When we asked for a Sauvignon blanc he replied with “oh you said you wanted a local wine” which we didn’t. My food then came (I had ordered tuna) and I could smell the fish before it arrived at the table. I tasted it and nearly threw up in my mouth. My colleague also said it stinks and tasted off. I complained to the waiter and he asked if I wanted something else. I said no, please can you just remove it from the bill. When the bill came I asked the waiter if it had been removed and he said no the chef said it was fine. I told him it wasn’t and that I hadn’t eaten it and he then snatched my credit card from my hand to pay for the bill. I snatched it back and asked to speak to someone else and he got very aggressive at me. Absolutely vile staff, aggressive and sexist.

Restaurant offers plenty of choices, a variety of local dishes, ample wine list with Italian and French wines. Whether you're looking for seafood, meat, or pizza, this restaurant has a choice for you. They pay attention to service and presentation, that's something you'll see straight away. I particularly enjoyed the grilled octopus on a chickpea purée. For second course I had the Piedmontese Vitellone (local beef which was deliciously tender. To finish off with this nice experience, I had a nice zambaione mousse for desert. I don't think you could go wrong here! :

They were all incredibly disappointing. The risotto had about three pieces of mushrooms and it was served like someone has started eating it from one side. The instant Gallo risotto that I prepare is way better than this. The penne had some hard pieces, which hinted that it was cooked a while ago and was just warmed up upon our order. The beef was also of low quality, my husband was concerned about getting poisoned. This place is a shame for Italian cuisine. Please do not waste your money...
