Had a craving for italian food. And this place delivered and then some. Absolutely incredible lasagna and garlic bread, and the staff were so lovely. The food takes a bit to be made, but you can tell that it's made with real care and effort. So the wait felt worth it, and the relaxing atmosphere made it all the better for that waiting time.

Lovely decorated and clean restaurant. The staff were lovely, accommodating, friendly and helpfull. I went with my partner for a date night. I ordered a diet coke which came flat, it was clearly poured from a 2lr bottle. Beer and bottles and soft drink cans were served from multipacks. When charging the prices of the drinks you expect more. The food came out hot but very bland I had carbonarra. My partner had a tagliatelle dish. The pasta was chewy and under cooked. The profiterole dessert was from a supermarket they were stacked in the fridge next to soft drinks. For a restaurant you expect more. It's a shame because other that the food and the overpriced drinks from multipacks it's a nice place with nice staff.
