Definitely amazing gnocchi! They're a must have!! Service was fast and friendly. The marroncino was excellent, but the chocolate mousse and crepes were so-so. The gambero's famous garlic prawns were good, but was quite expensive for just 4 pieces of prawn.

I’ve been here twice in a month. I love it so much! Great food, friendly service and very well priced too. I recommend the carbonara, and any pasta with the homemade gnocchi, which is truly homemade. Grab a wine glass and enjoy. Highly recommend.

I don't like to bag a place, I try to be fair and objective.
Staff. Friendly, a little slow and the front of house manager really tries to look busy or ponder about walk ups, when it's 50% empty
Cleanliness. Restaurant fair. Toilets well presented but urine odor.
Food.
Pollo Fettuccine. As Manu would say.. WHERE IS THE SAUCE?? bland under seasoned compilation of pasta and other things. Truly disappointing.
Show a pic of where is that sauce
Lamb Cutlets. Sounded great, looked good. Again zippo seasoning and tasted like frozen meat thawed. Not $46 main.
Focaccia bread. Pretty good.
They weren't busy, it was 6 at night .. but sadly this is a restaurant that needs a major rethink. Starting in the kitchen.
Not a Sat Night dinner venue.

Great atmosphere and wine. The tempranillo was beautiful. Thin crust woodfire pizza was pretty fire as well. Would love a bit more saltiness on the carbonara though.

Excellent experience here. Friendly staff welcomed us in. Took our orders quickly and food wasn’t long after ordering. My white wine was cool and crisp. I ordered the il gambero spaghetti as a main. It was absolutely delicious. The prawns, vegetables and herbs were fresh and it had just the right about of chilli. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the sauce was delicious. The atmosphere was relaxed, great place for families. Loved it. Would came back and recommend to family and friends.

Walked in and there wasn't anyone to greet us besides kitchen staff. It was clear they were still organising the restaurant as they had just opened for the evening. We had to sit ourselves down and wait for a waiter to eventually provide us menus. The arancini we ordered for entree were nice, crispy on the outside and tasty on the inside, but took too long to arrive. The table next to us who ordered after us had already received their mains and left before we got our mains. The mains were good. So it was just the service which was a bit disappointing
