Amazing service from the second we walked thru the door. Friendly, informative, chatty. The food was of an excellent standard. Full of flavour, freshness and ample quantity. Great atmosphere and environment. I would highly recommend.

I am so fortunate to have authentic pizza and pasta so close to my home. People who work “con passione” desperate to showcase their heritage with us in this area of Manchester once known as Little Italy. This is the real thing. Open your eyes, enjoy and maybe learn a little 🤷‍♂️

The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and has good Hygiene standards but none of the courses arrived all together, every time had to wait ages for the past persons meal and they got one of the mains wrong. The squid pasta tomato sauce was very watery. The salmon pasta was nice.

Squid ink pasta and pasta for the mushroom meal was very poor, as if it had been cooked, cooled and warmed in a microwave. Sweet from the specials was poor, the pastry was as hard as a rock, inedible, coffe was good.

The authentic menu and offering is great - the food was delicious. There is a certain element of simplicity about the restaurant that is also appealing. However, in terms of how I would say to improve, I think the restaurant could do with re-decoration just to give it a bit more life and zeal. Where I was sat I was facing towards the kitchen and the lighting was pretty bright which kind of spoilt the conventional 'atmosphere' that you get when you go to a restaurant in the evening. When I say re-decorate, I don't mean completely transform, just some subtle changes to make the restaurant more visually appealing and 'warm'.

The best vegan pasta I have ever eaten! Would eat here every day for the rest of my life if it wouldn’t make me obese. You can tell the restaurant cares about their dishes. Definitely will be returning!
