When it comes to the hallmarks of a well established restaurant, there are two major things to consider. Has the veteran staff burnt themselves out and is the passion still in the food? The host was accommodating enough, but I wish I could give him a relaxing holiday so he would rest and unwind. Read the menu at your table and order at the counter. All beverages are given to you on a tray to take back yourself. Luckily I was confident in myself that day not to slip anything. My wife spoke very highly of the iced coffee, as it had scoops of real coffee gelato put in it I'm not surprised! I'm not a coffee drink and even I was tempted. The serve was at good speed. Our drinks tray was taken away quickly. Our entree came out in good time. A cheese and garlic pizza - good size for two people. We had about a third left over. Our mains came out at just the right time also. The kitchen and wait staff must have had superb communication. The wife had the Bar Italia pasta; prawns, bacon, chilli and olive oil. Good helping of prawns and a good balance of subtle flavours. I went with the gorgonzola gnocchi, nothing subtle about that! At first I was dealing with a medium sized piece of gorgonzola which hadn't melted into the sauce. Powerful stuff but what do you expect? Later on in the meal the cream sauce and cheese blended together nicely for a very enjoyable experience. Respectability priced meals with a easy going atmosphere. As good as the pastas were we're going to take their pizzas for a main next time!

Great atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious food that's great value for money. Highly recommend
