Rustic, simple dishes, the best ingredients we could find both locally and in Italy - and seasonal too - made with care but delivered without lots of fuss. We'll be making fresh pasta every day, serving the most beautiful anti-pasti and our aim is create a place where you'll feel right at home, tucking into any combination of great food."
