    Wine shop with a small kitchen/restaurant. Mostly vegetarian options on regular menu, daily specials tend to contain meat (lasagne, braised ox cheek, when we went). We struggled to get waiter's attention - despite there being three of them. Portions are fairly small (particularly spinach & ricotta ravioli) but food was very tasty. I wouldn't recommend busy days/weekends as it impacts the quality of service. A really great choice of wines from around the world, but exorbitant mark-up from retail to corkage (£35 bottle to buy from shop was £62 to drink in restaurant) - but very high quality wine and decanted to avoid sediment.

    I love this local treat. I didn't realise they've been open for 2 years! Rustic, authentic Italian food with a great wine selection (try their Puglian reds!). We shared a buratta to start - a test of any true Italian establishment - and it was creamy, rich and delicious. For mains we had the monkfish and the cod - both were perfectly cooked with tasty sauces. We didn't have room for dessert, but were given a taste of the house tiramisu, compliments of the chef - and it was great! The owner was extremely friendly, as were all of those who served us - attentive, but not overbearing. It was full and lively, with lots of regular customers. I will certainly be back!
