Like most people I had to have the lasagne my only criticism would be was that it wasn’t piping hot but taste was amazing.

Took my son for lunch as he’d eaten there before. The food and ambience was authentic and catered well for my gluten allergy. The tastiest spaghetti vongole that I’ve had in a very long time. Thank you- I shall return!

Really lovely dinner. Food celebrates fresh, seasonal ingredients and the daily changing menu meant it was a surprise until we got there which is lovely! Staff were warm and friendly, happy to answer any questions. Wasn’t full but still felt really lively. Not too expensive in relative terms although I would say the size of some things (eg dessert) in compared to price was a little bit small. But the quality was absolutely excellent.
