We had the Tutto Bene with the addition of half a dozen oysters. Everything was magnificent. The service was warm and friendly, and because we go there twice a year, the owner and his son have been able to recognise us and we are welcomed. The food is imaginative and very tasty, and the wine selection is great, with something for every taste and budget.

Food was excellent. Some of the wait staff were inexperienced - basically filled one wine glass with the last 1/4 from the bottle ensuring we had to purchase another bottle for the remaining guests.
