    If you're looking for an unforgettable Italian dining experience, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit! From the moment you step in, the warm ambiance and impeccable service set the tone for an exceptional meal. Start with the crudo—so fresh it practically melts in your mouth—and the perfectly seared scallops, which are a testament to the chef's artistry. For the main course, the risotto is creamy, rich, and bursting with flavour, while the pappardelle, is a pasta lover's dream. And don’t leave without trying their tiramisu; it’s a masterpiece and the best one I have tasted. This is Italian cuisine at its finest, and I’d recommend it to anyone in a heartbeat!

    What a fantastic restaurant! The food was outstanding as was the service. Staff were so friendly and accommodating. When one of the sides was delayed it was offerred to us as complimentary. Sitting at the bar was so much fun. We could watch all the activities in the kitchen area and had instant access to staff if we needed to request anything. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone after great food and service.
