What arrived was an open tin of sardines on a plate (with grilled sourdough). Tinned sardines in a restaurant????  We  then had the Tagliatelle pasta with Ricotta and Pumpkin. The texture of the pasta was right off - gluey. The ricotta and pumpkin was just a mash. The components lacked integrity, the dish lacked structure and the whole thing was sludgy with an unpleasant undertone. The extreme disappointment continued  with the  Limoncello Tiramisu. It was flat, lacked vibrance and depth. And the final insult - no real coffee - pod filter-like coffee only and also no option for milk based coffee (e.g. macchiato). The only positives was the antipasti/snack options. Not enough to make up for the otherwise highly disappointing experience. We DEFINITELY wont be going back!

Secondly, wine list, good selection, not too many, just right✅✅. Then food:- tasty!! ✅✅✅. We had the pumpkin ravioli with burnt butter (signature dish), the pappardelle for mains. Very tasty food, good quantity as well. For $115 for a bottle of good wine and 2 mains, ✅✅✅✅. Highly recommend it!
