"Interestingly, despite being an Italian restaurant, they did not offer any Italian beer, only Spanish and German options. Moving on to the main course, although the portions were small, the dish was absolutely delicious! I enjoyed butternut squash and goat cheese tortellini, which were generously stuffed with goat cheese and adorned with walnuts. On the other hand, I also tried the duck dish. While it was well-cooked and satisfying in quantity, I believe it would have benefited from being served warm and sliced. A sharper knife might have improved the presentation. Nonetheless, the duck itself was perfectly cooked. The food we had was truly delightful, showcasing high-quality ingredients. That said, I felt the menu was rather limited; it was quite concise with around 20 dishes total, from starters to desserts. In comparison, many other Italian restaurants offer extensive menus that tantalize the palate. Moreover, I found it somewhat presumptuous—and a bit annoying—that a 10% service charge was automatically added to the bill without prior notice. I typically prefer to leave a tip based on the service I received, and being compelled to pay an extra amount diminished the overall experience. While the service was good and I appreciate the efforts of the staff, I believe that tips should be a personal decision made by the diner rather than a forced obligation. Overall, the food was excellent, and I may return, but I hope for a few improvements next time."

"We were greeted by a friendly staff member who directed us to the bar area until we were ready for our table. The decor and ambience was very warm and inviting with comfy sofa areas. We were then shown to our table. We were asked to pre-order our food the day before our booking but we asked if we could add a couple of sides whilst we were there. We asked for some Halloumi fries as a side only to be told they are a starter and we can 't add starters ..we reiterated they were requested as a side to then be told I don 't think you understand, the halloumi fries are a starter and come from a different side of the kitchen ......what? We asked for some chips as a side as well which must come from the other side of the kitchen as that was fine. Five minutes later, the 'manager ' came back to say we could have halloumi fries, how many portions did we want. The food arrived....with the halloumi fries that were cold and sent back. We ordered some more drinks which took ages to arrive as did the sides of chips. On the whole the food was ok although the battered fish tasted like it had been frozen. After successful desserts we asked for the bill which arrived with a ten percent service charge already added on to it which should always be a discretionary charge in my opinion. We decided to pay the full bill including service charge as there were ten in our party and the service was intermittent as opposed to bad. The food and service was no more than ok which is a real shame as the location, decor and ambience suggest it could be so much better."
