Service was brilliant. I was on my own in a restaurant full of couples and the staff made me feel just as welcome as any other guests in the restaurant. And the food, oh my it was delicious, simple yet oh, so tasty! I liked it so much I am taking my Mum and Sister next week.

I love that the servers ask if you are vegan when you arrive. The food is delicious and the service is excellent. Perfect place to celebrate the Norwegian constitution day.

As usual, excellent food which is different from your run-of-the-mill Italian and which caters equally for vegans, veggies and meat eaters. The service is great with plenty of information provided about the dishes etc. Noise levels can be a bit high due to the nature of the building but generally it is not too loud to prevent conversation. Good atmosphere.

Fantastic dining experience! Authentic Italian cuisine, served by attentive and knowledgeable staff. The pasta was so good I couldn't resists buying a couple of portions to take home and use myself (Andy was also incredibly informative e.g. storing the fresh pasta and advising what to cook it with). Truly amazing! Will definitely be returning.

It was lovely, loved the srvice and the food and the atmosphere, only drawback is that the place was a bit tight, the tables a bit too close so there wasnt much privacy.

Cant praise this place highly enough, great service with amazing fresh food. Authentic Italian cuisine, no celebrity chefs here pretending to cook Italian food, just Italians who care passionately about their art. If you love genuine fresh food with quality ingredients you will not be disappointed here.
