Chef Richard Morana has worked in Italian restaurants in the city for many years, and now runs his own restaurant. It's a family affair, as Richard is in the kitchen whilst his wife Angela is front of house with Francesca. There is a maximum of 30 covers so that Richard can enjoy producing high quality cuisine for a finite number of diners. Expect simple, classic, quality Italian dishes - fish, seafood, chicken, steak, pasta, risotto, vegetarian - prepared with passion. A welcome smile, an appetising menu, cosy atmosphere and an Italian dining experience at a fair price. What more could you want?
