I went to this Italian restaurant for my Christmas dinner, so that the food could make me feel much closer to home even if I am not. I started with an antipasto: nothing complicated with no particular preparations, but well displayed and tasty. Then the octopus with the potatoes cream: tasty as well, maybe the octopus a bit too crispy. Pasta wise: very good linguine with prawns, with a lot of sauce, too runny in my opinion Dessert: very good semifreddo, too many cream decorations though The restaurant interiors have very nice and charming details. At the end of the dinner I had a pleasant chat with Mirco, about living in Australia The notes about the food are not meant to be derogative, but just for sharing my personal opinion and humble advice. The four stars rating? As a friend of mine, once said: there is always room for improvement
Great dining experience. Pricey and worth for the service and recommendation. Had a good dinner with family. Recommended for authentic Italian food
A quirky café with eclectic decor (think mismatched chairs and funky art), incredibly welcoming staff, delicious pastries, and a unique coffee selection that keeps you coming back for more!
