Customer Reviews
We had seen a review of this place and thought we would give it a go and oh my word, outstanding. From the minute we walked in we knew it would be a great experience. Sabrina out server took amazing care of us with 5 star service, and the food just superb. I read reviews about the lasagne and how good it is. Turns out they sell 150 every week and now having tried it i see why. BEST lasagne i have ever tasted and if you like it you will not be dissappointed. This place comes very highly recommended and cant wait to go back. Worth every penny.
Very pleasant experience. The atmosphere is amazing, food very tasty and personnel is down to a quick chat. Simona made us feel very welcome and she helped us choose what we wanted to eat. 10/10 would come back.
Our experience here was overall pretty good. The menu had a lot of options to choose from and the staff were extremely friendly. We were personally served by Simona who was so helpful and ready to help when we asked about the toilet etc. The food was a bit overpriced in my personal opinion for what we received though. As you can see we ordered steak, this was the £35 steak. The taste of it was good but with the amount of fat, how big it is, and just a bit better than average taste wasn’t personally £35. We was also quite disappointed to realise a lot of it was just fat that obviously you don’t partially eat as you can see on the photo. Again overall it was great but the thing that made it unfortunately not so good was that on the bill we got an optional service charge, than then wasn’t really optional because once the server came over, we wasn’t asked if we wanted to pay it or add higher than 10% it just got immediately added to our payment.
