Came to celebrate my husband’s birthday on a Friday evening. The staff were amazing, the atmosphere was great and the food was SO delicious! Best Italian I’ve had in Birmingham. Will love to come again.

First time dining at an Italian restaurant and it was amazing! It’s a great spot for date nights or catching up with friends. The food was absolutely spectacular, see for yourself! I’ve provided pictures! I’ll definitely be going back soon!

We had a voucher to use from our sons (Christmas gift). The food, service and atmosphere was really really good. Was quiet when we arrived at 5pm and quite busy by the time we left at 6:45pm. We had gamberoni and arrancini starters followed by lamb cutlets and Pollo Tagliatelle. Then room for creme Brulee. Fantastic afternoon. Prices are also fair for portion size and quality.

First time coming here, absolutely delicious. Got the three mixed pastas and it gave a typical night a fun unexpected twist. Would definitely recommend.

A well overdue review but came here for a meal a month ago. A lovely Italian restaurant with fantastic choice of food. I had the soup and seafood risotto which were both delicious. The staff were so attentive and friendly. It’s not far to walk from Snow Hill station, will definitely be returning.

Top service! From the moment we walked in, to the time we left (which was well over 3hours, and not because service was slow, because we were having such a wonderful time) It was the small touches, such as complimentary bread and olives along with after dinner lemoncello that really hit the mark. The menu has so many delicious options to choose from, and our server Karem made some wonderful suggestions! Sadly, i was enjoying the food so much i forgot to take decent pictures, but attaching half way eaten ones..... I had the tagliatelle anatra, portion size was generous, with all ingredients, not just the noodle. Other dishes at the table was the fagottini cinghiale, whilst similar to the tagliatelle dish (similar sauce base) the addition of the wild bore gave a welcomed addition to the flavors and texture. The risotto fruiti de mare again was a generous sering, with all decent amount of seafood in it. I felt the wine was a little pricey in comparison to other establishments, but not to the extent I wouldn't order again in the future. Sadly I had zero room for dessert, but I will be sure to save room when I visit again!! Wonderful evening, outstanding service, beautiful decor and ambience. Great food, give this place a try!!

What a lovely restaurant. Met friends in town for lunch. Had a great meal and they catered well for our coeliac gluten free friend. Good selection of wines to accompany our 3 course lunch. Would highly recommend the specials.
