Customer Reviews
Service was excellent, very attentive and fast most of the time we spent there. The food was overall very good, although we did have the steak where they didn’t ask how we wanted it cooked, I also forgot to mention when ordering, then we waited around 25 minutes for an almost cold and rare steak which was a little bit of a party killer, but the 4 other dishes we tried were excellent. And no one told us the kitchen would close at 15:30 so that was a bit of a surprise. The place was full and the open kitchen makes the atmosphere amazing, although if you sit right under the kitchen window in the dining room, you do get scared they will accidentally drop something on you when they, almost, throw the bowls they use for cooking around. Overall very good and I would love to give their dinner menu a try as well.
The food was good. The atmosphere in general is really cute with the open kitchens. Johnny was attentive and helpful while taking the order. They were bringing the dishes fast. The steak was okay but The Salad was amazing.
The most delicious lunch, attentive and friendly service and a super buzy dining room. We went for lunch on New Year’s Eve and although it was busy the service was perfect. All the food was incredible - we had a couple of pastas, some beef and vegetables and then an apple cake. Very impressed at the choice and affordability of the wine too. Highly recommended, really hope to visit again.
Excellent Italian restaurant with all sharing plates, seasonal menu and delicious steak. Highly recommend the ribeye (500g) which was made to perfection. The mussels come in a wonderful sauce that elevates this dish. Pasta is fresh and well seasoned. Service is very good despite the place being very busy.
