    The food we had was absolutely delicious, we would not fault the food at all! The special arancini balls were so moreish, needs to be placed on the permanent menu! The arrabbiata sauce was on the side which was good as we don't tolerate heat very well, but we were able to dip in the balls without getting too much heat. The lamb ragu sauce was absolutely beautiful, we would of just used been happy with the sauce without the meat it was that good! Entree came out promptly but there were some issues with main coming out. We were offered a free drink for the delay in mains being brought out. Doughnuts were delicious, we thought maybe fill the doughnuts rather than sit them on top of the jam but can understand why it is done this way. Cannoli was very enjoyable and crunchy, not too sweet for us. It was a nice day so we sat outside, enjoying the very yummy food!

    We chose this place because it was the only place that didn’t make a table of 12 opt for a set menu. However, an hour and a half before, they called and told me that we’d have to have a set menu. The set menu started at $50 and consisted of a bowl of chips (not what anyone wants as an entree) or calamari followed by a choice of 3 pastas. The chips took an hour to arrive. The pasta (which was delicious) took another hour to arrive. We provided a cake which they took 40 minutes to put on a plate and bring back to us. They didn’t have enough wine glasses for our group, and they kept bringing warm bottles of Prosecco. We definitely won’t be going back.

    Disappointed that even with a booking made, arriving and ordering our entrees and drinks, we were asked to move tables, which was a much smaller table and in the back corner of the restaurant. Food was very nice, unfortunately there was a few items that weren’t available from the menu!
