A nice restaurant in which to celebrate the completion and defence of a thesis on Monday 24th. The Italian food was beautifully presented and excellent. We had a lovely table by the front windows overlooking the street, and the waiter was very attentive. Although the restaurant was full, we didn’t feel rushed. They have an all-Italian wine list, particularly an Amaro from Nonino and a Passito from Pantelleria. This restaurant has just been added to the Michelin list. A place where I would really like to go again.
