A really beautiful experience in every way. Beautiful service, tables not too close together, ambience just perfect, food was scrumptious, traditional, not over the top, not too try hard, just perfect. We had such a lovely Christmas lunch and for the price even better! Love to pay our money to privately owned family business too. Well done Il Duca, we will be back sooner than later.
