we went to dine here in their private dining room downstairs as a businees evening. Too many were cramped round the table making it rather like having dinner on a long haul economy seat basis where all seats were taken.

The starters were a wide selection of Italian including seafood, salad selections, tomatoes with excellent Italian cheese and Parma ham & smoked beef. Everyone tucked in quickly.

I decided against Sea Bass as a main course as all reastaurants seem to be serving this nowadays, despite some attempt by the restaurant to persuade me , and I chose veal on the bone. A mistake. It was very undercooked, but my neighbour offered me a taste of the sea bass which was excellent. Vegetables to accompany the veal (which came with the dish) were mash ,well prepared and tasty, but the fesh peas were dull. The vegetable portions were too small for the amount of meat on the plate.

Sweets were a choice of sorbet of the day, tiramasu or apple pie & ice cream. I chose the last which was the best item I eat.

Wines, white Pinot Grigio, and a red from Sardinia were excellent- neither likely to be found outsde a specialist merchant.

All in all reasonable but spoilt by poor main course. Service was attentive and good.
