Could do with a good clean. Staff looked bored and was behind bar drinking. Food was clearly just microwaved. Calamari was disgusting and raw. Would never visit again.

After asking if they have it in the kitchen even if I have not seen it on the menu anywhere the waiter said he'll go across the road to buy some. I can honestly say that I was extremely surprised when I saw the gorgonzola on my pizza. All the food that we ordered was really good and fresh. Nice terrace and view and they also have private free parking for customers.

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal in the garden. Lasagne and pizza both very nice. Staff very friendly and service very good. Will be going again soon. read more Thoroughly enjoyed our meal in the garden.

Our water was professional, friendly, and attentive. Was early Saturday so quiet but slowly others arrived. I'd highly recommend it. Oh, the shape of the building is very interesting. A hexagon cut into the slope of the hill makes inside and outside lovely and quirky.
