Service was really good, we were seated and asked for what we wanted to drink and the lady also mentioned there was a happy hour till 6pm. Ordered couple of Gimlets & it hit the spot on a warm day. Next we had a rosti with mushroom duselle which I felt was not that good. Next we had buratta with tomato confit which was a match made in heaven. Zelda’s Olive bread with truffle butter was nice. Bread was crusty and soft. For mains we had Crispy gnocchi, grilled eggplant & stewed tomato sugo, stracciatella, I felt the gnocchi and the sauce had no flavours. Had the fries was waiting all day to have some fries but was a bit of a let down as it was too salty. The chocolate fondant & malt icecream was really nice. Affogato was not the best! Will definitely go back and hopefully there is a better vegetarian option for mains.
