Best Pistachio Croissant I've ever eaten! Wish I'd got two! Bargain offer at £5 for a coffee and Croissant too Coffee was a little too hot for my liking but just some advice! Definitely hit the spot with the best Italian coffee around though So glad your not just down the road from me as I'd be in everyday if so! Can't wait to try all the savoury lunches/meals!

Just popped into Ventisette Gastronomia for the first time to pick up some dinner. A meat and veg box priced at £12. All homemade. It contained hot Italian Sausage & Meatballs, chickpea and lemon salad and a pea & zucchini salad. Every part was delicious! And more than enough for 1 person. You have to try the sausages. Will definitely be going back.

Luckily, the cafe I passed by was ????????Italian-style and the coffee was delicious. The cake in the photo was lemon custard pine nut cake. They also had tiramisu and pistachio ricotta cake. I'm sick of boring English cakes, so this cafe is a hidden gem!

I haven’t tried the hot food yet but I love walking in and having a coffee once in a while. Btw they have an awards card for people who don’t know and I hope the shop lasts

Loved this little place we stumbled across. Enjoyed some refreshing drinks with a very warm welcome from the host. The food is absolutely delicious. Authentic Italian food. A small veg and meat mix box to take away was just enough for my dinner. The place was spotlessly clean too. Definitely recommend this place.

I stopped here for a mid ride coffee and was lucky to grab a vanilla creme croissant with my coffee for £5. Really friendly service in a really well appointed shop. All the home cooked food in the deli looked great too. Very pleased to have found this place and will definitely stop again! Thank you

My friend and I were absolutely blown away by this beautiful quaint eatery. The food was absolutely incredible, the service was amazing and we just felt like we were in another world in this lovely atmospheric place. Daniele and Kerri, the owners, were very attentive and caring. We will be back, it's an absolute MUST visit when passing through Goudhurst or just take the trip, it's worth it! I was spoilt for choice for a hot chocolate so many gorgeous flavours and so delicious My new favourite place!!!
