  • One of the best Italian restaurants I’ve been to! The food is full of flavour and incredibly tasty - the pasta and pizza dough were particularly authentic Italian! I’ve recommended this place to a few people and they have all loved it ❤️

  • The flavours were amazing, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. I really loved the Parmigiana di Melanzane: so delicious and rich in flavour. The calamari was perfectly cooked, tender and tasty. The Tiramisu was also fantastic! the perfect sweet ending to the meal.

    If you like a spicy kick, you can ask for chili oil , it adds a nice heat. But the real highlight for me was the pizza crust. Both crispy and soft at the same time. I couldn’t get enough of it.
