Nice hand made pasta. The pasta here was really chewy and tasty.

This is the best Italian food I have had in Newtown. But, it's more than just the food that makes this place a new go to for us. The staff is exceptional! They are all friendly, engaging, well-informed on the menu, and they work with an attention to detail and the diner experience that is normally reserved for a very high restaurant. The atmosphere creates a vibe without being noisy. Making it fun to be in while also being able to hold a comfortable conversation. The cocktails and desserts were delicious as well and worth the splurge to have the experience. We will be back!

Such a great dining experience. I have a severe gluten allergy and at times ordering can be as fun as pulling teeth, the staff last night were knowledgeable, honest and didn’t make me feel like I was an inconvenience at all. Buzzing atmosphere with delicious food, could not fault one dish. Will absolutely be back.

One word: execptional. For a very reasonable price you get to eat fresh pasta at a low profile restaurant. The service as well is on point and friendly. The special chocolate flan is out of this world. Very light, well balanced and matched perfectly with the orange and raspberry sauce. I have a hospitality background. So you can trust me. Would come back in a beat!

Great location and nice atmosphere, love the settings for sure. Tried their special burrata it is fresh and balanced. With a bit vinegar almond flakes and tomatoes are sweet. Both carbonara and Ragu Napoletana are a bit lack of creamy texture and not much flavour, homemade pasta are very well made. Can be improved on tastes I recon. PS love the girls singing!

This place is brilliant. We arrived on time for our booking and we could see it was all a little out of control and we had to wait to be seated. When we got to our table the staff were still struggling but the owner who is also the chef wandered over. He made a very nice wine recommendation and then walked us through his recommendations for the dinner and took the order. It is classic italian with a modern twist. You select you pasta and the sauce you want. There are some delicious salads and the deserts are amazing. We had three different dishes and shared. Each was perfectly cooked, beautiful fresh and tasty sauces. Great dinner we'll be back as soon as we can. The menu changes all the time.

Food was great, everything was cooked really nicely. Unfortunately, there were a few downsides to our night here. The waitresses were very polite and attentive but multiple waitresses would come to our table and re-ask what another waitress had already asked. When we ordered an entree to share we were asked if we wanted to add a homemade buffalo mozzarella/bocconcini which we agreed to but were not given a price. It was delicious but quite small and we were expecting it to be between the 10-15 mark but it came to 25 on the bill (more than our mains individually). We were also charged 5 for a bottle of still water which I assumed was given to us in a reusable glass bottle as I saw the waitress take it out of the fridge without a lid on it. Dishes also took quite a while to come out, too long of a break between each course.
