    A friendly welcome set us up for a good start. The menu is fabulous lots of small plates we had 3 between 2 of us absolutely delicious. Then we had pasta my pumpkin filled pasta was the star of the show! We didn’t order a main course as we wanted desert but the mains on the other tables looked fabulous. Sicilian wine was great served by the glass and a port to finish. Great staff and lovely place.

    Absolutely incredible, every aspect, from the wonderful service and help wading through the wine list, to the ambiance and watching the fresh pasta being made, to the myriad of delicious dishes, everything was thought out so perfectly! The pumpkin agnolotti with sage butter and hazelnuts was a showstopper, so rich and smooth, every bite I took was followed by a smile. Also the bread and olive oil was divine, in addition to the suppli. All complimented so perfectly by the wine, it was a terrific experience :)
