I went a few times to La Sirena, and it has been always a delicious encounter between Italian spirit and great food.
I love their pizzas (especially the Capriciosa) and the lasagna, and the Tiramisu is marvellous.

Overall, it was one of the more enjoyable meals we had over our...

The staff were friendly and attentive without being pushy or rushing us at all, they also spoke English when our broken french failed us.
The menu was large with something for everyone, but everything was cooked well.
The atmosphere was nice, we sat inside but big windows meant it felt like outside, bit with less noise and dust and no issues with wind blowing stuff away.
The loos were downstairs, and were clean. There was also stairs inside the restaurant.
We felt we had a nice meal for good value, I would be happy to...
