Amazing experience as always! The four of us really enjoyed our dinner, and we were all very happy with our choices. The pasta is beautifully prepared, and the fig salad was out of this world. I honestly could eat it every day! And a special mention to the tiramisu: I highly recommend it! It's an absolute must and an essential part of the experience. Don't leave without trying it! I also want to highlight the incredible service. I don't think I've ever visited this restaurant without being greeted by someone with a smile or someone willing to help. The whole team is genuinely lovely, welcoming and attentive. It really makes the experience even more special. Thank you for always making us feel so welcome!

We ate around 6pm it was busy but not noisy, we had a booth by the door so that might have helped. The food was delicious and there was plenty. The service was fab, all the staff were so friendly and checked on us regularly. We defo recommend for a bar vibe dining experience with cracking burgers.

An earlier booking was cancelled. They were forced to close for two weeks to replace pipes or something. Guys you can’t give one star if the restaurant is closed. You are surely only in a position to rate it when you eat the food. Anyway I tried again when they reopened. I was a bit nervous because my daughter is vegan but I was told they would accommodate her. Wow. She got this fluffy aubergine spread that I couldn’t stop eating with lovely homemade bread which I got too with lovely plump prawns. Then she had a sort of a stroganoff which was also delicious. I had the Pollo Alla Cacciatore. Delicious. The truffle and Parmesan chips are a must. The wine menu was decent. All in all I was very glad I gave it a go and will certainly return
