    Disappointed. My husband and I had eaten lunch there a few weeks ago and thoroughly enjoyed our meals. As a birthday treat for our daughter we decided to book an evening meal for our family of five. We ordered a bottle of the French Sauvignon Blanc, which at £43 we felt was very expensive for a very mediocre wine. Of the main courses which we ordered only the spaghetti meat balls were good. The crab tagliatelle came in too much sauce, and so was sloppy and contained shell, the pizza was unimpressive and the sea bass was poor value at £24. We had all looked forward to our evening, but unfortunately were disappointed on the night. The staff were friendly, but the food certainly could have been better for the price of more than £200!

    Service was spot on and welcoming, loved the decor and vibe of the restaurant. Pizza and roast lunch on a Sunday…. What more does one need? Loved it!

    Utterly charming team and a truly exceptional lunch. The pizzas were crisped to perfection, the sardines were deep-fried joy and the wild sea bass was apparently superb. The ambiance is beautifully curated. Thank you.
