We opted for small plates to share for starters. They took a while to arrive, but both plates of chicken agrodolce and chorizo potatoes were delicious. Our mains came out faster. The bar was set high from the small plates. But the mains we opted for ended up a little underwhelming. The prawns in the gamberoni had been cooked perfectly, and the pasta was slightly dente (perfect). The potions, however, were small for the price. The chicken milanese (meant to be a fan favourite) was uninspiring and underseasoned despite the addition of a squeeze of lemon. It also doesn't work with rigatoni. The olives - which we expected to receive first and assumed they had forgotten about arrived a few minutes after the mains had been served. I'd decided earlier. I would just request them off the bill, but when they did come, they were meaty and delicious, so I asked to take the remainder home instead - which was no problem. The staff members ranged in attentiveness, but all were friendly. No check backs - So one can assume that they expected no issues, which was slightly presumptions.
The restaurant itself is cosy, compact, and clean, but the noise does not carry well, making it slightly chaotic when busy. The inside queue for takeaways doesn't add an atmosphere either.
All said and done, we would recommend as a meal with friends but would be unlikely to return...
Read moreFood was lovely. Atmosphere was nice. Service between courses wasn’t particularly fast, but we were out with family for dinner so wasn’t any need to be rushed. Waiting staff were pleasant but unfortunately their service wasn’t great. They quite clearly need training. No dessert/coffee menus were offered. Our plates were taken and then we watched the waiting staff standing chatting (with their backs to the restaurant) while drinking cans of monster, doing their make up and taking selfies. They didn’t event look around at the tables for about 10-15 mins at one point. Overall the experience was pleasant enough but could have been better with more attentive...
Read moreThe food at this place is amazing. The lava bread is one of the best things I have had from resturants in scotland. We also had the garlic doughballs which were amazing. The pastas that we had was also great. I echo the earlier review that says that its not ideal looking at bins when you are eating dinner but the resturant cant help that. The service wasn't outstanding but it wasn't terrible. There was two waiting staff on shift and to be honest the resturant probably isn't big enough for 3 waiting staff. We have been a few times now and will be going back. Would recommend this...
