"Best home made pasta (carbonara) I have ever had. Great service, with nice soft Italian music playing. Nice service and atmosphere. We will definitely be back."
- Pete Lompas"Really enjoyed our meal here. The pizza was perfect for my taste — soft in the centre, not too dry, and full of flavour. The pasta dishes were also delicious and well cooked."
- Victor Gch"Friends had the pasta which they said was good. I had the pizza. It was adequate. Good service overall."
