With so many incredible Italian experiences available on this small island, I don t feel this experience was particularly memorable. The food was decent but not amazing and far from the likes of Gattopardo or Garibaldis which I feel offer much better quality food for similar pricing.

The restaurant itself was lovely and the atmosphere was good. The service was a bit confused with some people providing exceptional service and others didn t seem to know what was going on.

We had the burrata as a starter and felt it was a mediocre dish. The accompaniments didn t really add to the dish and the burrata wasn t as creamy as we would have liked.

For mains we had 2 average dishes at our table. The pork belly and the lamb chop were uninspiring. The scallops in bacon were very good and beautifully cooked.

We finished off with tiramisu which was good but could have done with a bit more coffee flavour.

The wines served by the glass were very good and great value. There was an extensive wine list available

It was a decent meal but unfortunately with so much competition for Italian restaurants, I don t think this is one we will return to.
