The venue is clean, quiet and warm.
Probably one of the loveliest Italian pasta dishes we've come across around towns with what we ordered
A versatile, but simple menu makes it easy to find what you fancy - just a little bit of a wait time on our meals even though we were a party of 3 and there was only one other occupied table for a public holiday lunch

Casual Italian dining at its finest! Great atmosphere and service with a focused menu. The arancini was a standout! Both pastas were incredible, with an explosion of flavours dancing around my taste buds. The gnocchi was like biting into a cloud, it just melted in my mouth. The carbonara was also delicious however the pasta was a little too hard for my liking but that’s just a personal preference. Overall still an amazing dining experience and will definitely be coming back!
If you’re looking for a no fuss and delicious authentic Italian cuisine , then this is the place for you.

I really want to like this place more but my meal missed the mark so I'm marking it as ok.
I got the fried calamari as a main and the serving size was very generous and the calamari was tender and not overcooked.
However the seasoning was completely off, as I got about halfway through my plate I became aware how heavily salted the meal was - even the salad. I think perhaps a heavy hand on the salt in the kitchen. I ended up giving the rest to my partner who ate a few but also noted the high salt content.
My dining companions ordered pastas and all thoroughly enjoyed them. Kind of wish I did the same. As a person on a strict gluten free diet I am so happy to see a Coeliac Australia accredited restaurant and I do want to support that. My friends ordered wheaty pasta so I can't comment on the taste.
We also ordered the arancini as a starter and these were very good.
Service was a bit iffy, with one friend mentioning the long wait between courses. I was content chatting so didn't mind so much.
Hopefully I'll visit again some time and get to try something really special.

Superb handmade pasta(4 on the top of the menu). Would recommend mushroom Maria sauce to everyone, so creamy and rich in flavour! The white chocolate and raspberry ice cream tastes like cooled melted Chinese white rabbit candy. I personally am obsessed with this dessert.

Just superb! 6 stars if I could. My wife and mate are celiac and were in absolute heaven! Great staff and owners all very jovial and friendly. Highly recommended. We'll be back (even though it's a 20km drive across the city)

Very lovely staff, we were served by someone who said it was one of their first shifts and she was so kind and helpful. The food was also very very nice, a little bit on the smaller side, but that's okay because the entrees and desserts were also extremely nice, so I suggest getting one of each. Very accommodating for my coeliac (gluten free) partner which is very much appreciated as it can be so difficult at times to find somewhere we can all eat and still enjoy.

Overall experience was okay, just average. My partner and I both got pasta dishes which were very small servings and relatively tasteless. Definitely over priced for the serving size. Nothing compared to the authentic Italian we have had previously. Would have been nice to choose the amount of cheese on top as you do at other Italian restaurants.
Probably won’t be back. Nice bread though.

This was our third visit and it didn’t disappoint! So glad you are a Coeliac Australia accredited restaurant and we can eat with confidence.
Our waitress was fantastic by asking us if we had any dietary requirements straight up!
We will continue to dine here and couldn’t be any happier with the food or service!
