"very decent meal to have with my family, service was very good and really friendly and I was quite impressed if I must say, we ordered white wine Sav Blanc, they served the bottle beautifully, however, they have not given us any ice to keep the wine chilled for the duration of our meal there, the gentleman who was the host at the time was very kind and professional. (Bald guy sorry we dint get the name haha) a little bit of an issue with the glasses as they came to the table dirty with debris and bits at the bottom of the glass to have a lip lipstick stain from a wine glass. aside from this, the staff has been very accommodating and really took care of us. starters was a joy to have, we went for 4 different starters to share between us and provided us with small plates to indulge ourselves with the different flavours. hummus 9/10 came with a fantastic flavourful Hummus with fresh hot flatbread to dip with, really well seasoned, great portion to have calamari 7.2/10 the dip for the calamari is very well balanced and really well made, the calamari was very well cooked and the texture of the breading was nice and crisp, however, it was a little bit chewy indicating perhaps it was from a frozen packet, premade and it seemed too uniform to be made in the restaurant at the time , it was still a joy to have with the wine and perhaps for the prices that you pay for you might expect the calamari to be homemade. Arancini 8.6/10 now this is a special one, very well balanced seasoned to the tea and the sauce it came with was a really good paring, the only downside I can say was it was a little undercooked and just a touch more with the stuffing that was in the inside to bring the dish altogether. Mains Beef chianti served with mashed potato infused with porcini mushroom. 8.5/10 My favourite dish by far upon years of coming to the restaurant, the flavour of the red wine the herbs and the depth of flavour from onions and the tender beef it was a great experience to have, perhaps I should have ordered a great red wine to pair it with this wonderful of a dish, the mash, on the other hand, was a downfall of the dish has the consistency was a little too wet the porcini mushrooms gave it a wonderful flavour, umami and earthy notes and it was well seasoned it was delicious to have with the beef and compliments well but there was just not enough mash to pair with the food and the serving was one tablespoon of the mash to go with a large ladle of wonderful chianti beef overall it was a wonderful experience and would definitely come back again soon"
