Our server was excellent! I forget his name but he is an Italian gentleman- well versed, polite and amicable. The food was delicious with cod, carrot and agnolotti being standouts but his attentiveness was icing on the cake. The crowd seemed like well heeled locals. I would recommend this restaurant to any tourist who likes to eat well and a little off the beaten path!

Three generations of the family and we ordered across the lunch menu. Roberto couldn’t have been more helpful or attentive and was on hand for recommendations. The food was delicious, there’s nothing we could fault. It’s a lovely relaxed spot for all ages.

We were half an hour early, no problem, seats at the counter so we had a great view of the kitchen and also all the amazing cocktails being made in front of us!! Extra portion of starter sent out was a nice touch and the food was spectacular, beautiful ingredients treated with love and respect, we will be back for the rest of the menu in the near future!

We had a most enjoyable family lunch, three generations. Roberta looked after us so well and couldn’t have been more attentive. My elderly mother got great attention and the food was delicious. She has had the short rib before and it was just as tender this time. All beautifully presented too, beetroot sides were most tasty. Excellent service and lunch.
