We visited earlier this evening for my husband’s birthday. The building has been renovated very tastefully and looks lovely. The staff were very attentive, the food was very tasty and we had a lovely evening.

We’d heard a few negative reports ahead of our booking tonight, but I prefer to base my opinion on my own experience.
We had a lovely meal; there were plenty of staff, all of whom were attentive; we were quickly seated and our orders were taken promptly. The chef came out and spoke to all the diners, checking they were happy with their food. Food was very nice; no complaints there, and was good value for the price.
The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated and the interior of the building (a former bank) is spectacular. Give it a try; new enterprises like this deserve to be encouraged and supported.

Went here last night with a group of friends and had a bit of a mixed experience. The food was delicious, beautifully cooked and nicely presented. Although they forgot my friend's side of fries so they arrived as she'd finished her meal unfortunately.
The inside is lovely too, stylish and comfortable. Due to the high ceiling and large space at times it could be noisy.
Service however, was hit and miss. Most of the staff seemed inattentive. It was difficult to get anyone's attention at times and we had to wait a long time for someone to take our drinks order and then a long time for them to arrive. That said, Callum, our waiter for part of the evening, was a real bright spot - friendly and helpful and clearly doing his best.
Two of my friends ordered Pornstar Martinis but that is not what they were. Full of ice and pale in colour they said it tasted of sugar syrup. Two sips and it was gone. We did complain and were not charged for these.
In short, good food in a great setting but the service (with the exception of Callum) really let things down. Worth a visit but be prepared to be patient.

Very disappointed. I’ll try to be constructive as hopefully this will help them to improve for the future. I went here with family, all of us excited to try it out. As we arrived there was a lot of construction rubbish at the side of the entrance which didn’t give a great first impression. I’m aware they are still building the garden but this could have been hidden from view. It was a very hot day, and they didn’t appear to have any air conditioning set up, as there was a lot of table fans dotted around. The place looks stunning, however the menu was quite limited, with 4 out of 6 pasta dishes available containing seafood, which none of us were fans of. There were some really nice sounding pasta dishes on the lunch menu but for some reason you couldn’t get these in the evening (we were happy to pay more). My dad had the chefs special pizza which was extremely bland, white base with cheese and some prosciutto. I went for the safe option of a pepperoni pizza and although the tomato base was very flavourful and obviously homemade, the rest was very average. My sister had the chicken in creamy sauce, and the portion was very small and the sauce watery. We were all still
hungry so we ordered some tiramisu which I will say was very delicious. A very mixed experience. It doesn’t feel like genuine Italian food to me, and I would struggle to recommend this to anyone when there are two fantastic independent Italian restaurants in town already.

Firstly, great building, décor & staff… Not so great are the cocktails and presentation of the menu; some of our dishes were very bland. Not what you would expect from a newly opened restaurant.

Lovely venue, great food, staff just need polishing with less effort but better communication. Were asked three times how good main was then no dessert requests.

It is such a great pleasure to eat genuinely authentic Italian food so close to home. In- house made pasta, ragu and panna cota that must all be specials of chef Gianpaulo. An extremely pleasant experience made all the more special by the thoughtful and friendly service from Yurica, Sandeep and Callum. Thank you, we will definitely be back!

Lovely food. Mid price range. Staff were initially a little lack lustre but perked up later. New staff as just opened could do with some training. Nice decor
