Fantastic food. A warm welcome, a lovely atmosphere. The seating was very dating and worn. The waiter was polite and took put order and drinks the wine was lovely. Lovely atmosphere with people sitting at the bar. The food got brought out and was incredible. The only thing we were missing our meatballs and this was quite delayed bringing these. No real further interaction or mention or dessert. The food and the atmosphere was great but maybe up the service a little and the deco, and I would highly recommend the food, and would come again
