An absolute gem for pasta lovers! The freshly made tagliatelle with prawns was bursting with flavor and had the perfect texture. The prosciutto and caper berry plate was a delightful starter, complemented by expertly crafted cocktails and a great selection of wines. The interior is chic and inviting, and sitting at the bar provides a great view of the skilled team at work. The friendly service and attention to detail make this a must-visit spot for anyone seeking quality Italian cuisine. Can’t wait to come back!
Lovely restaurant for very good quality pasta dishes at a reasonable price. There is a good selection of different types of pasta and sauces with multiple different meat and veggie options to choose from. The presentation is careful and very pretty. Atmosphere is also perfect for conversation, the noise level in the restaurant is good and it’s very easy to chat with your dining partners. The staff are wonderful, really welcoming and attentive, regularly checked with us throughout the meal if we needed anything and offered fabulous recommendations on food and drinks. Can’t wait to go again!
The food was amazing, and reasonably priced!! But I felt that the whole experience was very rushed. Our mains came out while we were halfway through our starters, and as soon as we finished our food, immediately the waitress came over with the bill and made us pay on the the spot, which me and my friends felt as if we were being kicked out when we had only been sat there for half an hour.
Food was amazing! All the pastas are made from scratch and the atmosphere is was amazing. The staff is super sweet, Yaa was our server and she was the BEST. Super accommodating and helpful! Advised us on what to order and it was a 10/10.
