And their Tiramisu was world class . Light and sensational flavours. We enjoyed as we do
in Italy a glass or two of the Montpulciano - excellent . Great find
I really appreciated the honesty of the staff letting us know that tomatoes are currently out of season before ordering the bruschetta. They left the decision up to us, and I’m so glad we ordered it because it was absolutely delicious.
Despite the restaurant being packed, the staff were brilliant, friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, and calm throughout the evening. The atmosphere was buzzing, the food was exceptional, and the service was just as impressive. An outstanding dining experience that we’d happily return for!
