We sat were sat straight away at the last available table, which just so happened to seat exactly eight...score! The decor is relaxed warehouse modern with chalkboard walls everywhere, which were very colourful. The menu is traditional Sicilian, do expect pasta, fish, meats etc, however it is distinct from most Italian restaurants. We started with sharing a big bowl of homemade panelle, which is a deep fried savoury fritter that bordered on a pastry/doughnut flavour, but was served dusted with salt alongside a mayonnaise type dipping sauce. For main, I went for the Pasta Sarde which was oversized spaghetti with mashed sardines and an olive oil and breadcrumb crusting. Whilst we were told by our friendly waiter that traditionally this dish didn't need Parmesan, I thought it needed the lifting bite of the cheese as it was somewhat bland without. We finished with mini ricotta cannoli's which were ok but not the greatest. Seated quickly, service was attentive, food came out promptly and wasn't overly expensive. I'll be back!

This restaurant offers Sicilian cuisine and the specials menu had some intriguing options, such as spaghetti with orange and anchovies. My friend tried it and was impressed. The three of us enjoyed our meals, although the meatball pasta was a bit under-seasoned. Despite this, the ambiance and decor were welcoming and overall, it was definitely a worthwhile visit. Like Arnold Schwarzenegger, I'll definitely be back.

I ordered the scrambled eggs with bacon, and it was probably the best I've had in a long time - perfectly cooked and not overdone. The staff were very friendly, which added to the pleasant experience. The only downside was that my latte was served a bit on the warm side, and I would have preferred it to be hotter on a chilly morning.
