We chose this restaurant after reading many of the positive reviews on Open Table. We were made to feel very welcome by the young staff who were personable and knowledgable about all their menu items. The Zuppettina Di Pesce starter was amazing and the Caprese salad was well presented and generous in size. Main courses were delicious; the venison was exactly as described on the menu and the king prawn linguine was full of flavour. We asked for a recommendation from the wine list and were pleased with the resulting bottle. We had a lovely evening and the meal was good value. Highly recommended !
