We had a group of 50 for dinner and the staff were amazing. They were so helpful and pleasant, they made sure every single person was taken care of, topped up our wine quite a bit, checked on ALL of us for our food. They worked very hard.
We had a four course meal and it was delicious from start to finish. There was 6 starter options, 8 main options and 4 dessert options, along with tea or coffee to finish.
I chose the hot wings for starter, the chicken literally fell off the bone. Divine! They were very spicy but absolutely lovely.
I chose tagliatelle alla Toscana for dinner, more chicken.. The pasta and sauce was beautiful, so creamy and full of flavour. I couldn't handle any more chicken so I left that alone. The portions were huge. I could barely finish it.
I took a break, along with everyone else! Then my dessert came out, I ordered the lemon cream and biscotti. TO DIE FOR.
So creamy, bursting with flavour and a lovely tangy aftertaste. The biscotti could have been a slight but crunchier but that's just how I like it.
Finished with an espresso and I was doneeee. I could barely move.
The owner came to see how everyone was doing, she's an absolute diamond. She made sure everything went perfectly.
Her staff are an absolute credit to her.
Fantastic restaurant.
