The ambience here is laid-back and the surrounds atmospheric – we just wish that the quality of the food was better (supermarket-quality cheese straight from the refrigerator does not make for a satisfying cheese board). Stop in for a glass of wine from the chalkboard menu; if you would like some help navigating Italian varietals staff will be happy to help.
