Description

The interior walls are decorated with timeless black and white posters of Italy, evocative of the 1950’s Dolce Vita. The menu has been recently updated to reflect the changing eating habits we constantly encounter in today’s restaurant culture. Classic Italian vitello Milanese remains unaltered, but may now be served with fresh vegetables or salad instead of the spaghetti al pommodoro, of days gone by. Caesar salad, linguini with clams, penne puttanesca and fusilli Alfredo are just some of the dishes re-emerging on this menu. The starter menu now has the addition of a popular antipasto dish of salame, Parma ham, mortadella and pecorino cheese.

The pizzas are one of the highlights on the menu, in that they are thin based and cooked perfectly, almost daring you to leave some on the plate, its just not possible. With the range of toppings to suit every taste bud, 100% mozzarella, tomato, rocket, Parma ham, parmesan shavings, Cumberland sausage, bell peppers, anchovies, sun-blushed tomatoes and salame, to name a few, should leave you sated.

The specials menu changes frequently and incorporates seasonal produce, and varied fish dishes of the day. Music nights, bring an almost holiday or special atmosphere to the restaurant, and are advertised in advance, so it’s advisable to book in time.
