    Large menu variety of choice. Pumpkin risotto and rocket salad excellent as well as lamb shanks. Will certainly be back to try other menu items.

    We met our adult grandchildren for lunch here. It was a chilly, rainy day but inside it was warm and cosy. We all ordered different meals which were all served together and piping hot. The atmosphere was low key and friendly allowing us to enjoy a great catch up with one another. Our waiter was friendly and very obliging. We ended our meals with a lovely coffee ready to go back into the weather!

    Unfortunately the restaurant was short of staff the day we visited and ordering food and drinks was slow. We were a large group and most meals were underwhelming.

    The worst dining ever. Food was discussing. Ordered braised lamb and got a chargrilled something??? Tasteless. Service was horrible and not snail slow. Other customers were walking out for not having their meals after an hour. We thought we will stick it out just to see how bad can it get. For a restaurant on Valentine's day ?? Come on, you know this day is on every year. Advertising Italian cuisine but doubt if they even know was spaghetti is. Just don't go there unless you are a masochist that enjoys suffering.

    Food and ambience was nice. Monday night is the perfect time to enjoy a nice quiet dinner in Williamstown! Only complaint is the restaurant forgot Napoli sauce on the Chicken Parmigiana.
