Lovely meal. So needed a break from Chinese, it was lovely to enjoy fresh ingredients. Delicious carpaccio, pizza and pasta and a bottle of house red. Lovely friendly service too and good value. As others have said little hard to find but look out for bank it’s to the left of this through the back of a car park and up the lift. It was very busy so clearly people know about it!

I had a great experience at this restaurant. The ambience was lovely, and the starters—especially the fried seafood and prosciutto pizza—were delicious. Just a heads-up: the restaurant is on the 11th floor of a rather unusual commercial building, and I accidentally went to the wrong floor at first. Almost gave up, but I’m so glad I didn’t!

We had a wonderful lunch. As the other reviewers already mentioned. It’s a bit a peculiar place on the 11th floor. The entrance you can find in the alley between the bank and fire squad.

A restaurant that must be treasured as a secret but also opened up for others to frequent and savour its delectable menu. I got lost and almost gave up on finding the restaurant (blame Google maps not working in China) but also can’t blame Google maps as the location of this restaurant is inside a warehouse like building on the 11th floor. Ambiance is very inviting. The place is well appointed. Wine selection was great (although it was Spanish and needs to be Italian), warm bread with olive oil - a trademark of good Italian restaurants - was served first with an offer for another serving that is always appreciated. Menu had a range of pastas, appetisers, pizzas and deserts. Just a tad disappointed there was no ravioli or risotto which marks a restaurant standard higher. I did spot a gnocchi but settled for aglio olio pasta, my companion had the pesto pasta. Dessert was a tiramisu and an absolutely divine chocolate pudding with raspberry sorbet. The sweet and tart combo was 10 on 10. Service is very courteous and when I asked for some bread to mop up the garlicky olive oil from my pasta, I saw a sparkle in the waitress’ eyes. That told me, she likes to see her customers enjoy the creations a la Italia. All in all a perfect evening. Find it or hide it - you win either way.

Good place to hang out if you missed western food. It is not the top of the tops as far as Italian food goes, but it is a good alternative to the prevailing Chinese cuisine around. Nice atmosphere and quiet, calm music. White, house wine at reasonable prices. Can you ask more ?
