Great little family run Italian, old school but with great food. Great flavours, we enjoyed hare with pasta as a starter, wolf (fish) as a main, and zabaglione made at the table as a dessert. Wines wide ranging and prices from modest to high. Recommended.
First time here tonight and have no idea why we waited so long to go. Lovely welcome from friendly people, drinks and aperitifs were on the table very quickly, the staff were very attentive and happy to help. The food was sublime, freshly cooked and well presented. I had monk fish in a lemon and pink peppercorn sauce, fillet steak strips in a gorgonzola sauce with red and yellow peppers with fresh seasonal veg and chips followed by the meringue with ice cream and cream. OMG i have not had such a good meal in a quite some time and we will be back sooner rather than later to try the rest of the menu. Great atmosphere too.
A quaint and slightly old fashioned tea-house ambiance. The freshest fish, beautifully cooked. The velvet crab pasta is exceptional.
Great authentic food, the best place to eat in the area by far! Plenty of good wines available. The staff are lovely too.
Do believe the hype! Seems it’s been there forever and a day, super-hard to go a table as there’s only really one sitting, but worth the effort. It’s old fashioned in a wonderfully charming way, really friendly staff, and the food was as good as I hoped - a fish special starter of tempura battered ling was especially good.
