The fresh fish is on display on ice on view as you enter the restaurant.i decided on a swordfish steak which was with a tomato based sauce with vegetables and Everything was first class, my partner had Gambia’s in garlic butter which she assured me was scrumptious.

Service was excellent from Fabio the waiter and our selection of dishes were the usual high standard. The owner Roberto always makes us welcome and it is good value for money, looking forward to next year.
