Review:

Located on Wind Street, in the heart of the City Centre, the restaurant has changed both name and ownership since I last visited.

I’m pleased to say that the once good food, atmosphere and service is even better it its new guise. An Italian restaurant run by Italians makes all the difference compared to the growing list of chains, something well reflected in the food and the evening overall.

The restaurant itself is well turned out and inviting and the staff provide a warm and friendly welcome.

The menu offers an excellent range of choice, very good for vegetarians too. Starters average £5-6 whilst pasta mains hover around £9, and others £10-15. The Penne Polpette was very tasty, as was the Tagliatelle Positano. The desert menu is a little limited but still very nice.

I’ll no doubt be visiting again next time I’m in the city.
