure would love garlic seasoned jars or sauces :) they can last a while and quite inexpensive. Anyone visiting the Isle of Wight this is a must go !!
