   It is what it is. A moderately priced, Italian type restaurant. Staff were pleasant, food was mediocre, wine was good. A previous review indicated that it had been founded by Italians but they had sold up, it probably should not try to do so much - stick to pizza?

   We started with a sharing platter of warm olives, toasted bread, olive oil & balsamic vinegar, mild salami and Brie. Absolutely delicious and a generous portion for two to share. We both had the Italian sausage linguine which again was a generous serving and very tasty. Both entree and main very well presented. Finished with a panna cotta and a cannoli which were both delicious. The limoncello spritz is also highly recommended.

   The pizzas were good. Unfortunately we ordered 2 out of 3 to come with GF base, but, the young waitress made a mistake and we only got one. We received garlic pizza instead of the chips we ordered and the staff were lovely and gave the garlic bread for free and still made us the chips. The staff were lovely although the young waitress could probably do with a little more training.

   The service is particularly poor. It’s absolutely damaging to have a restaurant with the servers you have. 100 attitude issues (look bored, don’t check to see if you need more drinks, yawning and standing in the kitchen or at the counter rather than checking on the guests. Even the basics eg wiping tables or helping when a glass is spilt. It’s not rocket science. The pizzas are good, lasagna was fine, pastas are basic at best and not worth ordering.

   Appeared understaffed and under pressure. Food was very ordinary and disappointing.

   We waited a very long time for our meal. The staff were getting complaints from customers due to wait times for their meals. Felt sorry for the young waitresses who need a bit more training themselves. Food was ok; ingredients missing off our pizza. There seemed to be a lot of takeaway pizzas that were the priority other than the customers seated.

    Unfortunately the kitchen was not equipped on the evening we visited and several people including my table were waiting for 40mins-1.5 hrs for food. Food was otherwise good!
