Incredibly
busy
restaurant
offering
Italian
style
food.
We
booked,
others
were
turned
away.
This
place
is
clearly
very
popular.
The
waiting
staff
are
superb.
Three
young
ladies
welcomed,
recommended
and
tended
to
the
whole
restaurant
in
a
manner
so
professional
that
they
could
have
been
French.
I
shared
a
generous
plate
of
deep
fried
seafood,
asparagus
and
artichoke...
Crunchy
batter
round
quality
ingredients,
piping
hot
and
a
good
starter
.
The
mains
were
not
as
good.
Over
cooked
risotto
with
stodgy
rice
standing
up
on
the
plate.
Saved
by
the
excellent
taste..
blue
cheese
and
pear
with
slices
of
crunchy
under
ripe
pair
along
with
some
beetroot
to
garnish...
I
rescued
the
fish
with
some
reasonable
olive
oil,
the
waitress
scooped
on
some
parmesan
and
with
a
good
twist
of
black
pepper
the
rice
tasted
good.
But
an
Italian
would
not
of
recognised
the
dish.
Similarly
the
carbanara
sauce
came
thick
with
cream
and
over
cooked
pasta...
But
at
least
the
cream
was
advertised
on
the
menu.
Again,
an
Italian
wouldn't
recognise
this
dish,
but
mum
enjoyed
it.
Although
the
food
lacks
authenticity,
the
staff
are
wonderful
and
it
is
reasonably
priced...
Bookings
are
clearly
needed
as
it
was
full
of
local
people...
The
chef
knows
what
his
customers
like...
Don't
come
here
expecting
al
dente
rice
or
pasta,
but
come
for
tasty
food
in
a
bustling
trattoria.
