“ Compared to many Italian restaurants in the area, this restaurant has a very good value for money. It offers a wide variety of appetizers,pizza and pasta.Although the taste is not as good as in Italy, but compared with Italian restaurants of similar price in the UK, the style and taste of the food he provides are definitely better. If you can't think of what to eat, I recommend you come here and try it. ”
“ We did not know where we could have lunch and we found L'anatra.This is an authentical Italian restaurant.We did not book a table but the worker was so friendly and she offered a table for my family ( 3 kids and two adults).They had "kid menu" but my children (x2) wanted "adult main", in this case Spagheti Carbonara.First Italian restaurant which cook with the original receipt ( with egg).The adjetive for both to decribe it " amazing". For the youngest , plain pasta ( kid menu) but it is not too big albeit for her was enought. For adults , we ordered as started burrata and homebread with olives and "alioli".I am not sure if the alioli was handmade but it was so good. Ravioli funghi highly recomend. The only one one thing that I did not like was that they offered parmesano cheese to add but it was included in our bill (they did not say that it was going to be an extra topping). Anyway, if we return to Burton on the water , we havean excellent option to enjoy a lunch with the family ”
