  Standard-issue Italian food served in a splashy modern atmosphere with simply flawless service. Our raucous party of 20+ people was handled so smoothly and effortlessly. Terrific drinks menu, interesting cocktails, and wines that are worth exploring. Excellent acoustics mean that you can always hear your conversation even when the room is buzzing.

  I've been a few times over the years, always been great! I've eaten a lot of Italian food in my time and this place is the real deal. Very clean, lovely staff, nice atmosphere, all at a great price

  If you don't expect a haute cuisine standard of cooking you'll be fine. A lovely looking place with a few small signs of a lack of long term TLC: our table for example had a hole in it. The staff were absolutely lovely. The food, well everything bar the main proteins in the meal were lovely, beautiful chips, lovely sauces, the bruschetta was large and tasty, despite being serviced on a fresh pizza base instead of the more usual baguette. The vegetables were streamed broccoli and carrots, it would have been nice to have something more traditionally Italian. The meats however were surprisingly utterly bland in comparison. Look, exceptionally large portions and it was all absolutely perfectly adequate, but we chose the place as the food had a more rustic look to it compared to the more high brow Italian restaurants in the city. It didn't quite cut it on that score, and at €75 for one starter, two mains and a bottle of wine, we did wonder of we'd have been better off at one of the more high brow places. Do check it out though, it ain't bad

  Stopped by here for early dinner. The pizza was in pretty good size, bigger than a regular personal pizza. We ordered margarita pizza and a pepperoni one. Very tasty pizzas.
  
  We also ordered their lasagna and pasta bolognese, very well cooked. Portions are generous!
  
  Very good service!
