What Our Guests Say
★★★★★
Firstly, I am anaphylactic to wheat.
Me and my fiance went there to see if it was appropriate as a catering option for our wedding... it is!
Lorenzo was very kind and checked in on us to make sure everything was okay - he knew his stuff.
The food came out surprisingly fast, and was surprisingly fresh. Very authentic Italian food. The flavour was incredible. And the tiramisu was the best I have ever had - I could live off that (though I wouldnt live long). My only critique, is that it's quite tight/busy (we were sat very close to another table). Lastly, I do NOT want to know what the non-gf stuff tastes like - it will only depress me, as everything I had was perfect. We will be coming back many times before our wedding.
★★★★★
Had dinner here with a large group of friends. Customer service was excellent and the staff very attentive. They have great options for both vegan and gluten free requirements, catering for all of the group’s needs. Food was consistently good for everyone. I thoroughly enjoyed the vegan homemade agnolotti of fresh spinach pasta filled with cheese, pesto, pinenuts in a lemon butter sage sauce, just wish there was more of it to eat. Great place for good-quality Italian food.
★★★★★
Very delicious authentic Italian food catering to a large group. Gluten free and vegan options were huge and met everyone's dietary requirements. On the other side of the city from us, but will definitely come back.
