Nice spot for some lovely Italian food. They are small plates, so more of a tapas style of dinning. Our kids had pizzas each and my husband and I shared 4 plates plus a few sides between us all. Was nice but if you have hungry kids it might not be enough! Service was brilliant, super friendly and helpful.
