   Great spot, food is great. However, the only thing letting this place down is their overpriced cocktails when more than half the glass is crushed ice? What’s up with getting three sips out the glass and then the straw being clogged with ice and garnish and that’s it?….

   The food and service was excellent as is the new location. We really enjoyed some of the new additions to the menu and the pizzas are some of the best we’ve had. The only downfall was seating. We did book just the day before so we weren’t expecting the best seating in the house. The restaurant was empty when we arrived and when I enquired about a table at the window, we were told they were all fully booked. We dined for 1 1/2 hours and the three tables directly at the window remained free the entire time as was half the restaurant. It just seemed rather strange that we couldn’t sit there unless these were all no shows. Regardless, we will definitely dine here again and recommend it highly.

   The ambience was not very nice unfortunately. We’ve been given metal plates that you usually only use in the kitchen and when cutting our food, it left scratches on those metal plates meaning we were basically ingesting metal dust with our food.. everything was grey and industrial instead of warm and comfortable, like the previous location. The pizzas were lovely though, but the Brussel sprouts were completely brown and too sweet, dripping with honey and oil.

   Disappointing. The lamb pizza had an unpleasant taste. The smoked mussels tasted like tinned mussels and were not in a Sugo sauce , just an oily sauce same with the prawn tagliatelle, tasteless sauce. Also when booking they state 9% surcharge on Sunday but charge you 10% very misleading. Don’t waste your money at this place, better places to eat in Hastings Street.

   Tasty pizzas, wonderfully crisp crust. We prefer the ambience from when they were upstairs.

    Long time patron but our first time in the new location. Not quite the same vibe as upstairs. Nice, but not as cool and unique as the previous location. Service was great as always. Food was good, however we were very disappointed with the reduced vegan options and the omission of your amazing salads. Hopefully you can improve on this as we can’t really justify coming in for a pizza only.
