Despite the stylistic look, it's just a pizza and pasta shop. Though in the midst of go Eat Out campaign, a few customers were there, quiet night. One female was working on the floor and she often drifted away somewhere. The price was reasonable, so value for the money.

We booked for a mid evening meal and were looking forward to a really good evening. However, whilst the food was excellent the service was pretty average, the staff seeming quite disinterested, on arrival booking in and then being left standing, bread ordered to accompany pre meal olives arriving with the first course and overall little atmosphere or feeling that the staff really cared. So whilst we enjoyed the food very much the evening was a disappointment.

Went for early Saturday lunch. Builders doing work in restaurant. Completely watered down cocktails. Not worth the money and not usual taste. Food was ok but not special. Environment poor.

The duck pasta dish was excellent, 2 other dishes were tasty however the prawn and courgette pasta dish was unremarkable and easily cooked at home- which was disappointing. The staff were generally OK, if a little unengaged- lots of trying to catch someone's eye to get service....we left after a nice enough meal, but sadly not the 'special' one we had hoped for in terms of food or service.
