Good location, nicely laid out interior and welcoming staff. Menu offered was amazing and varied with a great selection of quintessential Italian delights. Quality of food was outstanding, fresh, flavoursome and good portions - ambience was as expected but we did eat at a quieter time and confident it gets busy due to quality of food on offer. Overall really enjoyed our experience and highly recommended.

Loved our experience here. We went for al-a-carte as opposed to tasting but I would love to go back for the tasting menu next time as tables beside us looked fantastic as well. The food was amazing - every sauce, spice, combination and texture were very well put together. The walnut and mushroom ketchup with tempura mushrooms and the scallops were highlights. Service was also great, accommodated us slightly earlier and gave us a little birthday treat at the end which was a lovely touch. Really nice vibe overall, very much in keeping with the Charlotte st vibe and a standout amongst the quality of its neighbours.
