This restaurant is not to be missed Very generous servings, superbly cooked and and the best and quickest service we’ve ever experienced, welcomed by very friendly and amazing staff. Recommend Chianti Colli Senesi Italian wine!

Meg Sbrocchi

Had such a great time here. The pizzas are absolutely divine! ordered half and half flavours. The slow cooked beef penne and fettuccine carbonara were also lovely ~ Finished off with a tiramisu for dessert which was top-notch!!

Mimi

Delicious Italian food. We had Tuscany pizza ( roasted pumpkin and prosciutto)was mouthwatering . My wife also enjoyed her summer prawn which was on the special menu .
Awesome customer service.
