Comments: 
- Starter was caprese salad & garlic pizza. Salad was fresh & tasty and garlic pizza had the perfect amount of garlic. Base nice and crispy. Cured meats platter was very good.
- Mains: Chorizo risotto had loads of flavour and saucy but not too saucy. Spag bol was also very good. Bacon, mushrooms, cream with penne pasta was absolutely amazing.

- Starter - springbok carp than salmon risotto - no complaints. All good. Generous portions.

- Beetroot was divine. Pork fillet was very generous but sauce was overly sweet.

- Banting pizza was overcooked & burnt.

- Pulled pork pizza - lots of chili but tasty. I ordered this instead of the lamb & mint I intended to order = Snr moment:-)

- Carpaccio starter was delicious. Lamb pizza good - little unevenly distributed toppings.

- Beef carpaccio and basilico pizza were good. Pizza was a bit bland but perked up after the salt cellar incident. Lovely atmosphere and good company.

- Beef ravioli was rich and creamy. a bit of spice but delicious still. Service was excellent.

- Carpaccio and tortellini starters, delicious. Brian had mussels tagliatelle and loved it.
