    Great food, friendly service, good value. We are thrilled to have found such a lovely restaurant on Bridge Road, which is appropriate to celebrate more special occasions. This will become our new ‘local’.

    High quality fresh pasta! Very quiet at 1pm on a Saturday - most sound was from the music they had playing. Would come back as it's a quality feed!

    I was really looking forward to going here. Food was just ok, for $420 for 3 (with some drinks) I was expecting better. Service was all over the place, i.e asked for a beer and server then didn't take order for it and had to wait 5 mins for someone else, potatoes were forgotten. Just overall eh, won't be back.

    Excellent food - absolutely no doubt about that. The service was appalling. No one paid any attention to us when we walked in the door, no one gave us any menus (drinks or food) when we sat down, and no one came to take our order. This was despite three servers wandering around (looking like they wandered in by accident). When the food arrived the waitress put a HOT plate of pasta directly into my wife's hands and burnt them. The food is fabulous but on the service alone I would be embarrassed to recommend this place.

    i just want to start with saying the food was terrific, both the maitre'd were attentive and lovely however our waitress didn't leave a lasting impression, we were seated and provided menus and water extremely quickly which was great, we placed drink and food orders with 10 mins and then didn't see our drinks for over 25 mins. we saw tables seated after us having wine and starters served and we had ordered before they sat down. I tried on numerous occasions to flag down our waitress but seemed like she never looked over our direction and didn't check in on us throughout our meal We will come back and see if this is an isolated incident hopefully she just needs some more training...
