    From the moment, I walked in the restaurant, I was welcomed. It was Mother’s Day in the UK and I was given a warm appreciation. The food was fresh and very well seasoned. The recommendations were spot on. Including the pistachio Crème Brûlée with mixed berries. I will definitely visit again!

    Hi, I visited your restaurant on Valentine’s Day and was quite disappointed with the experience. First, I noticed that the menu lacked variety. The quality of the starter was awful—I understand that it was a special menu, but presentation shouldn’t come at the cost of taste and quality. For the main course, we were only given two options: fish or meat. The fish didn’t seem appealing, so we chose the meat. Unfortunately, it wasn’t warm enough and didn’t taste as fresh as it should have. Overall, I wouldn’t return to this restaurant, nor would I recommend it to anyone.

    Amazing experience from start to finish, Federico was really nice and helpful…and always smiling. It was our first time and definitely not the last.
