Excellent service from our waiter and the food was very delicious (tempura prawns, prawn with mayo, karaage, and sushi). Superb! Our only complaint - I changed the booking from 2 to 3 pax (which was confirmed) but when our 3rd guest arrived, we realised the table had only been set for two people so she had to go and get her own plate. It was a very busy night so service was a bit slow but our waiter did very well attending to everyone. Overall very happy with dinner.

Always great food. Service wasn’t as attentive as normal but may have been because we were at the front of the restaurant and away from the busier back section.

Was very easy to book. Food was not served for 30min but they were Delicious. Some were winners. I commented the occasion was ‘Birthday’ , no candle provided. Although the location was a part of lobby lounge, It was quiet and nice ambiance.

Its good but there's space for improvement. - Most of the food was a bit salty (most of the antipasto) - I understand the duck was hard to cook, the staff they were really nice and responsible, they made the duck twice, but it is still a bit over cooked, and they could leave the sauce on the table for us to adjust the flavour ourselves, cause the flavour of the duck was a bit plain, needed more sauce. - The value for food was great, I was very full.

It wasn’t a great night for the staff - they were under staffed and had a few big groups. They handled it very well though, acknowledged the wait and apologised. They did everything they could to make up for it. It’s nice to have that level of customer service. Food was delicious! Will return for sure 🌟

High quality set menu reflecting a typical Italian meal - antipasto, pasta, main course and dessert. Excellent friendly, yet efficient, service. Warm homely atmosphere. Very good value for money, considering the quality of both ingredients and cooking. Will definitely return.
