   “Perfecto” in a word! Nonna’s Lasagna is on par to my late Nonna’s and hers got 👍 from all who had the experience. You won’t be disappointed with the carbonara pasta(fettuccine or spaghetti your call) nor the Campari Spritz to kick off and the Ricotta cannelloni. Enough already just go and be pleasantly pleased.

   15% surcharge because of Public holiday? 3% surcharge because I payed with debit card? Food wasn't good, lamb in ragu was terrible and had a lot of veina. Pizza's dough was terrible, dry and not worth the name to be called Italian. No risotto with chicken or mushroom. Waitress having a lot of personal problems written on her face. Never ever coming back. I wish this place go down and close. Disgrace

   The service from the waitress was shocking. She couldn't care less and clearly didn't want to be there. We had to call her to place our order after a few minutes and she pretty much ignored us after that. She didn't even bother to ask if we would like more drinks or dessert. She really spoiled the whole experience. To top that, the food was also pretty average, with small portions for the price they charged. I had the Spaghetti Carbonara, it was very salty and the pasta was very al-dente. I wouldn't go back in a hurry.

   Have been here previously. Food had good portion size however was a bit too al dente for our liking. Just another minute in the pot and pan and it would have been fabulous. The lasagne could have done with a little more beef a fewer layers of pasta and that would have got five stars as well. Meals were super fresh. Staff were friendly and the meals were served in a good amount of time.

   Great little trattoria perfect for dinner pre theatre. Busy but service quick and friendly. Food was delicious and generous portions. Gluten free pizza was fabulous. Lovely Italian wines.

   Very much enjoyed my dinner tonight with my adult son. We were able to book an early dinner at 4.30pm before seeing the musical Sister Act at the nearby Regent Theatre. The Tagliere antipasto platter was delicious with salami, prosciutto & mortadella, creamy cheeses and tangy sides such as olives and marinated vegetables, served with delicious ciabatta bread. My son also had ravioli which he enjoyed. The ambience was wonderful with probably other theatre goers. The staff were prompt and polite and we enjoyed our meal in good time. This first time will not be the last. A real gem in Manchester Lane. Thank you for a lovely experience.

   As it was lunch time we only ordered primi and pasta. Each dish was delicious. The service was excellent and the wait staff very obliging. Ice coffee was great on a hot day. We were aware that we could not pay separately and came prepared so paying was not a problem. Happy to pay the weekend surcharge so the staff can be paid for working on the weekend.
