😐 I have come to this restaurant in the past, but I think something has changed now. Too much use of burnt garlic. The dishes didn't seem very well prepared and the waiting times were too long. (I won't go into the Italian nature of the restaurant)

😐 Ordered for take away. The menu says penne with courgettes, prawns and rocket. Was surprised when I got home and saw tiny shrimps (see photo).

👍 The risotto with mushrooms was a delight. The burger with chicken also good. The bull mozzarella pizza was okay, not that much spices so it didn't taste so much. The wine was good with alot of it in the glass. One beer to choose from, and of course, an Italian brand.
