Went there on a quiet Sunday night and it felt like time stood still, (in a positive way). A calm feeling washed over us and we enjoyed the incredibly fresh food, with great flavour. Despite eating an entree and a main, the food did not leave us feeling too full and that is the sign of good Italian.
The food was exquisite, with fresh ingredients, cooked to perfection. The bread, cooked in house and accompanied by fabulous warm oil, was warm and crusty. The meals were beautifully presented and our waiter was efficient, charming and helpful. We will certainly be returning as this restaurant eclipses others we have been patronising.
Great service and food. The gnocchi was delicious and our server was able to recommend a great wine. Will be back for sure to try the rest of the menu
