Dinner here on a Saturday night, group of 4. Our meals were very good, took a while for plates to be cleared. As the night went on and more people came in, the noise level increased, may be the background music could have been turned off.

Excellent service, we came with a baby in a pram and the staff were very accommodating. Service was attentive throughout our meal. The quality was excellent- the straciatella and kingfish crudo, fries with truffle sauce and salad were all delicious. We shared a rumbaba for dessert - as good as my parents made in the 70s! Great day out
