    Very disappointing experience. My pizza was burnt and lacked flavour or appropriate level of toppings to stop it from burning. I only ate 1/2 and the waitress didn’t ask if anything was wrong - only if I wanted to take the rest home which I definitely didn’t. My husband had bolognese which was ok. Some service, very average food and expensive for what it is. The menu seems confused with bold flavours added to subtle dishes! I am not sure anyone has been to Italy or understands the concept of Italian food. All in all a disappointment on Boxing Day!

    Overall good. Tried it out as we had a gift card given to us. For the price would have expected more in terms of service and food. Arancini balls were salty. Pizza and pasta was good as well. Server seemed to be stand offish and was unable to make suggestions off the cuff. Otherwise may not consider returning if not for the gift card that initially prompted us to come in.

    I’ve eaten here twice, lunch and dinner. Both times urge me to return again. The fresh pasta and sauces are amazing, the appetizers are inventive and delicious! My favorite dessert is the dark chocolate budino and I look forward to trying their famous donuts next time.

    It’s one of my favorite restaurants for Italian food. The pasta is made fresh on the premises. Great food at reasonable prices.

    The staff were friendly and well-informed. We were given a nice table, in a private corner. Room for improvement? a) Showing calories is a great idea but the high calorie content of almost everything on the menu led all four of us to choose the salad options, maybe offer half-portions to allow wider choice; and b) my avocado salad was an enigma, where was the avocado? Apparently imprisoned in the kitchen, a few small pieces were liberated by the wait staff.
