Just back from here tonight and can’t recommend the place enough. We went for a family meal and they couldn’t of been more welcoming. The food was amazing it arrived quickly, huge portions and lots to choose… from on the menu. The man serving us was blethering away with the wee one and ended up taking his whole meal off the bill 😮🍕🥤🍟 honestly so nice of them! Highly recommend ❤️

First time eating here and I honestly can’t wait to go back! Friendly service and great quality food! Felt like I was in Italy having my meal and not in Dundee. It’s made me so excited for when I go to Italy! Never normally defeated by food, but by god, it was astounding! Thank you Don Michele x
