    Lovely small restaurant with an excellent menu. Staff are really knowledgeable & obliging. There was a wide choice of starters & then the 3 of us chose different pizzas from a very wide selection. Delicious & definitely a speciality here! Looking forward to coming back when in this location again. Excellent choice if visiting a local theatre as it’s just one minute away!
