Menu offers the opportunity to enjoy a range of well prepared and presented dishes. Particularly enjoyed the Salumi e Formaggi appetizer which was plenty to share with the four of us. Service is outstanding - friendly, informative and allowed plenty of time to enjoy each course.

Our server was very friendly but my order was incorrect. The crispy Prosciutto toast was not crispy after having to be remade as I asked that there be no egg added but it came to the table the first time with egg. Entrees arrived quite staggered which meant we didn't all finish together and as some had eggs we insisted that they begin as soon as they arrived. The place is very cute but incredibly loud and 5 of us were placed in a booth better suited to 4.
