Description

You can’t help but have a great time at this wonderfully relaxed trattoria. With its gingham tablecloths and walls filled with a jumble of pictures, it's rather like stepping into nonna's house for a couple of hours. The place is perennially packed and it's easy to see why, with a terrific atmosphere accompanying the hearty, meat-centric dishes that never skimp on flavour, whether it's the dough ball ‘cuddles’ or the pork and fennel sausages. The signature negroni is as terrifically well-priced as the food.
