Best food in the area. Not friendly to smokers. Staff are bossy. Interesting menu. We had interesting fillets. Pavlova and avogato to finish.

I believe this was voted the best Italian restaurant according to Eat Out magazine in 2012. Fantastic pasta dishes and wide wine selection. Excellent service. A bit noisy but typical Italian. Will definately be back

Great food, excellent service and pleasant atmosphere. The pasta is highly recommended, especially the daily handmade dishes. Early booking is a must! We have never been disappointed by the quality of food.
