Small mistake on their part but would not stop us going back.

When we asked again later for the water they said there was no jugs. So just bring us 4 classes. My wife ordered an espresso martini and there was only half a glass of it when it came. We asked for another and the second one came all froth no actual drink. Our food came before all our drinks arrived. I had to ask them again for my drink. And again we had to ask for water and when it came there was only 2 glasses yet four of us seated. There was no pepper in either of the pepper grinders on the table, so again we had to ask for that. Yet the food came rapido, like they were trying to get people in and out on a conveyor belt. Really disappointing as we’d been before and had a lovely experience

The service was very quick and efficient but we didn’t feel rushed at all. The restaurant is very well placed near the Palladium where we were going after our meal. The food was delicious. Can definitely recommend the Italian Burger and the Pizza.
