    The wait time for our meal was way to long. The menu prices were not updated to current. The steak was certainly not AAA as per menu as was very tuff….

    This is a small, cosy restaurant with great food. The bruschetta and carpaccio appetizers were delicious, as was the pickerel. Service was attentive. The only snag we hit was that our table was not ready. We were initially told the wait would be a half hour, but they got us in after 15 minutes, so not a big deal.

    Good straightforward Italian food. I had well flavoured minestrone and the Sicilian gnocchi. The service was outstanding: great timing, good humour and well informed

    The food was delicious, and we had great service with a waitress that was attentive. I took my grandparents out for a nice Christmas dinner. I can see myself going back to this restaurant.
