The bruschetta with the mushrooms was a fantastic starter, so tasty. I highly recommend the steak as a main course, it was cooked to perfection and plenty on the plate! We had a lovely bottle of rioja, which was at 29 euro a bottle, very good value. Overall we had a lovely meal and great chats with the owner. Lovely staff too. We go to this restaurant for lunch, but this was our first time for an evening meal - well worth a visit!

Best gnocchi I ever had. Really friendly , and on the ball service. We went here because we were going to a gig in vicar St, but I'd happily make the effort to come back here without any Vicar st intentions. Great vibe and great food!
