We ordered Saffron Arancini, Flat bread and Oven baked potatoes as Entree. Food was really great and tasty. Arancini probably felt bit overpriced but given its quality and taste , it was a winner. For mains we had Pumpkin risotto, Grilled veggie pizza and Gnocchi. 10 out of 10. Staff were very friendly, especially James who had a nice smile and very helpful and enthusiastic. Overall it was a great dinner. Definitely coming back. Thank you
