My friends and I had such a lovely experience at Bar Libretto. The weather was fine - so we were able to sit outside in the courtyard and it was so lovely! The service was friendly, professional and unpretentious. The food was presented beautifully and tasted delicious. Good value for money, considering the high quality. I would not hesitate to recommend Bar Libretto and will definitely be returning.
