    Things have changed...although our waiter was pleasant and trying hard , his command of english was poor, the restaurant had 5 tables and the food was very slow to come. The pasta dishes we choose were both poor and badly cooked , the pizza was of a good standard. We realise that there are new owners and sadly the high standard that we have come to know and trust from Massimo has badly slipped .
