05/04/2025: This is an amazing small restaurant with a warm, rustic charm. The moment you walk in, you feel welcome. The service is genuinely friendly and relaxed, which adds to the whole experience. The food is excellent – local ingredients, perfectly prepared. The steaks were especially good, full of flavor and cooked just right. Everything on the menu felt honest and rooted in local tradition, not overdone or fancy, just really well made. One highlight was the house wine, Il Cervino. It was so good I ended up buying a bottle to take home. Definitely worth trying if you’re into red wine with character. The place is quite small, so I recommend booking a table in advance. It’s clearly popular and easy to see why. If you’re in the area, don’t miss it – this kind of atmosphere and quality is hard to find.

06/03/2025: Group of 5 booked here and loved it. Waiter was initially gruff but seemed to warm to us. Food was amazing - caprese starter was shared and amazing. Mozzarella tasted v fresh and tomatoes were bursting with flavour. Brother and I went for fillet steak - one of the best I’ve tasted. Little bruv and a son shared a massive T bone. Again great. Second nephew went for mixed grill which had loads to go at. Shared the local cheese potato dish (3 between 5) which worked well. Great bottle of red as well. A v enjoyable evening.
