What people say

5 out of 5 stars

“Here for a weekend visit and saw this place advertised and thought it looked good. How right we were. On entering it imediately felt like an Italian restaurant anywhere in Italy. The decor was very continental, the lighting soft and moody, and the staff very warm and friendly. After awhile of studying the extensive menu, I opted on the white bait followed by the veal and mushroom and ham the partner had brusscheta followed by the cod with mussels. The white bait was nicely crispy with a home made garlic dip, the brusschetta was cut into devent pieces loaded with tomatoes. The veal was exceptionaly well done with the ham and mushrooms in a cream sauce. Like wise the cod was well done with the mussels still in shell arranged on either side in a light creamy tomato sauce. We had rosemary roasted potatos and zuccini with them although the main would have been enough on its own. We shared the baked cheesecake which was how a cheesecake should be. If we were local, we would probably be in regularly just to try some of the other items on the menu. Loved it.”

“Great food. Great service. Didn't like the service charge. It ruined a great meal and evening. I like to to say how much tip I will leave. We are not in America where the waiters/waitresses need the extra money. Shame”
