Good value, informal neighbourhood restaurant run by a young, passionate team. The food is a real home cooked offering, accompanied by a reasonably price, well selected set of wines. Every mouthful is delicious, making it hard to choose from the small menu. The ragu was superb. You could taste the quality of the ingredients. Same with hot chocolate pot dessert. No fuss, no pretence. I'll definately be a regular here.
