If you're looking for an unforgettable Italian dining experience, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit! From the moment you step in, the warm ambiance and impeccable service set the tone for an exceptional meal. Start with the crudo—so fresh it practically melts in your mouth—and the perfectly seared scallops, which are a testament to the chef's artistry. For the main course, the risotto is creamy, rich, and bursting with flavour, while the pappardelle, is a pasta lover's dream. And don’t leave without trying their tiramisu; it’s a masterpiece and the best one I have tasted. This is Italian cuisine at its finest, and I’d recommend it to anyone in a heartbeat!
