A friend got one of those online deals for four, which included 3 courses and a bottle of wine.

We ended up getting a very yummy platter to share, and my absolute favorite, rice balls! I ordered gnocchi for a main, which is not my normal first choice as usually quite stodgy … These were not, it was divine. Although the sauce was very rich so did not finish. No complaints though.

Wine was drinkable too! All in all a good night, and a great deal!

We went here as a group of 4 on a voucher and loved it, the only complaint was order carefully .. you wont be able to eat it all !

I’m looking forward to going back again but this time more restrictive on the menu choices so I can enjoy more without feeling too full.

Service and menu is good, and price point very good for the food & drinks.

Went here with a deal site voucher. Often (at other places) this leads to a feeling of “not the regular customers” but we didn’t receive that attitude here. We had the choice of the whole menu and the experience was great. They wound up being fairly busy for a small place. Food was beautiful and no doubt to the authenticity of the food. I recommend trying them out.

I’m charmed. Cosy and busy on a winter’s Saturday night. The young waitresses looked like they’d rested all day and were delighted to be serving us. The tortellini of the day (in marsala sauce) was completely delicious. The only thing I didn’t like was the size of the chocolate torta: it was enormous & rather stodgy. My companion loved his tiramisu, though. Maybe I was just too full to be eating chocolate cake!

When I mentioned to Giorgio, the owner, that on the menu the torta was advertised as coming with icecream (never too full to eat icecream) and came with a small dollop of cream instead, he said ‘Silly buggers, I go see’, and came back to our table with two scoops of icecream for me.

I can’t wait to go back.

Update: went back last night (Sept 2010); Giorgio not there, a few tables empty, vibe not quite the same. My cheesy pizza pretty good, but partner thought that the canelloni wasn’t too terrific, tomato sauce tasted too much of tinned tomatoes, he said. Will probably wait a while now before returning.

The food here is good without being too expensive, the atmosphere is nice, the staff are friendly, they are BYO but they have a good wine selection and they have Quilmes beer. The owner is a funny, family man.

I have been on a number for occasions and always had a good night out and good food.

What a fabulous restaurant. Came accross it by accident. They catered for the needs of everybody in the party including the children. We had a wonderful time and the food was fantastic. They are a friendly bunch and we thoroughly enjoyed the evening and would recommend this restaurant to anybody.
