Lovely dining area, fairly quick service, very friendly. The pasta and pizzas we ordered were nicer than things off the other part of the menu, gluten free pasta available (great for the family coeliac). Sunday roasts looked lovely as we spied on other tables!

Gammon was grisly. Wine was a long time coming. We had to ask for it a second time after waiting 20 minutes. Also gammon was over priced. Tried to overcharge us for the wine.

I've been there twice. The first time the food was much better. The piccata was pasty and the carpaccio was dry and tasteless. And it was over $70 for just me with 2 glasses of wine. There are a lot of better restaurants for that kind of money. But the view....lovely.

First time here it was very nice inside. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful. The service was extremely quick we hardly had any wait between courses. The food was delicious my only thing was a bit on the expensive side. But I don’t think any more than other Italian restaurants. Would probably go for happy hour next time
