Really relaxing – great atmosphere and excellent food – didn’t feel rushed or anything – recommend for night out with friends! Prices to suit every pocket – what’s not to like?

Picassos is a great place to go out to meet up with friends for a little get together, or to eat out as a family on a special occasion. I often go here for a night out with a group of friends, as the staff are very friendly, and the prices are great for school students like me. £7.95 for starter, pizza or pasta and coffee or ice cream is ideal, being available all night monday and tuesday, and from 5:00 – 6:30 every other night. Definitely would reccomend the Bruschetta for starters, i love the pastas like Matriciana with the tomato and bacon. Equally, for a litlle bit extra, the desserts are great. Love the restaurant, i agree with Colleen, what’s not to like?

Great family orientated where you are treated as an individual and not just a customer. Great food to suit all ranges of taste and budget and always served in a friendly manner. Colouring competitions to keep the kids happy and no rush for you to finish.
Wonderful staff and fantastic quality food. If its good enough for Zoe Tyler (Fame Academy and Loose Women fame) its good enough for me!

Just had a lovely lunch at Picasso’s with a friend.
I must say the welcome was very warm, and the service was perfect! The manageress came over after a few minutes with colouring in and crayons, and was lovely to the children.
In my experience it is a lovely family friendly place, I will be back!

Food is always good at Picassos, staff are brilliant and I know from my own (ahem… drunken) experience very tolerant!
Would recommend to anyone!
Wine selection is good and the management know how to recommend a good one!
Very reasonably priced too!

Me and my family have been visiting Picasso’s for many years now. We have always found all staff reallly friendly and welcoming especially towards my 8 year old son, this is his favourite restaurant. The food is of very good quality and at a very good price and the house wines are also reasonably priced. Well done Picasso’s keep up the good work!!

Just been to Picasso’s for a birthday meal for my 8 year old daughter. The staff couldn’t have been more friendly and accepting of children, in fact there was another large party in with a table of approx 8 children all sitting together.

We told the staff that it was our daughter’s birthday and when they served her her dessert they turned down the lights, played happy birthday through the speakers and three of the waiters/waitresses sang Happy Birthday to her.

We had her 4 year old brother with us and as soon as we were sat at the table a poster and colouring crayons were brought over to keep them both entertained.

The food was incredible, I have not been for over 6 years, so it is now under new ownership and can definitely say that the food is a good now as it was then.

I can’t see how this place has had bad reviews as above, as I can’t recommend this place highly enough.

Definitely a nice friendly Italian Restaurant, well worth a visit.

My family and I have been to Picasso’s many times over the years and I have always, yes always, found the food, staff and the ambience to be most enjoyable, in fact I would suggest that in terms of a really good night at the coast, this establishment will not be surpassed.

My family and I have been to Picasso’s on a regular basis for the last 10years and we have never had a negative experience. Also, we’re not ‘known’ and not friends with the owners, but we still get a very warm welcome.
We are going this Saturday to celebrate my parents joint 60th Birthday.
The food is lovely, and most certainly not overpriced at all.
The staff are very friendly, and warm and make you feel welcome from the moment you step in the door.

We will continue to go for at least another 10 years!

I go regularly to Picasso’s with my family and my friends and have been going regularly since we moved to the area 8 years ago. The staff have always been so delightful, even when our children were tiny. All of our birthdays (children and adult!) are celebrated at Picasso’s even if the party has been elsewhere; that is how lovely the place and the staff are! I would recommend it to anyone!

Picasso’s is rather lush. A lovely little oasis of warmth and tranquility. Smashing grub too.

Thank you.

Many thanks to all the staff at Picassos who went the extra mile to make our daughters 15th birthday celebration go so well.
We had a table of 16 teenagers (and a table of 5 not so young!) The meal was good and excellent value at £6.95 a head.
