Kind, friendly staff who are generous with their time and really made an effort with us. Great conversation, my husband is normally quite quiet, but your lovely member of staff (I didn't catch his name) got him talking and sharing stories. The food was excellent! Calzone, Mont Blanc pizza and Fettuccine- all well presented, fresh, filling! Thank you for a lovely evening.

Nice place, nice views and location with a fountain, the food was nice, but the service was awful. They were packed and didn't handled it quite well. I ate half of my pizza when my husband's pasta arrived and we had to say at the end what we ordered to pay.
