Reviews
Booked a table in advance but when we arrived there had been some kind of mix-up and there was no table for us. Luckily the staff handled it very well and we were offered a table outside and a bottle of champagne as a sorry from them. The food was amazing, the drinks very good and we all left with belly's full and excited to visit again!
Cozy place to have dinner and very friendly bartender/ waiter. My husband ordered pizza, I ordered lemon spaghetti and take away the salad (bigger portion than i expected). Love the pasta! And salad is fresh and huge portion. Perfect for sharing. I definitely going back again
Amazing food and service! I loved the attention to detail, both in the food and the restaurant's vibe. The Italian waiter (idk his name) brought true Mediterranean warmth and hospitality, which made the whole experience perfect. Highly recommend it.
Booked in advance and when we arrive we hot a horrible table, let's just say this table shouldn't exist in this restaurant! I asked if I could move to another free table and was told "no sorry"....we where about to leave without eating when I another server told us we could indeed move to the table I had already aske for. Well let's just say we are not coming back anytime soon....shame we use to come here frequently
