As per usual, the place was packed so fortunately, we had made a reservation. The family-owned and run Italian restaurant is popular, not only for its food but for the hospitality and atmosphere. We enjoyed two of their ‘specials’ for the night and rest from their à la carte menu all washed down with a lovely Italian Soave. We thoroughly enjoyed all our choices off the menu and agreed the ravioli was the standout dish on this visit!
