We had lunch here. From the time we sat down the staff were very friendly and explained the menu about how rich the food was and what some of the dishes had in them . I asked what one of the ingredients were in the dish and had it explained which was good . Some of the meat dishes (mains) do take half a hour to cook but over a bottle of wine no problem if you don't mind waiting . The food was great and the atmosphere

Went to this lovely cosy restaurant for a Monday long lunch with my partner. They have good selections of small plates which is what we like the most, so we can have a little bit of everything :-) Friendly and efficient service.

We have tried to get in here on numerous occasions in the past but people have been waiting at the door, so its easier to go elsewhere, but this cold Tuesday night at 8.45 there were only a handful of diners there.....We ordered 5 x plates for the table to be shared by the 4 of us, Fish, Cacciatora, Saltimbocca and Mushrooms Caciocavallo (the standout dish) and Parmigiana. A bottle of Italian house red wine (expensive at $50) was a good match for the food which we all enjoyed, almost licking our platters clean....
It was all very nice and at $67 per couple, including the wine was a good reasonably priced meal.
Yes, we will return. There was nothing not to like, so well worth making the effort to visit; its one of the better ones on Cuba street.

My husband and I had a lovely meal here celebrating our wedding anniversary. The food was delicious and the service good apart from the waiter who told us we were lucky to have him as our waiter. We didn't share his sense of humour I guess. Very relaxed feel to the place. We'd return.
