Gosh... where to begin... A little gem hidden behind Tot Crt Rd, off the Elizabeth Line. Tidy menu, and when the food comes, it's like straight out of mamma's kitchen. Looks like a proper meal with protein and veg on 1 plate and well-seasoned. Service is warm, relaxed, and friendly. We're already looking for our return visit.

We had some issues with several of the dishes. In particular it seemed the kitchen, on this occasion, struggled to deliver fish dishes that were not far too overcooked - not great when you're asking for things to be rare or medium. And even if you're not asked (as was the case with one of these dishes) they should not be prepared like that. First time here and whilst not a great fan of the low tables and chairs we had an enjoyable time. Until... ca 2.45pm when all of the restaurant, literally every table, became an afternoon tea party. That drastically changes the end of a lunch experience and not for the better. We decided against having a pudding and more wine and fled the scene. Shame. Standout service delivered by Valentina.
