    Food was fine but took an hour to be served, by which time we had lost our appetites. No fault of the waiter, who frequently apologised. Table was next to the road, so ambience was constant traffic and diesel fumes. Not a great experience.

    Guys, well done. It was a pleasant surprise to have someone filling my glass without asking. Well done!

    Lovely place, great service - but food doesn’t live up to the promise of great Italian food. Overcooked prawns & boring salcicia

    A great restaurant to visit. Good food and service. I had the Carpaccio starter and the Siciliana Pizza. Sat in the open air piazza. The only issue was the brown resin-looking residue on all our chairs - possibly from the tree above us. Would definitely stain our clothes had I not noticed it. Our waiter happily wiped the chairs for us.
