Was very easy to book. Food was not served for 30min but they were Delicious. Some were winners. I commented the occasion was ‘Birthday’ , no candle provided. Although the location was a part of lobby lounge, It was quiet and nice ambiance.

Its good but there's space for improvement. - Most of the food was a bit salty (most of the antipasto) - I understand the duck was hard to cook, the staff they were really nice and responsible, they made the duck twice, but it is still a bit over cooked, and they could leave the sauce on the table for us to adjust the flavour ourselves, cause the flavour of the duck was a bit plain, needed more sauce. - The value for food was great, I was very full.

High quality set menu reflecting a typical Italian meal - antipasto, pasta, main course and dessert. Excellent friendly, yet efficient, service. Warm homely atmosphere. Very good value for money, considering the quality of both ingredients and cooking. Will definitely return.

The food there was amazing, we got the grilled bread and a crab/prawn croquet for entree and I could not recommend the grilled bread more so delicious, as a side the miso cauliflower is unbelievable and the home made chips are some of the best 100% would recommend to anyone
