    This is always a terrific choice! Service and food is really always impeccable. I was happy to see a few new food and drink options on the winter menu; highly recommend the bucatini with pork cheek and the gin and cardamom cocktail. All the pasta dishes we tried were fantastic and the marrow risotto was bomb. For dry January enthusiasts we were also well taken care of! - great mock tails and even an alcohol free Prosecco. Really wonderful all around! Don’t forget the apple tart for dessert! Melts in your mouth and truly divine!!

    I got to sit in the back room with the fireplace. I got to see first hand how hard the waitresses and table runners work. No matter what I have ordered I have always been satisfied with my meal. I would always recommend their famous meatballs (which are huge) and their fried zucchini. I also tried there crème brulee cheesecake for the first time and it was delicious. Can't wait to go back there again!
