"I was only the third customer, and there was a really strong smell like stale cooking fat Italian restaurants usually have a light smell of herbs and garlic. I had a reasonable spaghetti Bolognese with a pot of powdery parmesan, and some nice bread with no butter, and no bowl to pour olive oil and balsamic. My glass of Merlot wasn't particularly nice, so I had a glass of house red, which was a little better. Service was friendly and efficient!"
