As good as always great portions as well

Italian cuisine. Cozy place, very well prepared food.

Good food and excellent service

The food is nice like any other Franco Manca but service could be better. I also asked for a kids menu so my son could use the activities and they said they only had one so needed to keep it, which was very disappointing as he always looks forward to those in any Franco Manca. Availability was also not great, I ordered a salad and they didn't have goat cheese, then told me they didn't have butternut squash (which is the main ingredient) so I asked to replace with mushrooms, which had to be approved by the manager (they kept suggesting olives instead), but then actually had the butternut squash in the end. A bit of a messy experience and not great as other branches. Also, I got a kids menu and they made no mention of the desert that is normally included.

I came here with my family at night starving looking for a halal friendly restaurant. Vinny, our waiter was extremely sensitive towards our religious dietary requirements and ensured that we were served food which was cooked in the oven without any other meats.
