Amazing Italian food and a cosy atmosphere. I always enjoy going out for Italian food here, always good. It is important to make reservation because it is crowded.

Great ambience, with an old-school  Italian feel. Food was tasty and well-prepared with nice personnel. The wine list is, for the most part, on the expensive side, but the cheapest bottle was a good chianti. Well worth the visit!

Ok food, but the service was awful. We were told we could not order starters because we had to vacate our table after 90 minutes. I’m not sure what my host was told when he made his reservation, but fine if there was a time limit. However, 90 min should have been fine to have a starter. If the restaurant can’t cook a starter and a main in 90 minutes, that is the restaurant’s problem, not the guest’s. The waiter did not want to be there and clearly showed his contempt for us. I wonder if the recent negative reviews are all from the same server...
