    Food and service was ok, however it’s very brightly lid, so not a place for a romantic candle light dinner. Also the average age of the visitor seems to be 70 years.

    Another wonderful meal with my mother and daughter. Superb service and lovely food as always. They always go out of their way to try and find us a quiet table as my mother is hard of hearing. Thank you.

    Lovely traditional busy Italian restaurant. Staff were really helpful finding us a table inside after too cold for our booking outside. Very patient when one of us was late because of train delays. Excellent food - excellent altogether
