Watch out for your high heels on the highly polished floor as you come in and settle down to a feast with wines to match. You can hardly imagine this is part of a chain, the food is freshly prepared and reading the menu leaves you too many choices. We settled on the Filetto di manzo al pepe verde and Pollo con Funghi, though ended up eating each other's food, it was so appealing! Puds are just as scrummy especially with a glass of dessert wine. Fab place and we noticed that kids dining there were looked after well, unlike other restaurants in the area. Highly recommended. ]]> Mon, 07 Apr 2008 20:09:23 +0100
