Came here for lunch the other day - starters, mains, dessert, and a bottle of wine. Really tasty food. Some of the dishes were deceptively simple but all delicious. Extensive wine list from different regions across Italy. Also the staff were so nice. I'll definitely come back.

Truly wonderful food - best possible take away - and great natural wine selection. A gem in our hood.

Everyone is super friendly and the food is delicious. House white was great! Pasta was perfectly done! There was 4 of us and we had 3 starters, 4 mains to share so we managed to taste a lot - the fig, burrata salad was so refreshing

We went there for dinner on Friday night. The vibe was very chilled, beautiful interior in the inner part. We had beef cheeks (really nice and tender, good sized portion) and duck salad (good, but the duck was overdone). For the mains we had lasagna (decent quality, but a bit dry for my taste) and rabbit (very good). An amazing selection of Italian wines. The service is really, really friendly and very attentive. Overall, a nice local gem both for dinner or just casual drinks with some Italian cheese and meets. Would definitely go back.

We had a really lovely evening. Giuseppe was really knowledgeable - helping us to understand the various wines and foods. The two women were also super helpful and friendly. 10/10 would recommend.

Such an excellent local restaurant. The food was delicious and the service so welcoming and warm. This is the perfect choice for a relaxed weekday dinner or a long casual weekend meal. Also would be a great date night treat! Such a great atmosphere!

We went here last night and had starters, mains, and shared and dessert and a bottle of wine.
