A friendly welcome set us up for a good start. The menu is fabulous lots of small plates we had 3 between 2 of us absolutely delicious. Then we had pasta my pumpkin filled pasta was the star of the show! We didn’t order a main course as we wanted desert but the mains on the other tables looked fabulous. Sicilian wine was great served by the glass and a port to finish. Great staff and lovely place.

Lovely welcome on arrival & given a choice of tables. Love the gadget they use to measure a glass of wine 😍 Delighted to have 2 nibbles to start as alternative to big starter because we were having the superb aged beef dish for 2 including sides which was huge 😋Great afternoon
