My daughter and I are visiting and found this delightful gem. So glad we made a reservation last night. It’s a small space but really nice atmosphere. Small bar and a few tables. Lovely menu and service. We started with a wonderful tomato and peach salad. Delicious and so unique. I had the mushroom ravioli which was perfect - perfect meal! My daughter had an amazing risotto with zucchini and prawns. Very light and plenty to bring home. Also order the warm focaccia bread. Friendly and great service from Pooja.

After being recommended the West Room several times, we were keen to try out this Venetian concept. We had an Itison voucher which was good value for a first visit - more in this later and I’ve a mind to write to Joanna from the Guardian Food. I booked through OpenTable to ensure I got one of the tables at the back. This booking was cancelled without reason. I rebooked but only had a high table option. Suck it and see I thought. I’m just over 5ft so getting on and off a high stool is not the most dignified of experiences but as we had a teenager-free day, I persevered. *spoiler alert - it was not dignified getting down, my partner found this hilarious. Service was fab and the waitress couldn’t have been lovelier. Top marks! Food - a huge let down. We had 2 courses - both had the nduja arancini which was overpowered by the sauce and missing nduja in 75% of the portions. A bit stodgy also but that happened with deep fried rice. We ordered the bread basket with oil and vinegar alongside because carbs - why not? While a generous portion, I wouldn’t like to guess how old the various toasted and fried breads were but were perhaps the driest of carbs I’ve ever had. The waitress kindly brought more oil. The oil was tasteless and the balsamic was that thick stuff from a wholesaler. The mains - I had the broad bean, courgette orzo. The courgette was huge lumps in contrast to the other ingredients and not fried off or seasoned so was bitter. Can’t remember what the sauce was but I left 3/4 of it. Likely because the delicious wine (very recommend the Pecorino) I was having was reconstituting the dried bread in my stomach. My partners pizzetta was swamped with caramelised onions and thick balsamic making it taste like BBQ bacon. He ate it, because he’s tight but complained throughout affecting my dining experience. I really hope this was an off day. I’m glad we didn’t pay full price. We won’t be back though and I’d recommend freshening up the toilet decor too.

Such a gem of a place. So happy we found it on our recent trip to Edinburgh. The cauliflower dip with the croquets was delicious and the truffle fries so moreish. Loved the small plates and cocktails. Highly recommend.

Great selection of different sized dishes to share or not - all extremely tasty and good value for money. Wine list reasonably priced and we had a lovely Sicilian white wine. Staff were friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. I guess the only slight grumble was the door of the restaurant was open which gives a fair bit of traffic noise and it was a little chilly, not enough for us to ask for it to be closed though. Definitely worth a visit.
