“ Walked in for dinner by chance in a very busy weekend afternoon. Staff was super nice. Most of the pasta dishes can be cooked as vegetarian version. Very cozy place with old fashioned decor Had a great farewell dinner in Cardiff ”
“ Lovely pizzas and very convenient for The New Theatre. Another lovely meal and the pepperoni pizza was just to my liking. The tiramisu was to die for . You never know who you'll see in there, and last night (Wed 6th Nov) was no exception and Jason Donovan (starring in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, in The New Theatre) was having a late meal ”
