    The service is unbelievably slow. Honestly, lifeless is how I would describe it. I came in on Friday (public holiday so was very quiet.) There was a guy seated at the bar waiting to order and a table of two girls who went up to the bar to pay their bill (I assume they’d also been waiting). I watched as 3 staff members stood behind the bar, one of them poured herself a glass of wine and proceeded to drink it. There are now 3 people standing at the bar and one person seated and you’d have thought there was a brick wall in between us and them. Went back tonight because I heard the pizza was fantastic - it was and I will go back for that reason alone but the staff need an attitude adjustment or a pay rise or some time off or all 3. 10/10 pizzas

    Excellent small and cozy place with wonderful food, great natural wine and super friendly staff. Love looking at a menu and literally wanting to try every single thing. Had the tuna tartare and the burrata to start with, both of which exceeded our expectations. The burrata and peach combination was incredible. Then we had the Prosciutto & Burrata pizza and the Guanciale pizza, both absolutely delicious. Will 1000% be back. So much more on the menu to try!

    Great customer service. Great assortment of wines to choose from with educated help from staff. Food was good, not amazing but good for what was expected. Ordered the guanciale pizza and prawn pizza. Both were fresh and tasty.
