Although the actual restaurant itself is very nice and welcoming, the service was a bit indifferent and so the atmosphere wasn’t cold, but I definitely wouldn’t describe it as friendly. When we asked how the puntarelli were served, for example, the waitress pointed behind the glass counter (where they couldn’t be seen from where we were seated) and said, ‘at room temp.’ She didn’t mention that there were pieces of anchovies mixed in, and if I had known, I wouldn’t have ordered them! The antipasto, however, is quality, especially the prosciutto crudo. All very fresh and delicious. But it was followed by my pasta which was beyond al dente with some parts of it actually crunching like it would straight out of the bag. The blueberry cheesecake is incredibly awesome so definitely fill up on dessert if the other dishes let you down!

Highlights were the pastas, we also ordered the pork chop which was a tad overcooked but none the less very good. Fairly priced as well with the bill being 60£ for a starter , 2 pastas, a meat dish and a bottle of vine .
