"Spectacular food! Classy low key sophistication. Their pesto pastas are incredible. Friendly team."
Michael-John von Hörsten
"Great restaurant. Recommended by the booked-up restaurant down the block. Wonderful authentic Genoa pesto. I got a gigantic steak that was cooked perfectly. The fish that my wife got was on too. Not as good as the steak though. Super friendly staff in an intimate setting."
