Great selection of breads with dips to start with followed by two tasty fresh pasta dishes. My pasta dish cooled quite quickly, perhaps a warmed plate would have helped. My wife's authentic tiramisu was greatly enjoyed and my Zuppa Inglese a lovely mix of boozy sponge and ice cream. Thanks to Reg for his service and dry humour. Recommended.
