An enjoyable evening trying new share-plate dishes - some were excellent and some a little less so. Will definitely return to work through more of the menu.

We started with a sharing platter of warm olives, toasted bread, olive oil & balsamic vinegar, mild salami and Brie. Absolutely delicious and a generous portion for two to share. We both had the Italian sausage linguine which again was a generous serving and very tasty. Both entree and main very well presented. Finished with a panna cotta and a cannoli which were both delicious. The limoncello spritz is also highly recommended.
