Just the nicest place for an evening out. Friendly efficient service. Prompt arrival of food. Wine poured from bottle and at the table so that you knew exactly what you were drinking. Simple menu but the food was authentically Italian and so tasty. I don’t go often however it’s always a pleasure and a treat that I look forward to.
