Good location, nicely laid out interior and welcoming staff. Menu offered was amazing and varied with a great selection of quintessential Italian delights. Quality of food was outstanding, fresh, flavoursome and good portions - ambience was as expected but we did eat at a quieter time and confident it gets busy due to quality of food on offer. Overall really enjoyed our experience and highly recommended.

The food was absolutely fantastic, there is a wide variety dishes, we went for the Cypriot style mezze which did not disappoint in Flavour, freshness, quality of ingredients and quantity. It wasn’t the cheapest mezze out of an establishment like this but well worth it 100%. Would we go back again? In a heart beat. This is normally a chilled out laidback kind of place, with ample free parking on the venue’s premises.

lovely meal as always. However lots of new staff, and trying to get a clear order was difficult . There is no kids menu, but they said they the would give a smaller portion size, which is fine, however, they kept getting confused with which meal was a kids meal and which wasnt - and we had to go back and forth with the waiters approx 5 times to confirm/ Other than that, it was a lovely meal. My recommendation would be to get a Kids Menu - it can be the same as the main menu but it will just make it clear to them what people are ordering.
