“ The food here was amazing. We ordered beef carpaccio for starter - very good. For mains we had Milanese - the best we’ve had and we’ve had this in many many places, also had a crab linguine that had loads of crab meet and was delicious. Our daughter had truffle gnocchi which was good but less impressive compared to the crab linguine and Milanese. We also ordered deep fried courgettes for a side, though at 7 not cheap, it was amazing - very light and crispy and seasoned to perfection. Also had the panna cotta, tiramisu and Sebada for desserts. Service was also very good. The only thing I would not recommend here is the coffee. ”
