This place is extremely popular and does not take reservations but generally a table opens up in 15mins or so. Firstly I have always had very friendly service here - every time. Food is good but can be a bit inconsistent - sometimes pasta can be fantastic- other times a bit bland. Pizzas are good, mains such as Parma and Steak good to. It's all good - sometimes great. For a casual Italian night out when you don't want to cook this is a go too. Licenced too with decent wines to go with your dinner.
