Average. Overpriced. Service was slow and a little rude. Drinks came out quick, but the food took a while. We waited 1 hour for our main. Food was ok, but didn't deserve an insta photo!

My previous review: Good fresh tasty food. I am vegetarian and love the choice. I had the pasta vegetarian and fries. They're not like McDonald's fries. They are big, chunky, crispy chips. The atmosphere is relaxed, funky-chiq. I love chilli, hence the fresh chilli pot and powering of chilli around the pasta. My updated review after lockdown: Food not fresh like it was before and the menu has changed for the worse in my option. The price has gone up significantly and the quality of the food has gone down, which is a real shame. I used to eat so frequently there before, but I'm not so tempted anymore

We ordered for take away and although it was absolutely delicious and it really was , it was extremely expensive for what we got.

Absolutely lovely place, owners and chefs are Italian so they know what they're doing. Place was a bit tight but safety measures because of covid were kept properly. Pasta dishes nice and saucy and starters were at decent size.
