We visited the restaurant for the first time on Friday evening. My husband is Italian, and we eat at many restaurants, and decided to try this one due to the favourable reviews. We was extremely disappointed and will not be returning! Firstly we was seated adjacent to the toilet entrance which was a very busy area, the restaurant was very noisy, seats too close together, and appeared to be a shortage of staff. Had one drink throughout the meal as couldn't get the attention of the waitress and wasn't approached for a refill either. Starter was not as described, should have been cheese with parma ham, got cheese with salami. Garlic bread inedible as burnt, overcooked to a crisp! Steak was ordered as well done, arrived still mooing, had to be sent back. Osso Bucco very fatty and drown in sauce so couldn't taste the vegetables. This is one of the worse Italian meals we have ever eaten and we will not be returning.
