Great Location, fantastic experience as I turned up without a booking one Saturday recently, 06/06/2026 if I recall...super helpful and friendly upon reception, made a space for me and meal that followed - pizza + dessert = 1st class. A further two staff very helpful and friendly too, all in all in such a busy spot a great experience. Highly recommend 100% - go visit! Cheers, Julian.

Extremely mediocre food, tasteless without inspiration. Staff basically ignored my table from the time food came to when we were ready to pay. Asked for a refill of water we never got, had to forage ourselves for salt and pepper.

This is a large Italian restaurant, with a good menu and bar. It even has air-conditioning and a big loo. There was a lone server when we went there for lunch, and he was a bit stressed at the sight of 5 Indians - such is our reputation! The food was good, service was slow. The beers were cold and bottled; they had not cracked out the beers on tap during the day. Order the pizzas (what else) and pastas (no surprises), and their beef and pork dishes are melt-in-the-mouth yummy. Pair your food with Italian Peroni beer unless you want a tongue-twister of a wine.
