    Great food and portions. I would suggest avoiding the antipasti bar if you are ordering a pizza. Do try the Tiramisu!

    Vibrant and warm Italian atmosphere. The staff went out of their way with attentive and personable service. Pizza, antipasti, vini and salads were all on point and delicious. A fun Sunday afternoon. Grazie ragazzi.

    Reviews are a bit inflated, it was an average dining experience at best. The food came out fast which allowed us also to eject fast. Not family friendly, not pram friendly. Staff seemed to not know who ordered what as several other tables orders came to us. Would recommend takeaway and go sit on the lawn rather than paying any extra for dining in.
