    Amazing Italian food. Pappardelle pasta was amazing, Diavola pizza even better! Incredible taste and quality, but not too rich/heavy. Ethan our server was also phenomenal, we hope he is able to get to Edinburgh! Hazelnut liquer cappuccino and Tiramisu for dessert was excellent too

    My best friend and I made a reservation for an experience at the bar. Everything was delicious. Two drinks of your choice came with our meals. There were a few courses that made us understand why this is a Michelin star restaurant. There were so many flavors happening at the same time in a good way. I’m surprised they didn’t ask for any food allergies. My bestie cannot eat pork however, the Chef was gracious and doubled him up on the next course and some salsa to take home. That salsa was absolutely delicious. I would definitely recommend you try this restaurant.
