Love the pasta and the straciatella and potato focacia. Wagyu rump cap was also cooked to perfection. We also enjoyed the olive cake which was light and delicious.

Brilliant meal! The steak tartare oysters were a stand out as were the beetroot with beans and the spring salad. And you have some great non-alcoholic options - much appreciated - keep them coming! (The chilli that reappeared in different dishes felt unnecessary and like it muted some of the nuance of other flavours.) Thanks for a lovely evening.
