There is nothing I can say except if the waiting staff were a bit more attentive this would be a 5 star restraunt the food is delicious homemade good authentic italian cooking and you are not rushed through your meal though this might not be intentonal as you have to try extreamly hard to get the waiting staff's attention once they have taken your order big loss for the restraunt as not as much drink being served between courses but the atmosphere is electric and everybody seemed very happy.

We arrived and were shown to our table. We were given our menus and then waited 10 minutes before anyone came near us again. We had been in the restaurant almost half an hour before we were asked if we'd like a drink. We then waited another ten minutes before our order was taken. My partner Liam ordered meat balls to start, followed by steak. I ordered calamari and a pizza with feta and pepperoni. The meatballs were delicious according to Liam and my calamari was perfectly acceptable. Our main courses arrived and immediately I could see from Liam’s face that he was disappointed with the steak. I wasn’t surprised as it looked terrible. It was just a steak served on top of some soggy roast potatoes with a side order of ordinary boiled vegetables. My pizza had chicken on it instead of pepperoni. And I don’t mean roast chicken – it looked like that cheap thinly sliced stuff that you get in sandwiches at a garage. When the waitress asked how everything was, I didn’t want to cause a fuss but felt I did need to mention the wrong ingredient on my pizza. She offered to change it but I didn’t want to wait because Liam would be finished his meal by the time I got a new pizza. As expected, the pizza had almost no flavour so I was forced to smother it in chilli oil. A male member of staff approached us and asked how the meal was. I told him about the mix-up with the pizza and he told me that I was eating the pizza so it must be good. My Irish born parents live in Umbria so I have had plenty of experience with pizza. By no stretch of the imagination could that pizza have been described as ‘good’. He then muttered something under his breath about getting us desserts or coffees or something. I assumed he meant that we would be given them on the house. When we asked for the bill, we were offered nothing - not even a drink on the house! Avoid this place!!!

Enjoyable meal here after a walk out Vico road. I had the pasta dish with lobster and my friend had halibut. Both were good and nicely presented. Side dish of carrot, cauliflower and broccoli was a bit unimaginative compared with the main dishes. Followed by a decent tiramasu and coffee. I like the atmosphere and we had nice seats by the window. I found the staff friendly. I'm not a fan of the automatic service charge of 10% but that aside I'd be back.
