A look inside
This is where your own photos go — the pizzas coming out of the oven, the beamed room, the plates people photograph before they eat.
A family-run Italian under the old beams
Il Caminetto is a small, family-run Italian restaurant on Upper Frog Street, in the heart of old Tenby, in the building that was the Blue Ball for many years. The name means "little fireplace", and the room suits it — an old building with exposed roof beams and not many tables, which is why regulars book ahead.
The menu runs from stone-baked pizzas and calzone to seafood pasta, ravioli and risotto, with vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options. Reviewers keep landing on the same things: generous portions, quick and friendly service, and cooking they call authentic — enough to bring a family of eleven through dinner without a single complaint.
