Rich and gently spicy, the Arrabbiata-style Napolitan is described by one diner as a generous portion that was still easy to finish. Its name alone may catch the eye if you are looking for pasta for dinner. The menu also lists other pasta dishes, including an arrabbiata with aubergine and bacon. Choosing between Napolitan and an arrabbiata with added ingredients is part of the appeal. The Napolitan praised in a review and the arrabbiata listed on the menu are separate options, rather than the same dish.

For a meal that goes beyond pasta, a diner reports that the prawn and mushroom garlic-butter ajillo came with bread. Another enjoyed it with sangria, suggesting a relaxed progression from a small plate to a main or pasta. The menu also features a so-called “not-quite hamburger steak”, described with mushroom cream sauce, as well as herb-roasted lamb and duck confit. There is a range of choices for anything from a light bite to a substantial dinner.

Some diners say the restaurant feels as comfortable as home. One report says it seemed a little daunting to enter at first, but felt relaxed once inside. It is also presented as a suitable place to dine alone.
