An excellent little restaurant on all fronts. Located on…read morethe first floor of a downtown building, quite close to the station. The entrance is unprepossessing. Service was detailed, swift intelligent and very polite. The ambience quiet and private with lots of dark wood panelling, rather like a club. The food came hot, fresh and delicious. The wine list was fairly standard. We had red beef curry with lots of fresh ingredients and the Malaysian rice dish with chicken and prawns beautifully spiced, boiled rice and a large glass of red wine, plus great homemade prawn crackers. - £22 all in!

They are very generous servings, and highly tasty. We always come here if we're going for an Italian meal, and it has been a long favourite with our family. I believe it has recently changed hands, but I have not been since then, but I'm sure this won't take away from the quality of the pizza and pasta, and the very friendly and helpful nature of the staff. The only negative is that it can sometimes take a while to catch a waiters attention, to get that drink you want, or even to get the bill. But the surroundings are so nice, it doesn't matter.

I have a cardiac condition, which he provides a medically necessary service for. The blonde woman at the front took one look at me, smirked, and said, "We're fully booked." There were only three tables filled and the rest of the room was empty. It was humiliating. Absolutely the rudest service I've ever received at a restaurant. If you are handicapped, avoid this restaurant at all costs. They will treat you like you're garbage.

The restaurant has a strong family feel to it and this helps create a strong and friendly atmosphere which ultimately creates a better eating environment. The décor is very warming and although small inside it is very cozy and ideal for family meals or even dates or get together with friends. They offer a massive selection of Pizzas so if you re anything like me you will not be short of choice. The menu is quite extensive and I am happy to say that the prices are quite reasonable. If you are in the area pay it a visit

I would say this place is mainly for adults, its idea for a meal before a night out and even for dates. They offer a vast selection of authentic Italian cuisine as well as many fine wines from across Italy. When eating here you really do get an authentic feel. From the outside of the restaurant you can see that it is going to be a quality Italian restaurant. The restaurant really looks the part. They offer quite a lot of specials and the quality does not seem to be compromised by the price. I would pay this place a visit if you are in the area.
