We all ordered something different and all were very happy. The place was packed when we arrived at 7pm but had filtered down by 8.30 with seating inside and out. We were a group of 8 and the staff were friendly and relaxed ( but could have been a little faster with initial services). A great informal place.

One highlight was the ice cream with lemoncello liquor dessert served in a champagne flute.

Sunday evening in winter so not many customers, but the service was exceptional and the food was very, very good. Loved the...Buffalo mozarella on the Bruschetta Caprese. The Tortelini Bologna was just right and the chocolate cakes have removed everything. Better to book than Friday and Saturday nights, even in winter, must be very busy
