Underwhelming. Nice terrace but food was nothing outstanding & definitely not worth the price. We had the tomato & mozzarella as a starter which was stingy portion & tastes like supermarket cheese. My partner had lamb ragu pasta which was decent, & I had the seafood linguine which at 44$ had 4 baby clams & 4 dried gummy unfresh shrimp - having looked at the photos, I was expecting other types of seafood on the plate. After the disappointment of the pastas we decided not to have any dessert. Also waited for 30 minutes to get my water refilled. We will not be returning nor recommending this place. I can think of much better Italian restaurants well worth visiting.

I went there for a birthday dinner & truly appreciated the exceptional service James gave us.

He was such a fun & kind waiter, & he made the whole experience & ambiance so much more enjoyable. We all felt genuinely welcomed & appreciated as guests.

On top of that, the restaurant truly makes you feel like you're in Italy. It was such a lovely dinner from beginning to end.

A huge thank you to our waiter, JAMES! We'll definitely be back.

Ce restaurant était sur ma liste a essayer depuis longtemps & je suis très déçue. Le cadre est super & c'est vraiment dommage car le reste ne suit pas: les pâtes ne sont pas bien cuites & pas très goûteuses & le service est vraiment 0. On nous a renversé des fonds de verre dessus, apportez les condiments une fois qu'on avait fini etc… je ne recommande pas
