Service was attentive, but not particularly warm. Others at the bar and front of the restaurant had better service. Bartender clearly loves his job, so would recommend sitting there if you don’t want privacy. Regular tables are packed very tightly together. Food was fantastic - we had the scallops, lamb and potatoes. All were well presented and packed with flavour. We only needed a light meal as we’d been eating our way around the city, but if here for a full meal, I’d recommend 3 mains and a couple of sides for 2 people. Wine and cocktails are all reasonably priced.

Very original food, we had the prune, the egg, the iberico salad, the crozetto, the flatbread and dessert. Everything was amazing! The prune is served with an incredible balsamic vinegar, and is introduced as you would for a wine. This was already an experience in itself. All the other dishes were so flavoursome and the flatbread is a must-have! The dessert was a rhubarb cake served with a shot of rum, and was the perfect ending to a feast! We will definitely be back
