    Food, service and atmosphere on point! Enjoyed a lovely Mothers Day meal here with my family and will definitely return. Menu is easy to follow with many small plates to try different foods. We shared 2 pasta items between the 2 of us as well as 2 small plates and we were quite satisfied. Staff were very welcoming and hospitable. The venue itself is relaxed and understated. Not too many tables so the noise level was perfect. Thank you for having us :)

    Reliably excellent. All of the dishes including the special of the day prawn toast and my favourite prawn spaghetti are much more complex than simple pasta. Staff are always lovely and helpful. Glad to see it was buzzing on Friday night.

    What a delight! Fresh pasta, beautiful ambiance, friendly waitstaff. The menu is thoughtfully put together, and our request for a dietary amendment was no problem for them. Also to be applauded was the serving sizes - just the right size to fit in dessert without feeling like you'd overindulged. The whole dining experience was a 10 / 10.

    Food was good as usual. Prawn bisque spaghetti is a winner. The $29 lunch deal is fantastic value given food quality. Personal service was unbeatable. I really like this bright airy restaurant for lunch.
