A tough place to pick really.
Really pleasant service on the floor. Good prices. Nice location.
But the food. The food left a bit to be desired.
Their take on the caprese was disappointing. It’s probably my favourite salad and I’m almost certain I can make a better version myself. Bocconcini is a tasteless cheese and over the top of standard tomatoes it doesn’t really inspire. The rucola was a better attempt.
A selection of bruschetta was good, but didn’t really have much of a punch.
The mains, again, were a bit hit and miss. While the crab and tomato risotto was well flavoured, it was also undercooked. The gnocchi was also nice, but a little overcooked. But that was probably more because of bias for simple flavouring on gnocchi.
Tiramisu-the yardstick for all good Italian places-was a nice end to the meal.
On a whole it was a good experience. While the food was only okay, the service and mood they created made up for it. I won’t jump to go there again, but I won’t hesitate for a second to give it another go.
RATING: Okay, may go back
