We weren’t asked if we could get our coats hung up. We waited ages to place our order. We couldn’t change menu to have appetisers from a la carte instead of starters from the xmas menu. We were overcharged by £100!

A very good experience on our first ever visit. Our starters (bruschetta , insalata mixta) and mains (1. chicken with pancetta and creamy mushroom sauce and 2. Spaghetti carbonara were superb and the Montepulciano wine was excellent and good value. We shared a tiramisu which we both felt was sadly disappointing with no discernible alcohol infusion and rather bland. We will however be very glad to dine here again.
