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.

Largely Italian menu. Owner and staff mostly of Turkish extraction. Brilliant hospitality. And an outstanding chicken and mushroom risotto. Highly recommended.

The food was very delicious, the service was outstanding. Its a family owned restaurant and all the waiters are very lovely and kind! At the end the owner even gave me a beer on the house and chatted with us. Can only recommend!
