    The food was tasty overall, but we felt the menu lacked any real specials. One of the pastas we were interested in was unavailable, and the rest didn’t seem particularly appealing. The short rib was flavorful but it felt a bit too salty, The wine selection was good and not overly priced. We also noticed the tables were quite close together, making it a bit awkward to move around without bumping into neighboring tables. Overall, we had a nice evening

    The food is so good here. Yes, the service is excellent, and the decor/ambience is lovely. But ot my, such tasty food. Tonight we had some kind of mushroom truffle ravioli with amazing parsnip crisps, it was to die for.

    Fantastic Valentine 💌 dinner!! Their 4 course set menu was amazing. Loved the perfectly cooked, crispy skin branzino and the beautiful, melt in your mouth gnocchi (best gnocchi I’ve ever had!!). Great wines by the glass to pair with your courses. The chocolate toffee pudding was sublime.

    Just a casual get together with friends, chanced upon the Ascarilicious menu, which was great value for a 3 course meal. Recommended wine pairing also came at a great price. Service was attentive and timely, and the food was excellent.

    The brussel sprouts were divine, and the agnolotti were incredible. The service was top-notch as always
