    The food is so good here. Yes, the service is excellent, and the decor/ambience is lovely. But ot my, such tasty food. Tonight we had some kind of mushroom truffle ravioli with amazing parsnip crisps, it was to die for.

    Fantastic Valentine 💌 dinner!! Their 4 course set menu was amazing. Loved the perfectly cooked, crispy skin branzino and the beautiful, melt in your mouth gnocchi (best gnocchi I’ve ever had!!). Great wines by the glass to pair with your courses. The chocolate toffee pudding was sublime.

    Just a casual get together with friends, chanced upon the Ascarilicious menu, which was great value for a 3 course meal. Recommended wine pairing also came at a great price. Service was attentive and timely, and the food was excellent.
