The “old fashioned” is evident in the service with Gianni and his incredible staff focusing on giving the diner a charming experience.What sets it apart is how they transport you to Italy.

The new pub in town! Staff are excellent … Staff are super friendly and fun It was a busy night but the food and drink service was reasonably quick. Parmas were cooked really well, chips have an awesome seasoning but the salad is simply lettuce and dressing. Always recommend the cheeseburger spring rolls Given the amount of exposed brickwork inside the venue could do with some sound proofing but that’s a first world problem!

Three of us enjoyed a tasty lunch. We sat outside as a noisy gathering of 16 people were dining inside in the aircon. Service was mediocre for the standard of the hotel. After finishing our food and drinks, the glasses were taken away, but not the empty plates. We then had coffee and chatted for another half hour or so. Still the empty plates were not collected. Appeared to be one person collects the glasses: another the finished plates.
