The bone marrow was excellent! Unfortunately, we filled up on that and the focaccia before our pasta came. The Bolognese and pesto were both excellent and went home with us. Our server Reo was great! We ended with the sticky toffee which was unbelievable.

Highly recommend- visited on New Years Eve and had excellent service and perfectly prepared food. Downstairs where we were seated had nice cozy atmosphere totally apart from the NYEve celebrations going on upstairs. All in all a perfect dining experience.

LOVE this place. The downstairs seating is nothing short of magical. The food is very good, but a couple dishes like the pesto could benefit from a more robust seasoning profile. And some cheese. Such an amazing, romantic spot.
