Its got a great feel, light, contemporary, stylish, a bar that seats I am guessing up to 12 people, opening out at the end of the room into a very well put together dining room. The kind of place that makes you feel good the moment you set foot inside.
The service was attentive right from the moment I was seated at the table, menus's and water arrived quickly. Much has been made of the fact that they offer many of their main courses in a small portion, I have to say it didn't seem to me that there were more on offer here than at most good Italian restaurants, I am thinking particularly of Cucconi's.
The menu itself offers up rustic regional Italian dishes, and for me at least, not that much choice. Definately one of those places where you should look on the web site before you book a big celebratory bash. I had a fabulous rabbit and pigeon ragut, packed with flavour. An Italian wine list tends to major on the reds but it's well balanced and stocked by some good producers.
I was in for just over an hour and wasn't made to feel rushed on a busy week day lunchtime, which speaks volumes about the service.
Good for those who are prepared to go off piste with their Italian bad for those who want a carbonara.
