Good Italian Food. 28 Oct 11: I normally research restaurants before I travel, jotting down a selection to choose from. This was a place I had not read about and quite frankly my list did not have a single Italian restaurant on it. Located near our hotel (George Hotel) I had my fill of pub foods. Six of us decided to give it a try. We arrived without any reservations, The place was completely full but the manager got us seated in just a few minutes. We sat towards the back of the restaurant at a large table.

10 out of 10. What a great restaurant. Very stylish and the people were really friendly without being intrusive. Food was of the highest quality. The Farfalle Puttanesca was sensational I'd go out of my way to visit to try that again. Wine list was good, but could do with being a bit longer.

Good Italian restaurant, good food, nice atmosphere and the staff are friendly. I would recommend the pizzas or the aubergine parmigiana. Nothing spectacular but consistently 'good '. Easy place to stop for a quick bite to eat in the area but not to go out of your way to eat here.

I wanted to try some good Italian restaurant and hence I stumbled onto this one. The place was fully crowded but we were seated within 5 minutes. I had made no reservation but the risk paid off. we started with grilled goat cheese starter and loved it. The pizzas were crusty, cheesy and delicious.

I have not experienced worse service than this place. I ordered fish and chips and decided to change my order within a minute, but apparently it only takes that much time to cook fish and chips. The food brought forth was absolutely horrendous and of very low quality and seemed to have been made with a fish kept for a long time. I do not recommend this place to anyone at all.
