No Dessert because the meal was so filling that I could not look at more food for eighteen hours. I should not order chicken with the tagliatelle, I am sure they add an entire chicken to the already superb dish. The flavours are irresistible. The soup was lovely and the bread which accompanied it was delicious. As usual, everything was nice the staff included.

Great food and excellent waitress service

There were four of us eating and we sat outside under the awning. We had two very attentive young waitresses who were superb, and nothing was too much trouble. Excellent food and a very enjoyble time.

Lovely meal with friends
