    We had the short taster menu, a well thought out and balanced grouping of foods. The wine was delightful that went with it. The ambience was good. The person at the front of house was very friendly and attentive. Thank you for a very enjoyable evening.

    Our third time eating here and the overall experience was excellent. Gorgeous food (we had the vegetarian tasting menu) and as always the thing that elevates the experience is how engaged and knowledgeable the staff are in explaining what they are serving and where it came from. They’re happy to give as much or as little information as you require and make the whole experience enjoyable and down to earth. The balance between the elevated food quality and the approachable service makes this a fantastic experience for anyone who loves good food but doesn’t want a stuffy atmosphere. We had an early sitting so the restaurant was empty as we arrived, but was full by the time we left and even then wasn’t loud- carrying on a conversation wasn’t challenging at all. Their set menu is fantastic value for the quality and amount of food you are served. The portions are substantial enough that you feel like you’ve had a good amount of each dish but no so large that you have to worry about saving room for the latter courses. We’ve been here for special occasions three times in the last year and each time we resolve that we should make it more of a regular treat.

    An excellent meal altogether: very tasty and including different ways of preparing familiar ingredients. The Hispy cabbage dish was a particular success - as was the fritto misto. Only shame is we could not quite manage a pudding even though they too looked very promising! We’ll just have to come back!

    Simple but exquisite food with it's own unique style and unusual choices on the small menu. Lovely informal atmosphere in a small space and very congenial service. Nice space between courses.

    Warm welcome to the restaurant. We had the short tasting course, all of the savoury courses were quite oily. The dessert was really delicious. One of our chickens for the main had a large piece of tendon running through it. The wine pairings weren't very varied but were tasty. The food was tasty but it needed more freshness.

    So lucky to have this fabulous little restaurant on our doorstep. Amazing food and delicious wine. Every beautiful plate of food is a taste sensation. A special place for any occasion and still thinking about our wonderful evening the following day. Difficult to chose a favourite dish because each one was delicious. Can’t wait to come back.
