    Very average restaurant. All ok. Nothing at all to get excited about. Bit tired and scruffy. Cluttered decor.

    Lovely little place discovered quite by chance on a random walk to the shops from our hotel. Authentic Italian influence suffuses the menu with unusual ingredients and flavors. Good wine list, friendly and attentive (but not overly so) staff and just a darned good experience. We arrived hungry and left satiated. Highly recommend.
