Not a lot of good things to say about the food to be honest. Went to here for Valentine’s Day and had no trouble getting a booking only a couple days before for peak hour, which was good I guess. We ordered half and half garlic bread, lobster ravioli with prawns and a chicken Parmesan pizza. The garlic bread was the only okay dish, but the cheese was tough and rubbery. The lobster ravioli was bland and didn’t taste fresh. The shrimps on top were overcooked to hell, tough and firm. The pizza had bits of unseasoned chicken on top and the cheese was also rubbery. Really disappointing seeing as though this place has 4.7 stars on google, but I guess there was a reason I could get a booking just a few days before one of the best nights for restaurants. Service was okay at the start, although when we clearly didn’t like the food I think the waiter grumbled something but I couldn’t tell. He then started pointing at us and talking to other staff so I can only assume what was going on with that.

Maybe we ordered the wrong food but I would not go here again...

After trusting the reviews for this restaurant, I’m so glad we decided to give it a try—it was definitely the best choice we could have made that evening. Before going, I checked the menu on their website to get an idea of what to order, which was really helpful.

The service was impeccable, and the food was absolutely delicious. We started with the bruschetta and ordered two main courses: I had the Tagliatelle al Salmone, and my husband had the Risotto ai Frutti di Mare—both were fantastic! We truly enjoyed them. The portions were generous, and the value for money was excellent. I had a glass of rosé wine, and my husband had a pint of beer. For dessert, I ordered the Panna Cotta, which was nice, though not quite as exceptional as the mains. We finished the meal with a shot of limoncello.

Overall, I 100% recommend this restaurant—it’s such a great feeling when you know you’ve made the right choice, and it turns out to be even better than expected. I’ll definitely be returning and recommending it...
