    We had a lovely table for 3 (the only other option was outside) & my other 2 guests were elderly. They did manage the daunting stairs & the lunch was perfect 👌🏻. Kirsten, Marco, Francesco & others provided exceptional service., no hovering around the table is a bonus, but attentive to our needs. The menu, both food & wine, were perfect- well done chefs. The fact that this quality restaurant is open on a Monday is also a bonus. We are visiting from SA & will send all our friends to dine here. Grazie mille.

The quality of the ingredients really stood out, and it was clear that a lot of thought went into the menu. The service was top-notch as well. The staff was attentive without being overbearing, offering helpful suggestions and making sure everything was just right. All in all, it was a fantastic experience that I’ll definitely be returning for. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy a memorable meal!

    Great spot for a pre-theatre bite. We shared a charcuterie plate and some arancini balls and had enough to satisfy two older women.
