Upon entering, one is drawn into the bustling yet hospitable embrace of an independent culinary oasis where tongue-tantalizing aromas waft through a lively, minimalist space. Patrons find themselves irresistibly compelled towards signature dishes such as the renowned beef shin lasagne, and not surprisingly so—its richness and succulence are hallmarks that spark frequent return visits. Equally tantalizing are the robust offerings like the pork fennel and nduja tagliatelle and a particularly delicate ricotta ravioli. Digging in deeper, one appreciates the creative turns on familiar classics, including a well-praised miso mushroom lasagne, which reflects the kitchen's inventive use of seasonal ingredients.

These delectable plates are served by an amiable and attentive staff who engage with diners both at intimate indoor tables and a welcoming outdoor patio when weather permits. A handwritten menu adds a quaint personal touch, capturing the ever-changing feast born from local produce within a casually hip atmosphere. Follow each dish hand-in-hand with excellent cocktails or perhaps indulge in a simply perfect tiramisu to climax the experience. With an impressive array of vegetarian and vegan options alongside intriguing flavour pairings, this venue thrives as much on creativity as tradition. The reasonable pricing belies the layers of flavor and complexity present in every mouthful, making this find a conquest well worth savoring repeatedly.
