We
have
dined
at
this
restaurant
numerous
times
over
the
years,
so
thought
it
was
about
time
I
left
a
review.
We
pre-booked
a
table
as
it
was
for
the
Saturday
(the
week
before
Christmas),
so
expected
it
to
be
busy.
It
was.
The
restaurant
is
situated
over
two
floors
and
we
always
dine
on
the
top
floor,
as
for
us
it's
the
best
atmosphere
and
setting.
We
were
greeted
by
the
owner
and
chef,
who
has
always
treated
us
the
same,
always
friendly
and
welcoming
and
treats
you
special.
If
he
has
time
he
will
always
come
to
the
table
for
a
chat.
He
showed
us
upstairs
and
we
were
greeted
again
by
friendly
smiling
staff
who
gave
us
a
choice
of
two
tables.
We
ordered
drinks
and
time
was
taken
to
order
food.
For
starter
we
shared
a
ciabatta
garlic
bread,
which
comes
as
6
slices.
Perfect
for
a
starter
for
two.
For
mains
I
ordered
the
lasagne
gorgonzola,
which
is
a
firm
favourite
of
mine.
It's
one
of
the
only
restaurants
where
the
lasagne
comes
perfectly
cooked
on
a
plate,
instead
of
as
a
hot
pot.
My
wife
ordered
the
penne
con
gorgonzola
fungi
e
arucola.
Again
a
firm
favourite
and
also
was
perfectly
cooked.
For
desserts
I
ordered
a
chocolate
pudding
with
cream
and
my
wife
had
a
lemon
cheesecake.
Both
were
delicious.
The
bill
came
to
just
over
£73
for
a
shared
starter,
2
mains,
2
desserts
and
2
glasses
of
wine.
Considering
the
excellent
atmosphere,
nice
friendly
staff,
excellent
quality
food
it's
really
good
value.
This
is
one
of
the
rare,
family
owned
restaurants
that
has
consistently
served
excellent
food
with
superb
service
over
many
years.
I
really
hope
it
continues
to
do
so.
It
really
is
a
hidden
gem.
