"We did see a couple of poor reviews online, bur the majority seemed positive, so we thought we would give it a try. Wish we hadn't bothered. From the moment we walked in, I had diner vibes from the place, from the condiments in white wire baskets on the table, to cheap disposable paper table covers, to the overly loud music....... had we been more familiar with the area, we would probably have left. The bruschetta was good, in fairness it was the best thing about the entire meal. We both had chicken with white wine sauce pasta for a main course. There was no flavour to the sauce at all, just really bland. The chicken was not cooked through the dish, but rather 2 pieces of grilled chicken placed on top of the pasta. The pasta was served in a rather deep bowl, making it hard to try and cut the chicken to eat with the pasta. We opted for a liqueur coffee each, which came topped with spray cream from a can. The bill was rather steep at over £80 for 1 bruschetta, 2 chicken pasta , 1 garlic bread, 2 drinks 2 coffees. However, it wad practically impossible to read the bill to check the amounts, as they brought 2 small limoncellos on a little tray with the bill, the limoncello sloshed over the tray making the print illegible. We decided just to pay leave. Not one we'd ever choose to go back to."
