Such a great dining experience! The food was incredible: the Focaccia a MUST, the most tasty Carne Crude, Gnocchi to die for. Even the green salad was superb! The service was on point. Wine sommelier knowledgeable and friendly. Atmosphere warm and inviting- with offerings of a heated patio as well. All staff members looked genuinely happy to be there- very personable and involved. I highly recommend this experience!

Fantastic focaccia, great grilled artichokes, not fussy on the grill radicchio but my wife loved it, cod cappelletti was underwhelming but fine...just thought there'd be more taste, pork chop was tender and very good, nice selection of wines by the glass, desserts (Torta and blueberry tart (?)) were excellent. Super service. A bit on the expensive side considering.

the staff was fantastic, and the food was sublime. we started with fresh focaccia and Spanish olive oil, delicious burrata and perfect prosciutto, then the black cod with fogo island shrimp in a decadent green sauce, fried potato wedges with Parmesan and garlic mayonnaise, and were finished off by the olive oil cake with almond gelato. will definitely be back ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

As seniors with lower appetite we share meals. We ordered the Black Cod as our main course. It was amazing - we'd like the recipe - please! We had the hazelnut/chocolate dessert that was also wonderful. We had gone to a concert at the attached Princess Theatre and the restaurant staff quickly responded "no problem" when I wasn't sure when the show ended. We will be back for sure.

Food was pretty bland for the expensive price. It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t great either. The portions were pretty small, even though they say they are for sharing. It took a long time to get our food and it definitely wasn’t worth the wait or the price.

The ambience and environment of this place was great when I went. It wasn’t busy on a Friday at 6:30 and the service was great. The bread and oil was amazing, I tried the Gnocchi and it was good but I’d prefer it without the nuts in it. Overall 8.5/10

We brought a toddler and had a larger table. Staff were great. Food was. Great, especially the homemade pasta cooked perfectly Al dente. The carpaccio with fresh peas was a lovely take on a traditional dish as were most dishes. Deceptively simple classic Italian with a modern twist that doesn’t stray too far from the original. Desserts also not to be missed.
