All dishes were homemade from scratch, tasted delicious and were beautifully presented. We had the special of the day, a most wonderful steak, cooked to perfection, piled high on top of roasted potatoes. The fennel sausage risotto was also to die for, as was the pear pastry tart with ice cream. Service was helpful and friendly, this is a great local Italian restaurant and worth hunting out if you are in the London Bridge area.
