It makes fresh pasta, oven-baked pizza and antipasti, but focaccia is the dish mentioned most often in reviews, particularly mortadella and pistachio, and burrata versions.

    One of the best Italian restaurants I've tried. Always delivers, whether it's pasta, pizza or starters, all the food, the sauces... Incredible flavour. They know how to take your usual pasta or pizza up a level or reinvent sauces that leave you speechless. Staff service gets 10 too: whichever waiter you get, they're all friendly, with a laugh or a joke. Their recommendations are spot on.

    This and Gran Torino are the two best Italian restaurants in the area. Fresh pasta and very good service. Their pizzas, like their dishes in general, keep us coming back

    This restaurant captures the essence of Italian cooking perfectly. The fresh pasta and wood-fired pizzas are irresistible, full of flavour and authenticity. The atmosphere is cosy and the service impeccable. For an authentic Italian experience, this is the place. Highly recommended!

    Impossible to get a booking at short notice, and there's a reason. Everything we've tried is incredible, even the olives at the start. I highly recommend the beef ravioli. 😋

    Delicious pizzas and salads at a very good price. You just have to book ahead because it's usually full! Especially on holidays and weekends.
