About

Our Italian restaurant is located in the heart of Torbay, in the delightful seaside town of Paignton in Devon.

QUO VADIS...family run restaurant for over 30 years by owner chef Michele Ruocco and wife Wendy. Lovely retro cuisine specialising in well liked classic dishes.

Our menu has been created using dishes that carry a classic memory, mainly from the sixties and seventies. Michele at that time was working here in Torbay and using his flambéing skills in ‘a la carte’ restaurants.

Before making the decision to buy our own restaurant Michele had spent six years working at ‘Vergines’ a very avant-garde nightclub and high class restaurant with a good reputation for fine dining.

The choices on our menu are tried and tested classics, so please take a look and see for yourself the  favourites. For our younger diners its a great way to try food a little unfamiliar .

We also pride ourselves on being able to adapt on the night for individual palates – leaving out or adding more ‘garlic’ or ‘chilli’ for example!

We are fully allergy aware and will happily advise or discuss individual requirements.
