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.

Our children love the food, there are excellent choices for even the fussiest of kids.
Last night I ate arguably the best steak I have eaten in my life. I asked for rare, and it was cooked to perfection, hot inside yet rare as ordered and an excellent cut of meat. As usual, the ambience is excellent, a direct result of the owners and staff who make a point of very attentive, personal and prompt table service. We have been coming here for the past eleven years and experienced superb dining yet again. read less

We didn’t have a booking and arrived to a very busy restaurant on a Wednesday evening , a very nice lady still found us a very good table for two tucked in a lovely corner , inside outside spot .

We had a starter of Garlic focaccia with mozzarella which was both generous and delicious . We then moved on to a Risotto and a Garlic cream tagliatelle dish , both were fantastic , really well cooked and well presented . We also had a Caprese side salad which again was lovely and presented beautifully !!

The service from a very pleasant young waiter was excellent and the bill very good value given the excellent food and service . We would thoroughly recommend this great restaurant for five star food and service ! 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
