Our experience with Little Italy restaurant DFDS

The at Little Italy restaurant DFDS includes a selection of freshly made pizzas, pasta dishes, salads, and desserts. The pizzas are generally well-made, with a crispy thin crust and decent toppings, though they might not rival an authentic Italian pizzeria. The pasta dishes are good, though some can feel a bit basic or lacking in seasoning. Portion sizes are reasonable, making it a good choice for both light and hearty eaters.

Service is usually quick and friendly, and the restaurant has a relaxed atmosphere. It can get busy during peak dining hours, but the staff keeps things running smoothly. The pricing is fair for a ferry restaurant, though not necessarily a budget option.

One of the highlights is the setting—if you get a window seat, you can enjoy your meal with great sea views. It's a nice spot for a casual meal without the formality of some of the other onboard dining options.

Verdict: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5)
A solid choice for a casual Italian meal with good pizzas and a relaxed atmosphere. Some dishes could use a bit more flavor, but overall, it's a convenient and enjoyable dining option on DFDS.
