4.7 / 5.0(1,290 reviews)
We had an amazing dinner here 😋 We got the Pear & Gorgonzola insalate, Vegetarian Feast pizza, and Ragu di Agnello. The homemade fresh pasta was so good! Portions were very generous. We also tried the Limocello Spritz, which was good. Tiramisu was yummy too! The service was very friendly. Our server Giulia was attentive and nice. We sat upstairs and I loved the different lampshades used as decor. Very quirky and cozy! We can't wait to go back and try more delicious foods from here!! 🤩 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A True Italian Gem! Woodlands Eatery is an absolute delight — 5-star food in a warm and welcoming setting. Set in a lovely old house, the restaurant exudes the charm of an authentic Italian home and kitchen. The atmosphere is cozy, inviting, and full of character. Matteo and Mizio are the heart of the place — hands-on, passionate, and always engaging personally with guests, which adds a truly special touch to the dining experience. The wine tastings are not only well-curated but also great value for money. Every visit feels like a treat, and I will definitely be returning. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a genuine Italian experience. Bravo! Loved this restaurant!! The food was absolutely delicious and the service friendly and efficient. Food portions are generous - I thought I would take a doggie bag home but the food was sooooo good I finished the entire meal 😅😂

After spending 24 hours cramped in an airplane we didn't have the energy to find some local food so we opted for a small Italian restaurant a short walk from our hotel. The staff was friendly and sat us even though we didn't have a reservation on a Saturday night. We tried the fried mozzarella, focaccia with garlic and feta, Bolognese, and lamb ragu. All of the food was well seasoned and the pasta well cooked. The girls next to us tried a couple pizzas that looked good as well. To top it off, the whole bill was under $60 USD with the tip. We hope to try a few more places across the city, however we would definitely eat another meal here.

Went on a Sunday and we had a super lunch and great cocktails. It was quiet but was exactly what we wanted. Would definitely recommend. Food was excellent.
