Cosy little restaurant near centre. The food was excellent and well presented. There appeared to be limited seating but we enjoyed our lunch.

A cheerful Italian restaurant run by an Albanian. Good quality (no corners cut here) even if not quite authentic. Good service and a fast turn around. It is to be fully recommended as very good value
