What our guests are saying

Where do I even begin? Carlos swept me off my feet with his aura. Didn’t have enough chairs. He went TO THE PLACE NEXT DOOR to get more chairs. He is almost a one-man show. Low staffed. Not a problem. Comes out with the food: 6 or 7 massive big booms. He is SWEATING from the effort. Dedicated, motivated, and disciplined, aka Carlos. Food was so good. Throw money at Carlos for me. I’ll miss you, goat. I’ll be back soon.

My wife and I discovered this gem of a restaurant by chance. The owner/chef/waiter Carlos was so nice and welcoming and clearly passionate about his food and delivering great service. I had the Eggplant Parmigiana Crêpe, and it was fantastic! The restaurant is charming and cosy. You can feel and taste the thoughtfulness Carlos puts into his food. We can't wait to go back!

This was seriously delicious! I ordered the chicken parm with angel hair pasta, and it was 10/10. The red sauce was delicious, and the angel hair pasta was cooked perfectly. The other dish is the chicken scarpariello, and we picked linguine pasta – and it’s chicken, sausage, peppers and the most insanely delicious sauce. This dish was amazing and had so much flavour and a little kick! I can’t wait to come back!
