This was a quiet corner of the city to have lunch - pizza with lamb was incredibly tasty and wood fired base fine to perfection. A great range of cocktails and Pino Grigio by the glass was a decent drop. Friendly service and a birthday tiramisu!

Very efficient, helpful and friendly staff, Italian cuisine has not lost its identity, which is the most important thing. I recommend the pasta with clams, truly exquisite, and the potato gnocchi, superb.
