Saturday night - We booked a table for 4 to dine at 5PM. The restaurant slowly started to fill up, so much so, people were waiting for a table in the foyer/outside. You could see it two ways: it’s a popular place to dine or you feel rushed to leave to make room. Thankfully the staff didn’t make us feel this way, they were efficient and attentive (as explained below)
The food was served quickly, piping hot and delicious; ‘Penne Arabiata’ - for those who like a kick with their meal. Minus the (decoration?) chilli…. dared to try it. Painful!!! Thank you to the waiter who slid me a glass of milk. Life saver!!! ‘Spaghetti al frutti di mare’ - for the sea food lovers! Mixed sea fish & shell fish. Beautifully presented and cooked to perfection. ‘Garlic bread’ - heavenly! Full of flavour and not too heavy on the stomach. We ended up ordering another one half way through our main course.

The food was beautifully cooked and presented and, unusual for these kinds of event, without a single adverse comment. Highly recommended and a restaurant that is well...
Read moreFound this little place as we wanted to go somewhere nice before a performance @ the winter gardens. Read the reviews which were all good. It was already busy @ 5.30, menu was really good with various dishes + a specials menu. I had the cannelloni which was delicious, my partner had the lamb & thyme ravioli on the specials which he really enjoyed. We followed this with a tiramisu which was enough for 2 people but I ate the lot, light & delicious my partner enjoyed the sticky toffee as they had just run out of lemon tart. The staff were lovely, attentive & very friendly. The bill was under £60 for 2 including a large glass of wine & beer. Definitely recommend this place & would...
