Nice restaurant although noisy and parking is very limited. Background music bland and annoyingly repetitive.

Four of us ladies for lunch, we chose a large share plate and chose 2 starters of zucchini flowers and whipped organic ricotta. Everything was delicious and more than enough for 4 of us. Cocktails to start and bottle of wine, very reasonably priced.

Amazing food. Amazing staff. Only thing I’d note is that it is very loud, had to yell across the table which I don’t love but overall. Beautiful restaurant, great food, lovely staff.
