Wonderful place to eat, accomdating on short notice and adjusted the menu as stock levels changed so that we could still have our favourite menu items. 10 out 10 best Italian food in Canberra, the only place better would be if you flew over to Italy 🇮🇹 Always a wonderful time when visiting

Loved the food so much more when it was vegetarian. The vegetarian dishes altered to be made a vegan dish were all mushy / oily/ same flavor profile. Pretty disappointed with price and flavor. Presentation was beautiful, but texture and flavor was ordinary. So much different to what it used to be!
