We came here 11 years ago and it was so amazing it's the one place we were looking forward to revisiting - and it did not disappoint!

We'll be back again and can highly recommend if you want to enjoy a true family restaurant (4 generations work here!) with authenthic cuisine and an atmosphere that works for anything from romantic dinners to kid friendly gatherings. Do not miss out...
