Onda Pasta Bar

Tried this pasta bar recommended by a friend near our hotel and it did not disappoint. The pasta was freshly made, cooked perfectly, and absolutely packed with flavour. They serve great pizza too, which was a nice surprise. The ambience is perfect for both date nights and group gatherings, cozy yet lively. Service was excellent, with staff who were warm, friendly, and very welcoming. Highly recommend this spot if you’re in the area, but definitely make a reservation as it gets busy. The only thing I’d skip is the tiramisu, everything else was spot on.

I don’t know where to start! The food is absolutely incredible, it’s fresh and full of flavour without overwhelming you. The staff are incredible, they take special care to make sure you get the most out of your menu. Sit with you listen to your questions, and create a warm welcoming almost family vibe. Price wise, I think it’s amazing for what you get especially with the current climate and how much restaurants are struggling it’s very hard to get delicious and affordable food. But Onda makes that possible. Overall me and my partner agreed we had the best food we have ever tried in any restaurant and the service to match. Thank-you Onda for creating such a delicious memorable experience ❤️

Love the pasta we had spicy crab and beef ragu, the texture of the pasta was so nice, we also loved the courgette fritters, it was a perfect pair with cocktails. Services are spectacular, Ella who served our table was so kind and considerate explaining the menu throughout, and chef was so generous and sweet offering our dog a pizza treats 🩵 will definitely be back!

Excellent service and great food! From the moment I entered, I was welcomed with a smile. I was seated promptly and didn’t have to wait long to be acknowledged by the waitress. I went with the recommendations: burrata, vodka pasta, and an affogato to finish. Everything was a great choice—delicious food and wonderful service. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Lovely atmosphere. Food was sadly underwhelming. We got two of the beef shin ragu pasta and 1 nduja pizzetta to share between 2. The pasta portion is relatively small for your average adult, and there was barely any meat in the sauce. The pizzetta was the star of the show, but overpriced for a miniature pizza. Tiramisu was okay. Not bad, but I've had better. Letdown by the fact that they don't do takeaway boxes - my friend was hoping to take leftovers away but ended up having to force finishing the pasta. I would probably have given 3-3.5 stars on the day, but this has now gone down to 1. I realised after checking my bank statement that I have been charged £30 more than what I was due (waitress likely mistyped on card machine as my friend got charged the correct half of the bill). Emailed the restaurant (Thursday morning) to ask for a refund and got an automated email saying that I'd be getting a response within 48hours. Four days later (Sunday night), still no response and now the restaurant won't be open for another 2 days. There is no contact number available either which means I'll have to physically go back there to get this sorted swiftly. Awful customer service. I understand it's a small business, but don't set out expectations you can't meet in terms of response times. I'd be fuming if I wasn't relatively local and had no way of getting back to the restaurant. Worth considering providing a number for people to be able to have an actual conversation with a human being instead of relying on emails that will likely be forgotten at the bottom of the inbox. After I get my refund, will absolutely not be coming back.

Joanna our server from start to end was super warm and welcoming. All the food from the starter to the dessert it was all out of the world. I am definitely coming back for more. It was my birthday today and I had a splendid time. Thank you once again for the amazing service. Shout out to Joanna for being incredible and really friendly whilst kindly wishing me a happy birthday too ❤️

Really enjoyed our visit! The atmosphere is nice and laid-back, and the food was absolutely delicious. Would definitely recommend the pumpkin fritte for a starter, was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. The restaurant is designed for sharing, so we had two pastas and a pizza between us, which worked really well. Prices are reasonable and the staff were lovely, taking the time to explain the menu. We had to book well in advance to get a table on a Thursday evening, they do take walk-ins, but were telling people it would be about an hour’s wait. Definitely worth it though, we’ll definitely be back!

I came here because I had heard of the Tirimisu drawer and I love tirimisu... Firstly the service was impeccable, absolutely delightful waitress who made a fuss of my son which was lovely. The focaccia with the different butters was really tasty, but extremely filling, maybe better with more than just 1 adult and a child sharing 😅 The kids pizza was really tasty and my son really enjoyed that, the fettuccine was a bit poor for the price, wouldn't get that again. Finally the thing I came for, the Tirimisu...it certainly looked the part and my son enjoyed it, but I personally enjoy the hit of alcohol that you get when eating it (I'm not a drinker, but I appreciate that flavour in my tirimisu). Overall with a well deserved tip, I spent £50 for the 2 of us. I'd probably go again, but maybe just for the pizza...
