    Comparing as we recently returned from Italy and ate amazing food for four weeks. Found the food here to be lacking in seasoning. The pork and fennel sausage had little taste and didn’t stand out nor didn’t compliment the pasta. Likewise, the Aperol Spritz was not what we experienced in Italy or at other Italian restaurants here. Will be back though.

    From the moment you walk in the atmosphere is so beautiful and you are greeted with a traditional Buona Sera, which warmed my heart immediately! Taken to our seats and offered water and a drinks menu. Then the food!!! Absolutely amazing. We shared antipasto for entrees and scallops. Then our mains, my partner thoroughly enjoyed her fresh pasta and I was over the moon with my steak. Deserts that followed were equally as good Definitely be going back to this wonderful place. Great for couples or a big group. Highly recommended.

    The food was to die for, the service was wonderful and even had a beautiful little extra service for my mums birthday that was unexpected. Can’t fault it and can’t wait to be back.

    Went for our anniversary and received a glass of champagne. A nice way to start. Food was delicious and service was excellent. A bit expensive but worth it.
