This was our first visit and it didn’t disappoint. The decor is very classy and there are lovely finishing touches like the beautiful water carafes and elegant menu covers. The food is to die for and very reasonably priced. I’ve just found my new favourite place.

We had the share board, the nut dukkah was amazing and the house made pickle veg helped cut through the fat in the meats. The spicy paste ball was incredible and nothing like I had before. The 10 yr old really enjoyed the kids pasta.

Our first visit to this relatively new breakfast/lunch venue. Greeting and seating was friendly and professional and the environment bright and well laid out. Service was timely and there was a good selection. The goat ragu papardella was excellent. The foccaccia was also very good though the bread itself was a bit tough. Coffee was good . The cannolo dessert was very rich and a bit overly buttery rather than the traditional ricotta or custard based filling. All in all, a good lunch experience in a handy spot.

The menu and food looked delicious - I was on a presurgery restrictive diet so an egg on toast was a safe option. Definitely be back to try something more delicious.

The food was beautifully presented and tasted delicious. The wait staff were extremely polite and efficient. The only drawback for me is that you can’t book over the telephone.

Had lunch with friends from Melbourne. We all loved the food. Friend who had the gnocchi said it was delicious but it was a little gritty (beet leaves need to be washed better. Friend who had the mushrooms (a vegetarian) said it was delicious. I had the chicken and it was also very good. Noise has been an issue on my previous visits however it was better this visit. Still a bit noisy but not prohibitively so. An all round lovely lunch in a really pleasant atmosphere. Service was fabulous. Thankyou very much to all.
