Found this place on the Internet, as we were going down to the theatre down the road. Absolutely loved it. The staff were all super friendly. The food was fresh but quick to serve. The only thing I noticed was the plastic/paper table cloths that keep making a noise as you move, but not a big thing. I'd love to go back.

What a pleasant surprise. Nice pizza and pasta. Better than stinking Zizzi across the road that gave our table away.

Abbiamo mangiato pizza anche senza glutine e non era male. Avevo visto molte recensioni negative, ma noi abbiamo mangiato bene. Una pizza margherita si aggira sulle 12 sterline.
