    The food was absolutely delicious, especially the pasta dishes. Some of the best pasta we've ever had, would rather have had two of those than a starter.

    Great food from start to finish. The flat bread was fresh. The tempura prawns and calamari were very nice. I ordered the octopus, which was delicious. My friend had the red mullet pasta. The chocolate hazelnut choux is worth the wait!

    We had a lovely time and will definitely be back. The food was delicious, highlight was the risotto al nero di seppia with stracciatella. We had a really nice bottle of wine. Service was friendly and welcoming. Our meal was very slow in arriving, but it was a soft launch so understandable, and we were given more wine on the house, so very happy to wait! The only criticism I would have is that the lock on the toilet door was very stiff and I thought I was trapped at one point. The ambiance was good, we were on a table next to some other diners and didn’t feel like we were too close or being overheard.

    Enjoyed the calamari, swordfish ceviche and prawn temura starters. Mains: Octopus was delicious but the Red Mullet with tomato sauce was awful. Looked like a red car crash, the fish was covered in the tasteless sauce. Desserts good and fantastic wine. Tasted the red mullet pasta and unfortunately the pasta was too al dente. Early days obviously but overall it was a good experience and good value.

    Went here during their Soft launch, it was really well done. The ambiance and the decorations really made the restaurant, the wait staff are really attentive and deliver everything in a timely manner. The food was very good, especially the tuna tartare and tiramisu! Really recommend it to anyone going.
