    My daughter and I are visiting and found this delightful gem. So glad we made a reservation last night. It’s a small space but really nice atmosphere. Small bar and a few tables. Lovely menu and service. We started with a wonderful tomato and peach salad. Delicious and so unique. I had the mushroom ravioli which was perfect - perfect meal! My daughter had an amazing risotto with zucchini and prawns. Very light and plenty to bring home. Also order the warm focaccia bread. Friendly and great service from Pooja.
