Awesome starters (we had calamari and arancini balls) and the meat lovers pizza was also fabulous - great selection of wine (both by the glass and bottle) as well draught beer. We were the first to arrive (at 5.30pm) but by the time we left (7.15pm) the place was pumping !

Such a lovely evening. The restaurant, mid-week was very quiet. Perfect for a catchup with musical colleagues. We both enjoyed a simple SriLankan curry. The service was warm and homely. We really enjoyed our evening.
