    From the moment we walked in and were greeted by the lovely Amy we knew we’d be in for a treat. We had the sublime focaccia (yes, who knew focaccia could make you swoon?) accompanied by the mortadella platter, the lamb shoulder (melt in your mouth), smashed fried potatoes (yum!) and to finish, the ricotta donuts (more swooning). The service from all the staff was genuinely warm, attentive and helpful. What a top spot! Can’t wait to go back!

    Bookings essential during busy periods (such as school holidays). This is a great venue for a reliable meal, and the dinner menu structure (2 or 3 courses for a set price) certainly made things easy. There were a couple of slow points where I think the kitchen was struggling with the volume of orders but generally speaking it was a timely meal. Everything we had was delicious, with stand-out picks being the Arancini, the Chargrilled Ribeye, and the Doughnuts for dessert. A great selection of beers brewed in-house as well as some local picks. Service was lovely, especially for what was clearly a very busy night!
