Very nice place Very nice place with good service. They offer very good lunch discount. Everything is 50% duscount( no steaks and no seafood). We ordered prawn pasta and it was amazing.

The kids meals with entree as we requested (Kids lasagna and a small Margarita pizza) I had the Fettuccini D’Oro and hubby had Chicken Parmigiana with veggies. The potatoes deserve a special mention. All meals were really delicious. The service was attentive and prompt considering the place was near full. Love the atmosphere and friendliness of all staff.
Wide variety of meals and wine list to choose from. The kids menu is generous too. read less

The staff were amazing and it was fantastic to listen to Italian music and hear the staff speaking Italian. Do not go past this place!!!

And the cost - $54 unlikely to get anything near the quality of food and atmosphere for this price read less

Staff are friendly & meals are very tasty & massive, I couldn't finish mine.
Only let down was the wine & I had heard this from previous reviews so only had the one, but I think you can take your own wine.
At the end there was 25% off the bill which from what other people say is the norm, so really pleased, enjoyed it. read less

Expected smaller serves with the cheap price but was pleasantly surprised with the portions, which were more than generous! We ordered a small Capricosa pizza, Scallopine La Vino, and Scallopine Pizzaiola. The veal dishes each consisted of three pieces of veal, cooked with delicious sauces. Will definitely be returning! read less

Last year we came with our family from New Zealand. It was my birthday and the staff came out and all sang Happy Birthday VERY LOUDLY banging cutlery together.
It brought tears to my eyes after the amazing meal we all had.
We came back again this year in July and had several meals and enjoyed every one of them (especially the Oysters kilpatrick). read less
