This German-Italian bistro creates a modern mood with its brick floor, bare wood tables, globe lights and moulded chairs. Hailing originally from Venice, the friendly owners are firm believers in slow food and organic ingredients, so expect such season-driven taste sensations as homemade gnocchi with artichokes, and tuna sashimi with beetroot sorbet. Day specials are chalked up on a blackboard.
