I can’t say enough positive things about my experience here this evening. One of our sons has a nut allergy, which can make restaurant dining a challenge at times, as many places unfortunately wash their hands of this with a “we can’t guarantee” that anything is nut free. Scalini was the polar opposite of this in every way - made us feel totally at ease, relaxed, reassured, and able to enjoy an evening out as a family with complete peace of mind. The whole team were fantastic - but Halla was on another level altogether. An absolute professional through and through, and not only gave us peace of mind - made us feel genuinely “at home”. Fabulous food, exceptional staff, can’t recommend enough. If this review reaches Halla, just want to give another heartfelt thank you from Kevin & Sara. See you again soon

Okay, so we only had pasta, pizza and sticky toffee pudding but it has to be the absolute best. Couldn't fault any of the presentation, taste, service, quantity, quality. Don't be fooled by the external look of this place. Its absolutely brilliant. 10/10.
