"Fantastic, cosy little restaurant nestled down a little side street at the back of St Julian's church. The place is full of character, the service is excellent, the wine lovely and the food scrumptious. We would definitely go back next time we are staying in the area. We shared a gorgeous aubergine and gorgonzola based starter followed by seafood carbonara for my gf and a tomatoe based spaghetti with garlic, chilli, capers and olives for me. The cheesecake and tiramisu were just as good to round off a perfect meal. All very reasonably priced too."
