Very cosy, welcoming and homely. independent run authentic Italian restaurant. Best Italian food I have had for a while that’s not home made or overpriced. Food is fresh and good quality with of course the chefs being fantastic and working hard. Fair wine selection. Such a friendly bunch of people would definitely go again and recommend

I've been going here for years, the food is fantastic!! The service is wonderful but the restaurant is a bit small but can stall host a large group of people. They are usually quite busy, so booking in advance is recommended. Never had a bad dish and my favourite I've had is the SCALOPPINA ALLA MILANESE CON SPAGHETTI. It is a little pricey but considering the quality and taste of the food, I would definitely recommend this place.

Absolutely love this family run Italian restaurant. The service is homely and comforting. As a vegetarian there is plenty on the menu and daily specials. My go to is the arrabiata with mozzarella but if the spinach soup or veg lasagne are on the specials then those are my top picks. Generous portions too. I always book as they do get busy.
