Different than anything we’ve had back home in the US and so glad we tried it. The desserts- gelato and tiramisu were also very notable.
The staff was incredibly thoughtful and friendly. Would love to go back some day!
What impressed us the most was the service. It was truly amazing — we were served by a very friendly and attentive young woman who created a warm and welcoming atmosphere. As a lovely surprise, we were also treated to a complimentary tiramisu and hot chocolate.
This is by far the best food I have had in all of England and it was quite unexpected coming out of an Italian restaurant!
Armando and the young man who was making the pizza, along with the rest of the staff, are incredibly hospitable and welcoming. I highly recommend anyone in the area to come eat here. I'm going to go now
