A really great experience. The food was amazing (especially the tuna steak and octopus ragu), the staff very friendly and helpful and the atmosphere was relaxed and not hurried. The chef is from Sardinia, so a decent part of the menu has a local twist, with some great home made pasta (fettuccine and culurgiones) and real Sardinian products such as the truffle that is grated directly onto your fettuccine. They hit a great balance with portion sizes too, though this might be a very subjective point, big enough to let you dive into each dish discovering its nuances and toleave you satisfied at the end of the meal, but small enough to let you appreciate every course without stuffing you.

The chef also came out to check on us (and other diners) multiple times, which is a nice touch and shows pride in their work.

The wine selection is quite decent and has something for most tastes and pockets.

Definitely a place to...

The food is phenomenal and clearly very high quality. I especially love the panna cotta. It is such a delight to come here and to have a place that my partner and I can...
