This was our third time at the restaurant and with the new owner/chef at the helm. We Absolutely loved the whole experience. the staff made sure my dietary needs were not only covered but absolutely delicious. The service was attentive and brilliant. It was so relaxing we didn’t even realise we spent over 3 hours enjoying fine food and wine, ambience and conversation. LOVED it. A Neighbourhood gem.

A great dining experience with the Standard Set Menu (which varies over the weeks) An enjoyable way to dine out where fresh is guaranteed being a small cosy Restuarant and the menu is delivered to all diners unless you have a special dietary requirement. Great selection of wines also available

Food was delicious and interesting. Venue is lovely, service was great. Choosing wine was a bit confusing, hard to read on the mirror. Really enjoyable experience.

This place gives you the most legit, personalized Italian experience! They’ll serve a different main dish for their $75pp set menu, and you don’t find out what it is until you sit down ✨ Normally, we are the type who likes to see the menu before deciding to go, but we thought this would be fun and a cool surprise on our date night! It’s definitely a unique experience with some seriously high-quality seasonal ingredients and traditional cooking techniques that created some amazing textures and flavours We asked for no red meat on our booking, (they cater to all dietary requirements) so we saw the table next to us get steak and duck as their mains Our main was charred squid with pumpkin, and wow, it was so good. The cold & hot antipasti were solid but not mind-blowing but still it was a good experience. The pasta with Italian sausage was delicious, and those baked potatoes? Absolute heaven. Talk about dessert, the tiramisu was such a good ending. i had mine with limoncello & my partner had it hazelnut liquor 🥃
