Relaxing ambience, tasty food. Had 2 course menu and as we weren’t drinking owner gave us two large bottles of San Pellegrino water in lieu of wine which was included. Mozzarella salad and sea bass delicious. Very handy for BAC. Would definitely return.

Food was delicious, however portions were very small and our courses took a while to arrive. Waiting staff were very friendly and the atmosphere was wonderful.

We went there on Saturday evening for my husband's birthday. The food was great (we had the tasting menu), the wine was good, the service was great and the waiter knew all about wine.

Amazing! Best octopus starter I have ever had, recommended by the staff. Took them at their word. They certainly knew their food! Would definitely go again

The service was very slow. They prioritised a Christmas party and people sat at the bar who all entered after us. We waited 20 minutes for just water for the table. The food was also slow to arrive. They did then provide us with a free glass of prosecco each to apologise. The food was delicious, shame about the slow service.

I had high expectations as I have been to this restaurant before and absolutely loved it. Unfortunately the second experience was not as expected. The tuna meal I ordered tasted funny and was not a tuna steak, although the price hinted it was. There was not complimentary bread, which was served to us the first time and I would expect from any restaurant that label itself Italian. On the flipside wine and starter were really good and very nice staff, but not to justify the price. It’s a shame for the cooked food!

Great Italian food which was more unusual and had a Sardinian bias. Friendly staff and a relaxed environment Would recommend as a place to go for a special evening

Very friendly and helpful staff, with a relaxed atmosphere. Great for a good catch up with a friend and not rushed. A good menu selection of wine and food. Food very typical Italian cuisine.

If using a Groupon voucher be sure to read the small print as you have to choose from a special menu du jour. In saying that, the choice & quality of food was excellent (can only speak of the seafood option) & the staff were most accommodating, bearing in mind I had not followed procedure. Overall a good experience although I would probably recommend they charge a nit more if necessary and offer the full menu as was a little disappointing.

Nice restaurant, with a decent menu but overpriced. My pasta was thick and chewy and the filling lacked seasoning - was a basic dish that should have been better. Could do with more vegetarian options.

Nice atmosphere, nice food though small portions. There was live jazz, which was very pleasant, the restaurant was quiet and service fine. Nothing breathtaking (but we only had 1 dish and no wine) but pleasant.
