"AUTHENTIC ITALIAN food and coffee! I liked this place so much I went 3 times, (breakfast , lunch and dinner)over a 2 day period and bought food for my flight home back to the States! Lovely music piped in, personal customer service, variety of choices( I recommend the Lasagna and any of the breakfasts), pleasing presentation! I can go on and on….."

"Popped over for waffles and Italian breakfast. They were short of staff so didn't offer any waffles. There are too cakes, croissants and Italian sweets treat + good coffee. We will be back, so fingers crossed they'll make some waffles for us next time"

"It was ok. Went in the late afternoon, just had a small bite, little bland. They have wine and beer in offer. There are many other spirits in the shelf but these are only for display, but misleading."
