Excellent service, we came with a baby in a pram and the staff were very accommodating. Service was attentive throughout our meal. The quality was excellent- the straciatella and kingfish crudo, fries with truffle sauce and salad were all delicious. We shared a rumbaba for dessert - as good as my parents made in the 70s! Great day out

Seemed to be new young staff, delightful/refreshing experience. The only thing that would have been appreciated, would be chilled water. In saying that we probably would have outstayed our welcome.
