Imagine stepping inside on a busy Saturday evening, just as Paul Langston did, where the irresistible aroma of fresh dishes lingers in the air. Even without a reservation, the attentive staff here were quick to sort out a table for Paul and his companion. He exclaims it was one of the best Italian meals they had ever experienced! After savoring a delectable Foccacia share starter, they relished Chicken Milanese and a dreamy Creamy Fetticine with Mushroom and Chicken, all paired with a glass of white wine and a pint for just under £70. Paul was thoroughly impressed and plans to return, a testament to the restaurant’s dedication to customer satisfaction.
