Husband and grand daughter had the tortellini carbonara said it was amazing Over priced Portions generous Was so cold should of had gas heaters Waitress told us there was only 2 floor staff so we will be waiting for our meals but they will try to make it not over the top so long

    Great menu range. I got an entree sized pasta and still needed to take some home! Delicious, authentic flavours, kind and personable service and a lovely vibe. Will absolutely be back.

    Surprised to note that this long established Italian eatery has new owners. The menu doesn’t seem to have changed and I enjoyed my normal favourite (CONFIT DUCK) oven baked duck leg with orange marmalade on creamy mushroom fettuccine at the same price I remember. The staff is very accommodating. But it was noisy on the night 🤷🏽
