Description

Nestled in a cozy corner, this Italian restaurant offers a mixed bag of experiences. While the food garners praise, particularly the crab linguine and pasta dishes, the atmosphere often feels lacking due to cold drafts and a rushed vibe. Service can be hit or miss, with staff occasionally overwhelmed during busy times; yet, many visitors appreciate their dedication. The decor shows signs of wear, and cleanliness could be improved. Perfect for those prioritizing flavor, this spot shines brightest during warmer months when its potential ambiance can truly flourish. Ideal for families, it welcomes a variety of dietary preferences.

I recently discovered this great spot for breakfast! The atmosphere is lovely, the coffee was delicious, and the poached eggs with Salmon on toast were very tasty. The portion size was generous, the service was friendly, and they even allowed my dog inside. I highly recommend this place for families with kids and pets. Service: Dine-in. Meal type: Breakfast.

The starter I ordered was burnt and completely inedible. The overall quality of the food was average, but the prices were quite high. The service was okay. I would rate the food a 2 out of 5, the service a 3 out of 5, and the atmosphere a 3 out of 5. The meal was served for lunch and the cost per person was between £20-£30.
