    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!!
