    The food was excellent – top quality meat and perfectly cooked. The atmosphere was very pleasant, warm and well curated. Service was good, although the staff didn’t always seem fully trained. Overall, a very good evening with fair value for money.

    Another fabulous lunch (for my sister‘s birthday.) The stuffed courgette flower was extraordinary, light fluffy filling and very crisp batter. Aubergine filled tortelone were a revelation: silky soft pasta, rich and complex filling, and an amazingly fresh and light tomato sauce. The pizza had a crispy crust with a stunning sausage, wild broccoli and mozzarella filling. Unfortunately, we were so busy eating/enjoying, there are no photographs! Thanks again for another wonderful meal
