Had been a wee while since we ate here and it was never bad, but now feels like it's been lifted to a higher level. Everything from the ambience to the presentation, taste and quality of the food was excellent 👌 Food: Polenta to start, then Roma pizza and carbonara for mains and tiramisu to end. Drinks: Bellini and peroni Prices: slightly high for me but still better value than most and the quality is worth it. Relaxed atmosphere and music made it a perfect meal prior to our gig.
