Wow!! Absolutely scrumptious!! The leek olive and tomato cheesy focaccia flatbread. I would literally drive out of town to get this again! It was the most delicious focaccia that I have ever had. I bought this while traveling through the town alongside 2 cappuccinos and a cannoli which was delicious too, the coffee was good too even my partner was impressed. The new owners were friendly and chatty. Although I wasn't staying that outdoor and indoor area was very inviting. Lovely touches inside of beautiful wares of the decor shop next door. It felt homely and sheek at the same time. I would highly recommend stopping in there for food whether you are staying in or getting takeaways.

I really enjoyed ourexperience there with friendly staff and prompt service.However the lighting was far too bright for a dining atmosphere and the food was pretty bland. Though beautifully presented. Looking forward to a tastier range of food and a more intimate atmosphere next time. My partner really enjoyed his brunch as well

Food was not what I was expected from an Italian restaurant.It taken them an hour for three breakfast sandwiches and everything was cold when it came to the table.Food isn’t worth the price. The focaccia was hard and tasteless, same with the rest of our order.Service was ok, but I wouldn’t recommend this place.

If you want the real deal, with exquisite authentic Italian flavour and hospitality, you MUST come here. The service, the atmosphere and most of all the food, is nothing short of spectacular.Great wine, cocktail and beer selection.The food took us straight back to Itlay, and we left with huge smiles on our faces!We definitely will be back and recommend this place highly!!

Stoked we have one again.Can’t wait to try more French inspired awesomeness.

VERY disappointing. No correlation between prices and quality. Had a reservation for 12.15 and waited for food for 1.15 hs. I find paying 7.50$ for a potato rosti (a patty sized potato) outrageous. Food was cold and lacking flavour. Could have made my B.L.A.T sandwich at home. The bread was plain and just had spread avocado, lettuce, tomato and bacon. It cost 21$!!When the waitress came to our table to ask how food was, we said OK. She did not ask any further questions, which made it seem they did not care enough. We didnt want to complain cause we understand people work hard but def not recommend and wont come back.

Same great place with lovely new owners and a very inviting menu. We had some incredible pastries and a coffee and hot chocolate. It's been a long time since I've had a pastry that nails the crispy, flakey, butter goodness all at once. Can't wait to come back and try some of the Italian dishes on the menu.
