"Wow, so authentic Italian food, I felt like I was back in Italy !! The octopus was amazing and the potato mash was , so light but flavoured.What can I say about the risotto.. absolutely amazing.. the tomato sauce was out of this world, just like in Italy !! Finally the apricot cheesecake..the most light fluffy, tasty cake I have had !! A little gem of a restaurant and made my birthday special today !!"

"Great cafe with open kitchen. It’s small but very cozy. Quiet extensive menu. We ordered salmon gnocchi and mushroom risotto and both were delicious. Big size of portions, but it was so good, so we finished all. Would definitely come back to try other dishes in the menu."

"The pictures really don't do it justice. I thought I had had "good Italian food" before but this is a different league. "Pineapple juice" never looked this glorious before, very fresh. That octopus! Wow, great texture, a satisfying bite but not at all rubbery, somehow with an almost charred flavour. Then that mash, with flavours something like garlic? Apple? I don't know and I'm not sure I want to know how the magic is done. Why spoil enjoyable mysteries? The risotto main is stunning, what a showpiece, also delicious. Took my time to enjoy it both visually and to dig out and eat the meats. All the flavours balanced. So light tasting, but so filling. (I am a little bit in love with that fish plate). ...but for desert somehow my stomach found space. Pear and ricotta cheesecake, maybe some subtle spice in there? Again wonderful textures, melting but also with an enjoyable chew. Lemoncello, made by them, gorgeous smell, clean refreshing taste. No sugary syrup. Very pleasantly surprised. I could never cook this good and I wouldn't dare try. My words don't do it justice either. I could go on. Best to just come back here. ASAP. Definitely, the best meal I have ever had. Thank you so much. See you soon!"
