Superb service, our waiter knew very good English and kindly explained the menu to us in its entirety, the food was both incredibly affordable AND delicious, definitely worth every penny and more. During lunch, there is no service fee, which is a big bonus to those looking to eat quality on a budget, however i strongly suggest you leave a big tip for the excellent service they provide. We ate the tortelloni with pesto basilico and a piatto unico (joint plate) with carbonara and pork with a lemon sauce and grilled brocolli, and all of it was amazing.

Food is absolutely wonderful! Then risotto is a winner Service could be a little better though, so removed one star for that. All in all, a local haunt you should try!

So we may have over-ordered for 4 people but let me tell you that there was nothing leftover. We started with the butter and sage Tortelloni and an order of the pesto Tortelloni as well. Why not, right?! They were both amazing with the butter ones being my favourite. My son and I split the mixed meats platter. A fantastic variety of meats cooked to perfection. My wife had the Gnocco fritto and Tigelle. Something very new to us. But with the cured meats and 2 spreads, they were delicious. My daughter had one of the salads and loved it (the salad is hidden under the large amount of shaved cheese). The staff were very friendly and helpful seeing as we had a ton of questions. I will be back for more!
