We celebrated my birthday and had the caesar, squash ravioli and prosciutto pizza, all were delicious. The cocktails were unique and really enjoyable. The atmosphere was perfect for a special night out.

Arancini was great (8/10)! Pizza was just 'ok'. Tasted fine but the centre was very soggy and difficult to eat (4.5/10).

The food was ok. It was super crowded and the server had to step on me a couple times to even get around our table. The food was also overpriced. The servers were nice and definitely tried their best.

Food didn't taste great. For a pasta and pizza place, the pasta was so overcooked that it literally broke apart as I tried to pick it up with my fork. It was also really bland and the tomato sauce was watery. The food was cold - not even a little warm. The server never came back to fill our waters, never asked how the food was or if we wanted anything else, and we had to chase someone down to get the bill at the end of the meal.
