Very efficient, helpful and friendly staff, Italian cuisine has not lost its identity, which is the most important thing. I recommend the pasta with clams, truly exquisite, and the potato gnocchi, superb.

The venue was busy and team seemed to be understaffed for the evening. We were asked to use QR codes and had limited interactions with waiting staff so the rating is only 3 for service (which is still “good”). Food was fabulous as always. Definitely coming back :)
