One of the best Italian meals I have had outside Italy. The menu while not extensive offers plenty of choice and daily specials. Our waiter had a good understanding of the menu and he could answer any questions we had. We opted to share a starter of oven baked prawns with cherry tomatoes toped with melted burrata cheese, delicious. For mains we both ordered spaghetti with scallops, limocello sauce, equally delicious. For desert we had Tiramisu made with the lighter sabayon and mascarpone and flavoured with Frangelico, and hazelnuts. Divine!! Service was excellent.
