Overall we were pretty disappointed with this restaurant and won't be going back. Firstly it was SO LOUD in there, you can't speak to each other. The waiters can't hear you. We went there because they have home made gnocchi which isn't that common in my area, when I ordered I was told they had none left. Half an hour after we ordered, a waitress actually asked me if we were waiting for our food, it was too funny a question to believe. After 40 minutes of waiting we got our entrees. The calamari was absolutely FANTASTIC, best calamari I have ever eaten in my life. Whilst eating my flavourless Aranchini Balls, I pulled a piece of metal out of my mouth. The manager's response was "Sorry about the scourer in your food, that happens sometimes, I'll give you free coffee's or something later". THAT HAPPENS SOMETIMES??????????? HOW IS THAT ACCEPTABLE?????? The mains finally arrived, and were pretty disappointing. The desserts were actually very nice! The chocolate mousse was so delicious. After a pretty disappointing night, we paid $190 for 3 people.

Approximate cost: $25

A nice clean restaurant with really friendly staff. The meals come out in pretty good time and you can hear your self talk. A great set-up inside. They have a great range of meals and really good pastas.
