We had a dinner here and all the food was very good. I forgot my hat though and they couldn't find it. That was a sad memory. Also I remember very different, silly Italian songs.

The exterior doesn't really do justice to what great food awaits inside. I think the RibEye steak was one of the best ive had in a very long time and the sole that my friend ordered was apparently also just as good. Service really friendly and would certainly recommend without hesitation. Not the cheapest ribeye at £36 but filled the plate excellently cooked and very worth it. 2 Mains, a bottle of good wine a dessert each and multiple limon cellos. £100 - great value in my book
