The best dinner in ages. Every course was delicious. The Parmesan butter with the sourdough, I could have eaten that for seconds. The lasagne lived up to the hype, the garlic bun was crisp and so garlicky and rocket salad was simple but the perfect side. Yum. I hate tiramisu but decided to try it and I’m so glad I did as it was perfect along with the chocolate sorbet. Loved the little venue and the staff were all welcoming. Wished the deli was open when we came as I’d definitely have been taking some bits home with us.

The food was amazing, couldn’t fault it, and the wine was great. Service was brilliant too, the only snag for us was the noise, given it’s a small place voices naturally carry so the music could do with being a bit quieter to make it easier to hear each other
