Had a lovely time at this Italian restaurant last night. The atmosphere was friendly, welcoming and attentive. We enjoyed the calamari, bread and olive starters. Our main meals were really delicious and tasty - obviously prepared with care. We both had different seabass dishes and the fish was fresh and cooked perfectly. This was our first time visit to this restaurant, but we'll definitely be back again. Highly recommended and reasonably priced Thank you

The service was quick and everything was well-prepared. It’s clear they care about their customers and take pride in what they do. Definitely worth a visit. Great local spot with a welcoming vibe and friendly staff. Didn’t manage to catch the name but the girl with brown hair and blonde highlights at the bottom that served me was lovely and very friendly. Will definitely be coming back.

Had a meal here for my birthday. The food was absolutely delicious, and all of the staff were really friendly. They even put a candle on my dessert and all gathered round the table to sing Happy Birthday! A really lovely place and we will definitely be back.

A great place to eat out. Service was excellent, can’t fault it at all. We went earlier so a good atmosphere, would have been good to have a little music but this is a personal option. The food was amazing. Portions very generous.
