    Food was very nice and the service excellent but the portions are on the small size and expensive for what is essentially inexpensive food in the form of pasta. That said the service was hard to fault and the atmosphere is very pleasant

    A charming little restaurant that makes you feel you’re part of the neighbourhood (even if that’s not the case). The Pappardelle ai Funghi is phenomenal—highly recommend. Also, the male host is top-notch. Keep up the good work!
