Smooth white walls, matching table linen and spotlighting create a bright, private space well-suited to confidential high-powered lunches. The menu’s Italian, a skillful combination of simple modern Italian and traditional regional recipes, to be precise. Specials change every few days, but the pasta is always homemade. Excellent fish dishes. Diverse wine list, in both price and character. Professional service.

Thank you so much to the team! And special shout out to our lovely server - Soli! She was so attentive and even took the time to chat with us which made us feel so welcome. The wagyu special was definitely worth it because I usually get the same thing every single time but it was worth the risk thanks to Soli’s recommendation!! Can’t wait to be back again😊
