Really good food and great service. Not too busy or noisy although the week before Christmas. It’s is quite expensive but then it is in the middle of the square mile.

We had a spontaneous celebratory Sunday dinner and tried out Bonnane for the first time. The staff were very friendly and I would definitely come back. Only thing was the music was sometimes a bit too much of a dance pop vibe for a Sunday evening. The arancini didn’t taste super fresh as they were a bit too crunchy and not creamy. The pizza was very nice! All in all a comfortable place and the staff were so attentive and kind!
