"It’s a very nice restaurant with a wide range of classic Italian dishes. We ordered the Margherita pizza, the Arizona pizza, the prawn starter, and a risotto. For dessert, everything was excellent."

"Went in without booking but was seated immediately. Given a shot glass of raspberry lemonade - nice touch. I ordered the pink grapefruit lemonade-delicious! Had the Caesar salad for main- nice but little too much dressing (for me). Tiramisu was divine with espresso/Baileys to pour over top and a great portion! Also had a double decaffeinated macchiato - good quality. Erlon, my waiter was very attentive and considering how busy it was, the food came very quickly. Would definitely recommend. Please note: there is a service charge (about 10%) put on automatically although on the bill it does say 'optional'."

The portion was just right, and the pasta was cooked perfectly. The service was great, with friendly and attentive staff who made the experience even better. The atmosphere was cozy and relaxed, making it a great spot to enjoy a meal. Would definitely come back for another comforting plate of pasta!"
