We were seated outside, which was lovely, but there was no service at all. So this meant we had to keep going inside to order a wine or our food. That was a bit disappointing.

Food was amazing as always but disappointed to see that we were charged for the chilli and Parmesan cheese that we requested to have with our pasta and even a charge for bread. Most Italian restaurants provide all 3 free of charge.

I ordered the Eggs Benny that came with pulled pork. Interesting combination. I did not enjoy it at all. The bread was hard to cut, there was way too much pulled pork and just a drizzle of the hollandaise sauce. Disappointing considering it cost $27. I don’t think I’ll be returning.
