The restaurant is nice and cosy, pleasant lounge music, and attentive, polite waiting staff.
I will most definitely come back.
All of the dishes were refreshing twists on classic Italian dishes, which were explained by the chef himself. The presentation was impecable and the portions were large for the style. We had an extremely pleasant evening and will be going back next week already!
