Delicious food & a warm welcome

Unpretentious and comfortable this restaurant serves up delicious, heart-warming dishes. Friendly and efficient staff and as other reviewers have mentioned, a reassuring but not officious Covid regime, and plenty of space between tables.

Cosy small bistro with very friendly staff. Nice food but timings were a little off with us as late to table and no gap between courses. Menu good but not as “Italian” as could have been. Try it 👍🏽
