Read moreI visited Baffi on Monday 23 September 2019 at 7pm, a weekday during term time. I was with four other people. This was my first visit. I used Google Maps to find the restaurant, which was easy and led me straight to the right place.
I parked in the street right outside the restaurant, there is plenty of on-street parking locally.

Overall I really enjoyed my visit and would definitely...
