    Started with a variety of aged parm cheeses and honey followed by a smoked fish and pasta dish and the signature bolognese. Could have used a bit more fish - because it was sooo delicious. Topped off this wonderful meal with a shared tiramisu. Wish we ordered two. A lovely Italian experience in Dublin.

    We were seated downstairs in the basement and had a fantastic evening with Kevin as our server. We started with the charcuterie which was delicious. I had the strozzapreti with beef cheek and it was incredible. The pasta was fresh and the meat was super tender. Overall we had a great experience!
