In this tiny unassuming Cafe from the outside, I DID NOT EXPECT TO COME HERE AND BE HIT OVER THE HEAD WITH THIS LEVEL OF FOOD. Seriously, the seafood risotto was the best risotto I've ever eaten, and I ate my way through a lot of risotto in Italy.

I had just finished a night shift so wouldn’t have felt comfortable to go downstairs in my pjamas if I had been able to hear her - on the other had, the driver was fully dressed a working part of a shift, there’s a lift so it was very easy to come upstairs.
