Great restaurant, we didn't go for a while after it opened but so pleased we have now tried it. Wonderful service and food fron this Italian, the chef is from Sicily and has worked at some top London restaurants and you can tell by the quality of the food. Servie is also top quality. Highly recommend giving this place a try.

This was our first visit to this restaurant. We managed to park right in front of this eatery, which was a bonus. On entering, the place is small but cosy and inviting. We were greeted and shown to our table of choice. The decor has a rustic hint with pleasant prints of Italian locations hanging on the light-coloured walls. Armed with a couple of Aperol Spritz, we made our selection from a small but relatively varied menu which should suit most palates. The background music was pleasant. We soon made our selection. Our starters consisted of spicy calamari; avocado and prawns; and Italian mixed meats, cheese, olives, and bread. The presentation and preparation were faultless and the flavour and texture were good. Molto buono! Our mains comprised of one Linguine marinara, and two grilled monkfish with guanciale with sides of broccolli and chips. Again, the marinara had a lovely flavour; while the monkfish was tasty, but a teeny bit salty - that could be because of the guanciale. This culinary splendour was baptised with a pleasant Suavignon Blanc. Two found room for desserts: a delicious chocolate cake and a tiramisu. We concluded this gastronomic indulgence with tea, cappuccino, black Americano, Amaretto, and two Sambucas. The chef and proprietor then found the time to have a chat and to share some laughter with us. You can tell that he truly loves the adventure of cooking. We look forward to repeating this delightful experience soon. So, until then, ciao and keep happy.

We popped in mid-week on a whim and were really pleased we did. The warmest of welcomes, lovely ambiance, really delicious food which was fresh and hot - always appreciated. Definitely going back and highly recommend.

Visited on a Friday evening with friends and had a fabulous meal. The seafood pasta was so so tasty. We were made very welcome by the lovely Sabrina and will definitely be going back to try the other items on the menu.

A group of 11 went for an evening meal. The restaurant was half full. Took our order, and then had to wait around 45 mins for HALF of the starters to arrive. The other half came around 45 later. Mains then took another HOUR to come after our starters! Overall, the food was nice. But the service was very poor. 3 times we asked where our food was, and each time we were told 'it is coming'. No complimentary nibbles or drinks while we were waiting, and no explanation about why the food took so long. Oregano fries had no oregano Truffle potatoes had no truffle No complimentary bread/dips/salad that we usually get from almost every other Turkish restaurant we've ever been too
