   Incredibly rude staff. Went for dinner and my parents split a pizza and I had a main course. Was told we should all order mains as we’re taking away business from them (we called to make a reservation and the restaurant was half full with plenty of available tables for walk ins) and proceeded to be rude for the duration of our time there. When the bill was coming they only then apologized and said that this rule has been set by the owner. To top it off the food was average. I would never recommend this place and advise to avoid going. Montpellier’s across the road is better

   The friendly staff recognised me as a previous customer and welcomed my group of four. As always the choice of menu items was superb along with the ever present Specials Board. We all 3 courses each, 2 bottles of wine and 2 double espresso. Fantastic value and a proper Italian with home cooked food.

   First visit but will be the first of many to come. Had the 2 course lunch menu, excellent pate served with quality toasted bread and breadcrumbed veal with a spinach and cream sauce, followed by tiramisu from the a la carte menu which was incredibly good. Great service from "Meemo " the lone waiter.

   We loved our meal at this authentic and charming restaurant. The food is exactly as served in Italy with classic dishes served with simple ingredients. They had a range of specials, which they were happy to explain to us. The venue is not large so you really should book ahead. The only method seems to call them. When we arrived for our booking at 7.30 it was the last free table. The service was friendly and efficient.

   Delicious food and great service! To guarantee a seat in this small gem, call ahead. I called on a busy Saturday night and was told to come right for 5pm as they were fully booked. Others walked in, but were not so lucky. Eggplant dish was delightful and sauce was so fresh! I could hear the kitchen pounding my veal, which was so tender and flavorful in the mushroom cream sauce. One of the better Italian experiences outside of Italy!

   The food is very good. Spagetti is freshly made in house. Mussel taste good. Quite popular, probably book a table if you come at rush hours.

   Popped in as we walked by, lucky to get a table for 2. Friendly efficient staff and lovely food. Risotto and lasagna was great.
