Sourcing only the finest Italian products available, we have created a reminiscence of European street dining. Wind down your afternoon in style with our incredible Neapolitan pizzas, pastas and some of our classic cocktails. Ariel is a dedication to the simple elegance of Italian cuisine and while we may not be traditional, we pay homage to what it means to eat a good meal with good people.

    We had a great first time, was quite busy, service was slow so avoided starters and jumped straight into mains. Food👌

    Hi Deidre, thank you for visiting us and for taking the time to leave a review! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the food on your first visit - that means a lot to us.

    Lamb ragu incredible, mushrooms linguine was cold and not flavoured enough. But I love the restaurant. Staff is incredible .

However, we're sorry to hear that one of your dishes didn’t meet your expectations. A gentle reminder that you can always speak to a manager on duty if you have any concerns during your visit. This allows us to address any issues immediately and ensure a satisfying experience. We will, however, share your feedback with our chef to review and act upon accordingly. We appreciate your visit and look forward to welcoming you back soon!

    Really enjoyed lunch there. Had pizza which was exceptional… perfect dough/rust. Nice ambience which feels inviting. Although I personally didn’t taste the pasta, it looked authentic and delicious.

    Service was again excellent. Food was - this time - not great. Not much taste and not really on the right temperature.
