Always a lovely time here. Been here twice and the pizza is always on point! Delicious crust and flavour. They may have a small menu for drinks but they’re all made super well! Had the hot chocolate and it’s one of the best on the island, none of fake syrup or powder taste! You have to have a gelato after as well! The banana lemon crumble was so good but it is on the sweeter side, wouldn’t mind if they reduce the sweetness. Highly recommend popping in!

Every stop I have made here has been Epic! Good things take time so don’t be rushed ~ great coffee, delicious gelato, fantastic flavour combos for their pizza and sandwiches…. The desserts continue to tempt me, I’m sure I’ll break down soon! So many delicious grocery items and knowledgeable staff when I find myself looking at jars of incredible flavours! The staff are amazing and I am grateful to have such an awesome house of flavours so close to home.

We thoroughly enjoyed the friendly nature of the young man serving us. He made us a wicked hot chocolate and delicious hot coffee which we took to our table. Then a young chef, proud of his creation brought us a refreshing caprese salad and a delightful Diabalo panini. We sat and enjoyed our lunch immensely. Food and service were so good – I made a point of telling them that they were top notch and truly went beyond our expectations. Only reason I took away a star is because of the way these two hard working lads were treated by the management. After we ate our food I went to the counter to order 2 gelatos. A lady was helping and I mentioned how amazed we were at the food and service. She took that with a smile, took my money and then we walked to the gelato display of about 8 flavours. We chose our gelatos but felt rather ‘regimented’ as she served us. We took our gelatos, sat down and didn’t really think too much about this until a few minutes later when the same lady/manager made a point of bringing out the first young lad that served us and berated him for how he had been scooping the gelato. He was apologetic and took the scolding in stride. Now I understand she may have been doing this as a means of ‘quality control’ – but it should be done with more grace and not directly in front of customers. They both went back into the kitchen until the lady returned again, but this time with the other worker. Same berating attitude in front of customers and this time, the employee looked rather humbled and embarrassed. Unfortunately, it took the high end polish off the amazing experience we were having and tarnished it with a poor management style as it really killed the atmosphere! We will probably come back again as perhaps she was having a bad day? I hope so… as those two lads did an incredible job and did not deserve being publicly shamed.

AMAZING customer service!!
I recently saw that The Grove has gluten free items, so I decided to take a look and found a wonderful selection of items to choose from, some I haven’t seen before.
The young gentleman who was working the cash register saw my gluten free items and said he would go wash up first, as he was working with flour (gluten) before touching my items. Absolutely amazing and thoughtful! It was a very much appreciated extra step in his work day. I give him and The Grove a 10/10

Thank you Laura and team!! We had exceptional gluten free food catered for our daughter’s bridal shower. The meat lasagna, arugula caprese salad, and dessert platter were all outstanding!! Everyone LOVED the food-it was truly exceptional and we were thrilled to have had Grove Hall Farm Italian Kitchen cater this event for our daughter’s special day! Fantastic food and service!!

This is a great place for gelato as well as a host of other Italian foods. I’ll admit though, the highlight was the gelato…lots of options, enough to satisfy 10 tired and hungry cyclists. Lots of parking and patio/pick-nick tables available. Would highly recommend – will return with a car to load up on salami.

Best hot chocolate I’ve had since my last trip to Europe. My wife loved her chai and my daughter said coffee was outstanding. Our pizza was excellent.

What a hidden gem, exceptional quality assortment of pure bliss Italian goods with local raised meats. Wish we could have had the opportunity to stop here on the beginning of our trip. Owner was very friendly and knowledgeable. Totally impressed with the variety of pasta’s and sauces, gelato, bakery goods. Don’t pass up the opportunity to stop by and indulge.

We had the vegetarian pizza, and gelato. The pizza was plenty for 2 people and was delicious! The fresh arugula and grated parmesan on top made it extra special. There’s a gluten-free option too.
The people who work there were delightful, friendly and helpful.
And don’t miss the gelato! Oh my! (There’s also dairy-free sorbet.)
We sat on the deck. The metal chairs aren’t the most comfortable and there was a lot of road noise. Next time we’ll sit at the picnic tables away from the road.
