    My wife and I went to this restaurant to celebrate our anniversary. We will never return to this establishment. We had uninterested and very slow service. One staff member was wearing the shirt of another business. The food was inedible. The staff continued to disappear multiple times throughout the evening for long periods of time. Our main meal plates weren't cleared from the table even after sitting uneaten. After bringing this to the attention of the staff, he continued to laugh about my comments until I enforced how awful everything was. I emailed the restaurant with the provided business card and still I didnt receive any contact.

    Since change of management the choices on the menu are greater. The standard of food was excellent. They are dog friendly and I would recommend it

    Lovely restaurant and the food was nice. Not sure that the Gnocchi is homemade, but still nice. One of the waitresses was friendly and happy ... It makes all the difference to have good service.

    Lack of flavour with the meatball sauce that two of us had for dinner, it really needed some herbs and seasoning. Roast potatoes were hard and white (way undercooked) so they were inedible. Husband said his steak wasn’t great. We found it hard to get servers attention to order more drinks. Personally I would think the website is misleading as it definitely didn’t feel like an authentic Italian restaurant.

    I don’t think they know what Italian food is. Our dishes were bland and a very poor attempt at what they were meant to be. The staff seemed to not know what they were doing as orders were going to the wrong tables. Not to mention the kitchen lost half our order so we had to wait even longer.

    Waited nearly 2 hours!!! For our food and drinks to come out of the kitchen, table staff were trying their best, however clearly understaffed for the end of year holidays, paid top dollar for average food that was clearly frozen. Discussed all with manager and was met with "ok but it is the holidays". Will not be returning as the lack of care from managers was apparent.
